Abstract

A system and apparatus for reducing the amount of water required for flushing toilets. The system flushes a toilet containing a small amount of water in the bowl with air forced into the bowl from a special airtight lid and a vent in either this lid or in the toilet bowl area. While holding down the airtight lid, injected air from an air pressure device connected to the vent flushes the toilet, using minimal water as compared with conventional toilets. Afterwards water is added to the toilet bowl to reseal the trap and ready the toilet for the next use. By allowing this same air pressure device to produce suction as well as air flush, it will also function as a dry plunger in the event of a blockage and because this system uses air rather then water for flushing the swear pipe is predominately filled with air preventing freezing of pipes. It also will give a long flush capacity for those systems that enter a cesspool or septic tank.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . I claim an air flush system and apparatus that enables a toilet to be flushed with air comprising
 a. of a standard toilet which contains enough water in it to seal its trap and surround a waste soiling   b. a lid that closes over the bowl portion of said toilet that can be held to make the bowl area airtight   c. an air compression device connected to said airtight lid and vented into said airtight bowl area   thereby air can be injected into said airtight toilet so the contents will be flushed with air into a waste discharge pipe.   
   
   
       2 . various methods to allow water to be add to the bowl area during the aforementioned air flushing procedure 
   
   
       3 . the air pressure device as claimed in  claim 1  which is revisable so it can suck as well as blow, thereby:
 a. said system can function as an air plunger to open clogs from said trap and discharge pipe   b. a gauge can be added to the lid to measure the air pressure thereby the flow condition of the trap and discharge pipe can be noted   
   
   
       4 . The air flush system in  claim 1  can also be used with a site toilet which is toilet outhouse type toilet especially made for the air flush system including in said site toilet:
 a. a molded inner liner of a seat section and bowl area of a toilet. Said site toilets will be light weight and stack one inside the other and be made of durable material that can me modified to have a vent pipe hole with pipe installed so air can be injected through it; similarly, a toilet that is not hooked up to a water supply can have an air pressure cupping attached to where the water supply hole was   b. a trap section which can connect to said site toilet which well only make one right angle there by its discharge fitting can come out the back or side then said site toilet is reinforced with building materials as to make said site toilet able to be sat on   c. a flexible coupling to connect the trap discharge fitting to a swear pipe thereby enabling an angle of decline of said pipe and the opportunity to be able to change said pipe's direction   d. a swear pipe in length to reach a cesspool or connect to a swear discharge line as said pipe will be connected to the toilet with a flexible coupling   thereby the direction the site toilet has the pipe coming out and the flex coupling the cesspool location can be changed by swinging the pipe in an arc.   
   
   
       5 . As is claimed in  claim 1  that can save water by using water gathered by air flush system devices as said water will directly added into the toilet bowl area therein said water dose not need clean so it can be gathered by
 a. a shower device called the shower aqueduct that will cover the showerhead and hose the water into a wash bucket. Then you can run the hot water until it becomes warm and then disconnect the aqueduct and take an immediate hot shower. This used water will be perfect for doing some wash and then used to ready the air flush toilet as stated in  claim 1  trap water   b. Water can be retrieved from the kitchen sink via the use of an air flush siphoning system that will get the sink water into a water bucket.
