Bolt Housing for Toilet Water Tank

Abstract

Toilet water tanks are mounted to the bowls with two bolts through two open holes. While rubber washers are used to seal the open bolt holes at the bottom of water tanks, water leaking is a century-old issue for many do-it-yourselfers. This invention designed a water-tight bolt housing to seal off the bolt hole. This invention eliminates the water leaking problem around water tank mounting bolts.
