Abstract
A toilet includes a bowl having a first surface and a second surface. The first surface forms an upper portion of the bowl, whereas the second surface forms a bottom portion of the bowl. The second surface includes a receiving portion for waste disposal when filled with water. The receiving portion includes a sloping surface with depth of water being shallowest at a front end and deepest at a back end of the receiving portion to facilitate movement of the waste. Splash is reduced and sanitation is improved during usage by such configuration.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . A toilet comprising:
a bowl having a first surface and a second surface,
the first surface forms an upper portion of the bowl, and
the second surface forms a bottom portion of the bowl, wherein the second surface includes a receiving portion for waste disposal when filled with water, the receiving portion having a sloping surface with depth of water being shallowest at a front end and deepest at a back end of the receiving portion to facilitate movement of the waste, wherein such configuration reduces splash and odor during usage.
2 . The toilet of claim 1 wherein the sloping surface comprises a flat surface.
3 . The toilet of claim 1 wherein the receiving portion comprises a length of about 15 to 25 cm from a rear end of a flush rim of the toilet to a front end of the receiving portion.
4 . The toilet of claim 1 wherein maximum depth of the receiving portion is about 5.8 to 12.8 cm.
5 . The toilet of claim 1 wherein the sloping surface comprises a constant slope.
6 . The toilet of claim 5 wherein angle of the sloping surface is about 15 to 30°.
7 . The toilet of claim 1 wherein the sloping surface comprises non-constant slope.
8 . The toilet of claim 7 wherein the sloping surface comprises a first portion having a first angle θ 1 near a front end of the receiving portion and a second portion having a second angle θ 2 near a back end of the receiving portion.
9 . The toilet of claim 8 wherein θ 2 is greater than θ 1 .
10 . The toilet of claim 1 wherein the sloping surface comprises a length of about 22.8-25.5 cm from a front end to a rear end of a bottom surface of the receiving portion.
11 . The toilet of claim 1 further comprises a collection reservoir which is located behind the bowl and in communication with the sloping surface.
12 . The toilet of claim 11 wherein the sloping surface further comprises an extended sloping surface which forms a portion of the collection reservoir having a higher gradient relative to the sloping surface of the receiving portion.
13 . A toilet comprising:
a bowl having a first surface and a second surface,
the first surface forms an upper portion of the bowl, and
the second surface forms a bottom portion of the bowl, wherein the second surface includes a receiving portion for waste disposal when filled with water, the receiving portion having a sloping surface; and
a collection reservoir located behind the back of the bowl and in communication with the sloping surface, wherein such configuration reduces splash and improves sanitation during usage.
14 . The toilet of claim 13 wherein the sloping surface having depth of water being shallowest at a front end and deepest at a back end of the receiving portion.
15 . The toilet of claim 13 wherein the sloping surface comprises a flat surface.
16 . The toilet of claim 15 wherein maximum depth of the receiving portion is about 5.8 to 12.8 cm.
17 . The toilet of claim 13 wherein the sloping surface comprises a constant slope.
18 . The toilet of claim 13 wherein angle of the sloping surface is about 15 to 30°.
19 . The toilet of claim 13 wherein the sloping surface comprises a first portion having a first angle θ 1 near a front end of the receiving portion and a second portion having a second angle θ 2 near a back end of the receiving portion, wherein θ 2 is greater than θ 1 .
20 . A method of discharging waste from a toilet comprising:
providing a toilet bowl with a first surface and a second surface,
wherein the second surface when filled with water forms a receiving portion for waste disposal, the receiving portion having a sloping surface with sufficient length and depth to facilitate movement of waste and reduces splash during usage; and
providing a collection reservoir behind the back of the bowl, wherein the collection reservoir is not visible to the user.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
