Pressure Toilet With Bulk Loading Siphon Assist

View page
US Patent:
20060200898, Sep 14, 2006
Filed:
Mar 8, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/074538
Inventors:
William Kuru - Plymouth WI, US
Kyle Hokel - Sheboygan Falls WI, US
Luke Zimbric - Saukville WI, US
International Classification:
E03D 11/02
E03D 11/18
US Classification:
004421000
Abstract:
A pressure toilet has a trapway providing “as needed” (bulk dependent) siphon assist. During normal liquid waste or low bulk flushing, no siphon is formed in the trapway, and the water and light waste in the bowl are evacuated solely under the force of the pressurized jet of water. A large volume near or just downstream from the dam is provided to accommodate the blow out from the water jet. Only upon reaching a threshold concentration of bulk waste material in the down leg does the trapway draw a siphon. A horizontal baffle at the lower part of the down leg assists in the accumulation of bulk material of sufficient concentration to establish a siphon in the trapway.

Trip Lever Assembly

US Patent:
20070245476, Oct 25, 2007
Filed:
Apr 19, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/737386
Inventors:
Eric Dutton - Sheboygan WI, US
Luke Zimbric - Saukville WI, US
International Classification:
E03D 5/00
US Classification:
4405
Abstract:
A trip lever assembly for initiating a flush cycle of a toilet is constructed to have a more solid and smooth feel with less play. The assembly includes a handle accessible with a stem extending into an interior of the toilet. An inner bushing fits onto the stem and inside of a fixed outer bushing. A trip arm connect the handle to a pull member operatively attached to the flush valve. The handle has an anti-rotation feature that engages an associated feature of the inner bushing so that the inner bushing mechanically couples and rotates with the handle. A high viscosity dampening grease is disposed between the inner bushing and the outer bushing to limit lateral play, and smooth the rotation of the handle.
