Toilet with a Tube Bottom Seal

Abstract

A toilet that has a tube seal at the bottom between the toilet and the sewer pipe instead of a wax or rubber ring and this tube connects to a downspout on a new type of toilet and a sewer pipe that extends a short distance above the floor instead of a closet flange. The toilet has an opening in the back of the base so that when the toilet is dropped down on the floor, it also drops down over the jointing tube inserting the jointing tube into the toilet downspout and over the raised sewer pipe and the installer can gain access to the compression bands on the jointing tube, at least one for the toilet and one for the sewer pipe, to tighten them creating a flexible permanent seal between the toilet and sewer pipe, eliminating the wax ring.

I claim:  
     
         1 . A toilet with at least one existing water way downspout that a connecting tube would be attached to it to connect the toilet to the sewer pipe or the toilet water tank to the toilet bowl; 
     
     
         2 . As per claim one, a flexible jointing tube, made up of a flexible material(s) such as a rubber like substance that would fit on the bottom of a toilet downspout or the water tank downspout and bowl riser that would join the toilet to the sewer pipe or tank and bowl, creating a permanent flexible seal; 
     
     
         3 . As per claim one, a joining tube with compression bands that has at least on band for the toilet or tank downspout and at least one band for the sewer pipe and or bowl and both would be tightened after the flexible tube was installed on the toilet downspout(s) and on the sewer pipe or bowl; 
     
     
         4 . As per claim one, a jointing tube with compression bands that has at least one band for the toilet downspout(s) and at least one band for the sewer pipe or toilet bowl and the compression bands would or would not have elongated handles to assist the installer to tighten the compression bands after the toilet is installed on the floor or wall; 
     
     
         5 . As per claim one, a jointing tube with compression bands that has at least one band for the toilet downspout(s) and one band for the sewer pipe or bowl and both would be tightened with or without a clutch so that the installer would rotate the elongated handles till the clutch, with a preset pressure or resistance so that the clutch would not start to slip until a predetermined amount of pressure is on the compression bands and yet, at the same time, the bands would not be too loose or overly tightened after the flexible tube was installed on the toilet downspout and the sewer pipe; 
     
     
         6 . As per claim one, a toilet with a wide base with an opening in the back for a floor mounted toilet, or in the case of a wall mounted toilet, an opening in the bottom, to allow access to the jointing tube and mounting hardware with or without a removable security cover(s);

         8 . As per claim one, a toilet with a wide base with an opening in the back for a floor mounted toilet, or in the bottom, in the case of a wall mounted toilet, to allow access to the mounting hardware and or jointing tube, for installation, or for removal, maintenance, cleaning or inspecting to make sure that the seal is intact; 
     
     
         9 . As per claim one, a toilet with a wide base to hide the mounting bolts or screws inside the base; 
     
     
         10 . As per claim one, a toilet that uses a jointing tube with compression bands to connect the toilet to the sewer pipe or water tank to the bowl instead a wax or rubber ring or gasket; 
     
     
         11 . As per claim one, a toilet that uses a jointing tube that is flexible so as to allow a flexing to occur between the toilet and the sewer pipe or water tank and the bowl and the seal between both respecting parts will remain permanently intact; 
     
     
         12 . As per claim one, a toilet that has at least one rigid downspout; between tank and bowl or sewer pipe with or without groove(s) on downspout and riser(s) and on the insides of the jointing tube;
