TOILET THAT ALLOWS THE SEPARATION OF SOLID AND LIQUID WASTE, COMPRISING A BOWL, THE REAR PART OF WHICH IS EQUIPPED WITH A RETRACTABLE URINAL THAT IS ACTUATED BY MEANS OF A MECHANICAL, ELECTROMECHANICAL, HYDRAULIC OR REMOTE MECHANISM

Abstract

The present application is directed to a toilet that allows the separation of solid and liquid waste. This toilet, when activated, releases a retractable urinal that pivots inside the toilet bowl, covering the water visible in the bowl, allowing liquid waste to flow through the retractable urinal through a flexible hose which connects directly to the drain, avoiding the siphon and without the need to apply a discharge of water. In case that a water discharge is wanted to use in the retractable urinal, it is possible, and it is a significantly less amount than that used for solid waste, as it is only the discharge of water necessary to wash the walls of the retractable urinal, and not the 4.2 liters needed to activate the toilet siphon.

10- Toilet that allows the separation of solid and liquid waste, according to claim 1, CHARACTERIZED because it consists of a seal stop (4) in the upper rear part of the bowl (1) which acts as a stop and seals the retractable urinal (2) when it is deployed.

11- Toilet that allows the separation of solid and liquid waste, according to claim 10, CHARACTERIZED because the seal stop (4) consists of internal hoses that run through its interior, which are connected to a tank (5).

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0018] The toilet that allows the separation of solid and liquid waste is composed of a retractable urinal (2) located in the posterior part of the bowl (1) that is actuated by means of a mechanical, electromechanical, hydraulic, or remote mechanism.

[0019] An anchor bar (3) located in the lower rear part of the toilet bowl (1) laterally crosses the width of the toilet, and in the central part of the anchor bar (3) it is attached to the retractable urinal (2), allowing the actuation, movement, and deployment of the retractable urinal (2).

[0020] This deployment of the retractable urinal (2) is mechanically actuated by the pedal bar (9), electromechanically by means of a motor, hydraulically by hydraulic means, or remotely. The toilet has an area enabled for the installation and maintenance (7) for any of these drives. These actions allow the retractable urinal (2) to pivot with respect to the anchor bar (3), thus deploying the retractable urinal (2) for liquid waste. The retractable urinal (2) reaches a stop seal (4), which acts as a stop and seals the liquid discharge mechanism, enabling the retractable urinal (2) to be used. Liquid waste flows through the retractable urinal (2) through the flexible hose (6), which connects directly to a drain (8). The flexible hose (6) consists of a unidirectional valve that allows the flow of urine to flow to the drainage without allowing gases to enter the bathroom.

[0021] Since the urine flows directly to the drain (8) it is not necessary to apply a water discharge, but in case that it is desired to apply, it is possible because the retractable urinal (2) as the seal stop (4) consist of hoses that go through them internally, which are connected to a tank (5). Releasing water from the two ends of the urinal (2) and from the top of the seal stop (4) when it is deployed and a water discharge is desired.

[0022] When the mechanism is mechanically, electromechanically, hydraulically, or remotely actuated again. These actions contract the retractable urinal (2), hiding the retractable urinal (2) behind the bowl (1), leaving the bowl (1) with its normal appearance and enabled for the use of solid waste.

[0023] The entire lower edge of the seal stop (4) consists of one seal, which hermetically seals the retractable urinal (2) when the retractable urinal (2) is deployed and enabled for the use of liquid waste. So also the bowl (1) that is in contact with the retractable urinal (2) when it is hidden and not deployed consists of a seal which hermetically seals the bowl for the use of solid waste.

[0024] With regard to the materials, both the retractable urinal (2) and the seal stop (4) can be made in any of the materials commonly used for toilets; for example, ceramic, slab, porcelain. Or also lighter materials such as synthetic polymers or thermoset resins. In the case of the anchor bar (3) and the pedal bar (9), they can be made in synthetic polymers, thermoset resins, metals, and alloys.
