Toilet overflow prevention system

Abstract

A toilet over flow prevention system for installation into a toilet having a tank in fluid communication with a bowl and having a flapper style flush valve and a supplemental water supply. The over flow system includes a flapper solenoid mounted in the tank, for depressing the flapper valve into a closed position, a overflow sensor mounted in the bowl for sensing a over fill condition in the bowl, and a control box communicating with the over flow sensor and the flapper solenoid for operably signalling the flapper solenoid to depress the flapper valve into the closed position in the case of a over fill condition.

1 . A toilet over flow prevention system for installation into a toilet having a tank in fluid communication with a bowl and having a flapper style flush valve and a supplemental water supply, the over flow system comprising:
 a) a flapper solenoid mounted in the tank, for depressing the flapper valve into a closed position,   b) a overflow sensor mounted in the bowl for sensing a over fill condition in the bowl,   c) a control box communicating with the over flow sensor and the flapper solenoid for operably signalling the flapper solenoid to depress the flapper valve into the closed position in the case of a over fill condition.   
   
   
       2 . The toilet over flow prevention system claimed in  claim 1  further including a supplemental solenoid in communication with the control box, the supplemental solenoid for operably shutting off the supplemental water supply in the case of a over fill condition. 
   
   
       3 . The toilet over flow prevention system claimed in  claim 1  further including a manual override button for manually deactivating flapper solenoid and supplemental solenoid. 
   
   
       4 . The toilet over flow prevention system claimed in  claim 1  wherein flapper solenoid further including a ram for impinging upon the flapper valve. 
   
   
       5 . The toilet over flow prevention system claimed in  claim 1  wherein supplemental solenoid further including a supplemental shutoff valve operably connected to the supplemental solenoid for shutting off the supplemental water supply. 
   
   
       6 . The toilet over flow prevention system claimed in  claim 1  wherein the control box battery operated and connected electrically to the manual override button, flapper solenoid, supplemental solenoid and over flow sensor. 
   
   
       7 . The toilet over flow prevention system claimed in  claim 1  wherein the control box connected to a 120 volt alternating current wall outlet and connected electrically to the manual override button, flapper solenoid, supplemental solenoid and over flow sensor. 
   
   
       8 . The toilet over flow prevention system claimed in  claim 1  further including a manual override button for manually activating and deactivating flapper solenoid and supplemental solenoid.
