Seal Cup and Mounting Caps for Toilet Installation

Abstract

A unique seal cap is used for pressure testing waste and drain pipes prior to the wax free installation of a toilet. The disclosed seal cap artfully fits over a toilet flange without interfering with the subsequent configuration and wax free installation of a toilet. The seal cup system also stores new caps that are uniquely threaded to avoid dangerous and unsightly screws or protruding traditional screw caps. The disclosed screw cap systems provide a first or inner cap having centrally disposed inner threads to secure a toilet to a flange. The first or inner caps also have outwardly facing threads at the outer circumference, enabling the attachment of outer caps that are more bulbous than the caps of the prior art, with the disclosed outer caps being safer, having a less pointed protrusion.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A toilet installation and pressure testing kit, the kit comprising:
 a) a seal cup ( 100 ) with the seal cup comprising a lower cavity ( 110 ), an upper lip ( 130 ) and a plurality of feet ( 140 ) with the plurality of feet attached to a lower surface of the upper lip.   
     
     
         2 . The seal cup of  claim 1  wherein the lower surface of the upper lip comprises a concentric wall that comports with a wax free spring seal ( 400 ). 
     
     
         3 . The seal cup of  claim 1  wherein the upper lip comprises a planar surface, not defining a lower cavity. 
     
     
         4 . The kit of  claim 1  further comprising a plurality of attachment bolts ( 300 ); 
     
     
         5 . The kit of  claim 4  further comprising a plurality of cap assemblies ( 200 ), with each cap assembly comprising:
 i. an outer cap ( 260 ) with the outer cap having an inside surface comprising inner threads ( 270 ); 
 ii. an inner cap ( 220 ) with the inner cap comprising outwardly disposed outer threads ( 230 ). 
 
     
     
         6 . The kit of  claim 5  further comprising a wax free spring seal. 
     
     
         7 . The seal cup of  claim 1  further comprising a transparent member covering a top void of the seal cup. 
     
     
         8 . The kit of  claim 1  further comprising a plurality of thermal caps ( 800 ) with each thermal cap comprising an outer curved surface ( 810 ), an outer flat surface ( 820 ), a bottom surface ( 815 ) and a cap sleeve ( 840 ). 
     
     
         9 . The kit of  claim 8  further comprising a threaded insert ( 900 ). 
     
     
         10 . The kit of  claim 9  wherein the threaded insert comprises outer friction ridges ( 910 ), an exterior lip ( 840 ), a superior smooth section ( 950 ) and interior threads ( 920 ).
