A flushing toilet has a manually operable main discharge valve with a main flushing outlet connected to a flushing outlet below the normal water level in a toilet bowl water trap. The flushing outlet is directed toward the water trap. A generally tangential swirling outlet in an upper region of the toilet bowl is controlled by a separate valve and directed generally horizontally to cause water leaving it to follow a swirling path on the inside of the toilet bowl in a cleansing flush. The water trap has a passage that follows a path of generally squat U-shape with an inlet end opening into the lower end of the toilet bowl, a central region that is lowermost and a water trap outlet the lowermost part of which defines a depth to the water trap. The cross-sectional shape of the passage has a longer vertical axis than its horizontal axis.

A toilet assembly includes a toilet body and a nozzle system. The toilet body defines a toilet bowl and a rim area disposed along an upper edge of the toilet bowl. The rim area includes a flange defining an opening. The nozzle system includes a nozzle having a first end configured to be fluidly coupled to a water supply conduit and a second end fluidly coupled to the rim area. The second end defines an outlet formed at a compound angle. The connector assembly detachably couples the nozzle to the flange such that the nozzle extends through the opening.

A waste disposal apparatus for an aircraft comprising a basin for receiving liquid and/or solid pollutants, comprising a lid for closing off the basin, comprising a feed arrangement for supplying an air-water mixture, wherein the feed arrangement has an air-water mixing device for providing the air-water mixture and a distributing device for distributing the air-water mixture in the basin, and comprising a lead-off arrangement for leading off the effluent formed from the air-water mixture containing the pollutants, wherein the lead-off arrangement opens out into an outlet from the basin and the lead-off arrangement can be subjected to an underpressure, so that the air-water mixture, when the lid is closed, is sucked into the basin via the distributing device is proposed, wherein the air-water mixing device has an air duct and a nozzle for the dispensing of water and the water can be subjected to an overpressure and wherein the distributing device and the basin are jointly designed such that the water-air mixture is guided in a cyclonic and/or helical path from the distributing device into the outlet.

A siphonic flush toilet system and method of priming the same having a toilet bowl assembly comprising at least one jet flush valve assembly and at least one rim valve; and bowl having a rim and a jet defining at least one jet channel. The bowl has a closed jet pathway to maintain the jet channel in a primed state with fluid from the jet flush valve assembly to prevent air from entering the closed jet pathway. Flush valves may have back-flow preventer mechanisms and/or at least partly flexible valve covers, including specific valve cover structures. Flush activation assemblies may have a flush activation bar connected to the pivot rod and/or an adjustable flush connector located between the pivot rod and the flush activation bar. A kit providing one or more flush activation elements is included. The kit elements may be usable with the toilet systems and methods described.

Afforded are: a toilet body including a toilet bowl part, a rim conduit 36, and a rim part; and a functional component mounted on an upper surface part of the toilet body, rearward of the toilet bowl part. The upper surface part includes a cut-out part formed such as to be recessed downward from the other part of the upper surface part. The functional component is disposed on the cut-out part such as to be partially positioned downward with respect to an upper surface of the rim part, and such as to be partially stuck out into the toilet bowl part from upon the cut-out part, and, on a bottom surface of the stuck-out part, the functional component is provided with a conduit forming surface serving as an upper surface of the rim conduit.

There is provided a flush toilet that cleans a bowl using a swirl flow formed by cleaning water flowing down from a slit aperture formed on a rim. The flush toilet has a discharge passage an inlet of which is connected to a lower portion of a waste receiving having a bowl shape, and an inlet of an inlet conduit of the discharge passage is formed such that on a horizontal cross-section plane a maximum width of a front portion in a left-right direction is larger than a maximum width of a rear portion in the left-right direction.
