Toilet Sealing Mechanism

Abstract

The present invention is a covering to contain sewer gases within an abandoned toilet. The present invention is a covering dimensioned to seat over the abandoned toilet with an airtight seal.

1 . A covering for an abandoned toilet comprising:
 a body defined by a top surface and a bottom surface with a predetermined depth there between;   the covering having a length and a width dimensioned to fit over a rim of the toilet;   the body further defined by a side edge, an opposing side edge, a front edge and a back flat edge; and   a sealant attached to the bottom surface corresponding to circumference surrounding the rim such that an air tight seal is formed when the body is attached to the rim.   
     
     
         2 . The covering of  claim 1  wherein the body further comprises the bottom surface having a diameter smaller than the top surface. 
     
     
         3 . The covering of  claim 1  wherein the body further comprises:
 a handle attached to the side edge and the opposing side edge near the flat back edge of the covering; 
 the side edge extending from the front edge to the flat back edge; and 
 the opposing side edge extending from an opposing side of the front edge to an opposing side of the flat back edge. 
 
     
     
         4 . The covering of  claim 1  wherein the body further comprises a front edge that is curved with a predetermined radius. 
     
     
         5 . The covering of  claim 1  wherein the body further comprises:
 a hingedly attached lid disposed within the top surface; 
 the lid transverses between the open and closed position; 
 the lid is surrounding by a sealing mechanism; and 
 the sealing mechanism creating an airtight seal when the lid is in the closed position. 
 
     
     
         6 . The covering of  claim 1  wherein the handle is formed from a recessed portion along the side edge and/or the opposing side edge. 
     
     
         7 . The covering of  claim 1  wherein the handle is formed from a protruding portion along the side edge and/or the opposing side edge. 
     
     
         8 . The covering of  claim 1  wherein the top surface is flat. 
     
     
         9 . The covering of  claim 1  wherein the bottom surface is flat. 
     
     
         10 . A covering for an abandoned toilet comprising:
 a body defined by a top surface and a bottom surface with a predetermined depth there between;   the covering having a length and a width dimensioned to fit over a rim of the toilet;   the body further defined by a side edge, an opposing side edge, a front edge and a back flat edge; and   a sealant body fixably attached to the bottom surface corresponding to length and the width of the rim such that an air tight seal is formed when the sealant body is inserted into an opening of the rim.   
     
     
         11 . The covering of  claim 1  wherein the body further comprises the bottom surface having a diameter smaller than the top surface. 
     
     
         12 . The covering of  claim 1  wherein the body further comprises:
 a handle attached to the side edge and the opposing side edge near the flat back edge of the covering; 
 the side edge extending from the front edge to the flat back edge; and 
 the opposing side edge extending from an opposing side of the front edge to an opposing side of the flat back edge. 
 
     
     
         13 . The covering of  claim 1  wherein the body further comprises a front edge that is curved with a predetermined radius. 
     
     
         14 . The covering of  claim 1  wherein the body further comprises:
 a hingedly attached lid disposed within the top surface; 
 the lid transverses between the an open and a closed position; 
 the lid being surrounded by a sealing mechanism; and 
 the sealing mechanism creating an airtight seal when the lid is placed in the closed position. 
 
     
     
         15 . The covering of  claim 1  wherein the handle is formed from a recessed portion along the side edge and/or the opposing side edge. 
     
     
         16 . The covering of  claim 1  wherein the handle is formed from a protruding portion along the side edge and/or the opposing side edge. 
     
     
         17 . The covering of  claim 1  wherein the top surface is flat.
