ABSTRACT:
An anchoring device is provided for use in reseating a toilet atop a broken water closet ring having a circular, annular radial flange, a portion of which is missing. The boundaries of the missing portion define a gap in the flange. The anchoring device includes a pair of arcuate members, both having flat surfaces formed at the same diameter as the flange of the water closet ring and at least one of which is formed over an arc of a length greater than a semi-circle. The members have a first set of ends hingedly joined together and a second set of apertured ends which can be moved into overlapping relationship with each other. The ends of the members are drawn apart so that they may be positioned about the closet ring with their flat surfaces located directly beneath the annular radial flange of the closet ring. The apertured ends of the members are then brought together into overlapping relationship so that the members form a collar about the water closet ring with the flat surfaces of the members juxtaposed against the underside of the radial flange. The apertured ends of the members are secured together and at least one seating bolt is passed upwardly through at least one of the sets of the ends of the members for use in reseating the toilet.
