Interchangeable toilet tank with urinal

Abstract

A special toilet tank equipped with a pivoting urinal, to facilitate the collection of urine from a standing male person. This will protect surrounding floors, walls and structure, from urine spray. The folding urinal is moveable from a stored position in the special tank enclosure to a position above the toilet bowl. The urine drops directly into the toilet bowl eliminating the need for a separate drain line. A water line passes through a position valve, to provide rinse water inside the urinal to flush the urine from the inside surfaces. The rinse water also drops into the bowl during flushing. When the urinal is in the stored position, the position valve prevents flow of water to the urinal during normal flushing.

1 . An interchangeable water closet tank that includes a pivoting urinal that collects urine and directs the waste water into the water closet bowl, and further uses the internal water supply to provide rinse water for the urinal during normal flush of the toilet. 
     
     
         2 . The water closet tank of  claim 1  wherein the pivot axis is inclined to cause the urinal to travel downward when moved into the use position. 
     
     
         3 . The inclined pivot axis of  claim 2  wherein it is at such an angle as to cause the bottom of the urinal to travel below the top surface of the water closet bowl. 
     
     
         4 . The urinal of  claim 1  when in the use position drains directly into the water closet bowl. 
     
     
         5 . The water closet tank of  claim 1  wherein the rinse water is controlled by a valve such that rinse water flows to the urinal only when the urinal is over the water closet bowl. 
     
     
         6 . The water closet tank of  claim 1  wherein the appearance of the water closet when not in a use position has no extra outside appendages or connections. 
     
     
         7 . The water closet tank of  claim 1  wherein the mounting detail allows interchangeable replacement of an existing standard tank without modification. 
     
     
         8 . The water closet tank of  claim 1  wherein the rinse water is supplied inside the tank allowing interchangeable replacement of an existing standard tank without requiring additional external water line connections. 
     
     
         9 . An integrated single piece water closet that includes a pivoting urinal that collects urine and directs the waste water into the water closet bowl, and further uses the internal water supply to provide rinse water for the urinal during a normal flush of the toilet. 
     
     
         10 . The water closet tank of  claim 8  wherein the pivot axis is inclined to cause the urinal to travel downward when moved into the use position. 
     
     
         11 . The inclined pivot axis of  claim 9  wherein it is at such an angle as to cause the bottom of the urinal to travel below the top surface of the water closet bowl. 
     
     
         12 . The water closet tank of  claim 8  wherein the rinse water is controlled by a valve such that rinse water flows to the urinal only when the urinal is over the water closet bowl. 
     
     
         13 . The urinal of  claim 8  when in the use position drains directly into the water closet bowl. 
     
     
         14 . The water closet tank of  claim 8  wherein the appearance of the water closet when not in a use position has no extra outside appendages or connections.
