Gravity fed toilet device of mega low water comsumption

Abstract

The present invention is related to toilet device. Specifically, the present invention is related to a gravity fed toilet device of mega low water consumption, since it only consumes one gallon per flush (gpf) or 3.8 liters per flush (lpf), which is highly desirable for users. Conventional gravity fed toilets require a water consumption above 1.03 gpf/3.85 lpf for them to be efficient, or they require special accessories to improve their efficiency. The present invention significantly overcomes this high water consumption by providing a mega lower water consumption toilet device (i.e., 1 gpf/3.8 lpf), which operates by means of a conventional gravity system, without needing any accessory or special fittings elements, and with performance results equivalent or superior to those required for the highest standards and the regulation of world market. Therefore, the present invention is desirable for the final consumer, since it provides a significant saving in water consumption

1 . A gravity fed toilet device comprising a main body formed by a water storing tank ( 1 ) and a bowl ( 2 ) located on a support base, characterized because the water storing tank includes an inlet valve ( 1 . 1 ) for supplying water by means of which a water head pressure of 220 mm is ensured, and an actuator ( 1 . 2 ) that lifts the seal of an outlet valve ( 1 . 3 ) allowing the exit of water toward the bowl ( 2 ) in two paths, one of the paths runs through the bowl ( 2 ) in its upper portion by surrounding a rim ( 2 . 1 ) which exhibits in its lower portion a set of washing holes ( 2 . 2 ) separated from each other and located along its lower inner surface in a sloped way; the second path at the end of the outlet valve ( 1 . 3 ) runs through the jet channel ( 2 . 3 ) which channels the exit water toward an elongated siphon ( 2 . 4 ) having smooth curved edges, wherein said siphon ( 2 . 4 ) runs through the bowl ( 2 ) downwardly as a ramp in a first path (A), and then surrounds it in its lower portion passing by the well located in the mid portion of the bowl ( 2 ), to subsequently ascends as a ramp inclined toward the rear portion of the bowl ( 2 ) in a second path (B) until it ends in a round corner, to descend again in a third path (C) toward the lower portion of the toilet device as a slightly curved straight path until it reaches a corner and ends in a path (D) leading to the blow-off pipelines.

         3 . A gravity fed toilet device according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the outlet valve ( 1 . 3 ) has an outlet diameter of 3 inches (762 mm). 
     
     
         4 . A gravity fed toilet device for adults according to  claim 1 , characterized in that it has a total height (from floor to top of rim) of 13.5 to 15.5 inches (343 to 393 mm) and a width of 14.0 to 14.8 inches (355 to 375 mm). 
     
     
         5 . A gravity fed toilet device for youngsters according to  claim 1 , characterized in that it has a total height (from floor to top of rim) of 10.5 to 15.5 inches (267 to 343 mm) and a width of 14.0 to 14.8 inches (355 to 375 mm). 
     
     
         6 . A gravity fed toilet device for children according to  claim 1 , characterized in that it has a total height (from floor to top of rim) 9.5 to 10.5 inches (241 to 267 mm) and a width of 14.0 to 14.8 inches (355 to 375 mm). 
     
     
         7 . A gravity fed toilet device for handicapped according to  claim 1 , characterized in that it has a total height (from floor to top of rim) of 15.5 to 17.0 (393 to 432 mm) and a width of 14.0 to 14.8 inches (355 to 375 mm). 
     
     
         8 . A gravity fed toilet device according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the bowl ( 2 ) is round or elongated between the fixing holes of the seat. 
     
     
         9 . A gravity fed toilet device with a round front according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the frontal portion of the bowl ( 2 ) has 16 to 17 inches (407 to 433 mm).
