Abstract

A toilet overflow prevention system is provided and is incorporated with an otherwise standard toilet wherein the toilet bowl thereof is incorporated with an overflow inlet portal defined as a generally circular opening integrally formed within the left side of the concave inner wall of the toilet bowl. The overflow inlet portal provides passage to an auxiliary waste drain outlet which extends downward through toilet bowl frontal to the primary waste discharge pipe, and through the stool portion of the standard toilet, under which connection is made to an auxiliary waste outlet piping being in fluid communication with the primary waste discharge pipe. A reticulated grate element is mounted transversely atop the circular opening in order to trap debris contained within toilet bowl so as to facilitate ascension and discharge of water through auxiliary waste drain outlet, hence preventing unpleasant overflow.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 - 5 . Canceled  
   
   
       6 . A toilet overflow prevention system comprising: 
 an overflow inlet portal wherein said overflow inlet portal is defined as a generally circular opening integrally formed within a left side of a concave inner wall of a standard toilet bowl, at a level below flush conduits thereof, wherein said circular opening has a diameter measuring approximately 1.5 inches and is contoured so as to facilitate swirling action of water upon contact therewith;    an auxiliary waste drain outlet, said auxiliary waste drain outlet is in direct passage with said overflow inlet portal; and    an auxiliary waste outlet piping, said auxiliary waste outlet piping is connected to said auxiliary waste drain outlet.    
   
   
       7 . A toilet overflow prevention system comprising: 
 an overflow inlet portal, wherein said overflow inlet portal is defined as a generally circular opening integrally formed within a left side of a concave inner wall of a standard toilet bowl, at a level below flush conduits thereof;    an auxiliary waste drain outlet, said auxiliary waste drain outlet is in direct passage with said overflow inlet portal; and    an auxiliary waste outlet piping, said auxiliary waste outlet piping is connected to said auxiliary waste drain outlet; and    a reticulated grate element, said reticulated grate element is mounted atop said circular opening in order to trap debris contained within the toilet bowl so as to facilitate ascension and discharge of water through said auxiliary waste drain outlet and hence prevent unpleasant overflow.    
   
   
       8 . The toilet overflow prevention system of  claim 6 , wherein said auxiliary waste drain outlet and said auxiliary waste outlet piping are connected through utilization of rubber gaskets and fittings being adapted to prevent leakage between said auxiliary waste drain outlet and said auxiliary waste outlet piping, as well as between said auxiliary waste outlet piping and the primary waste discharge pipe.  
   
   
       9 . The toilet overflow prevention system of  claim 6 , wherein said auxiliary waste drain outlet is in direct passage with said circular opening, said auxiliary waste drain outlet extends downward through a toilet bowl frontal to a primary waste discharge pipe and through a stool of said toilet bowl, wherein placement of said overflow inlet portal below the flush conduits allows water to flow into said auxiliary waste drain outlet with each flush, thereby maintaining fresh water therein so as to prevent objectionable sewer gases from dissipating throughout the home.  
   
   
       10 . The toilet overflow prevention system of  claim 6 , wherein said auxiliary waste outlet piping is connected to said auxiliary waste drain outlet under the stool, said auxiliary waste outlet piping is in fluid communication with the primary waste discharge pipe.  
   
   
       11 . The toilet overflow prevention system of  claim 7 , wherein said auxiliary waste drain outlet and said auxiliary waste outlet piping are connected through utilization of rubber gaskets and fittings being adapted to prevent leakage between said auxiliary waste drain outlet and said auxiliary waste outlet piping, as well as between said auxiliary waste outlet piping and the primary waste discharge pipe.  
   
   
       12 . The toilet overflow prevention system of  claim 7 , wherein said auxiliary waste drain outlet is in direct passage with said circular opening, said auxiliary waste drain outlet extends downward through a toilet bowl frontal to a primary waste discharge pipe and through a stool of said toilet bowl, wherein placement of said overflow inlet portal below the flush conduits allows water to flow into said auxiliary waste drain outlet with each flush, thereby maintaining fresh water therein so as to prevent objectionable sewer gases from dissipating throughout the home.  
   
   
       13 . The toilet overflow prevention system of  claim 7 , wherein said auxiliary waste outlet piping is connected to said auxiliary waste drain outlet under the stool, said auxiliary waste outlet piping is in fluid communication with the primary waste discharge pipe.
