BRIEF SUMMARY
This is a National Phase of International Patent Application No. PCT/CA95/00121, with an international filing date of Feb. 28, 1995, now abandoned.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a new type of toilet comprising no siphon.
2. Brief Description of the Prior Art
Most of the toilets presently in operation and available on the market are flushing toilets comprising a bowl and a siphon to evacuate waste water from the toilet bowl.
A major drawback of these conventional toilets is that they require a water tank or a water pump to create a fairly high pressure for cleaning the toilet bowl and discharging the waste water through the siphon.
OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION
An object of the present invention is therefore to eliminate the above mentioned drawback of the prior art by providing a toilet comprising no siphon. A related object is therefore to provide a toilet which uses less water and is less noisy than conventional toilets. Another related object is to provide a space saving by eliminating the requirement for a water tank or a water pump.
A further object of the present invention is to provide a toilet comprising a cup to hold a required level of water in the toilet bowl, this cup tilting to discharge waste water from the toilet bowl.
Another object of the invention is to provide an autodisinfecting toilet seat apparatus and a toilet seat apparatus which automatically dispenses toilet seat sanitary cover sheets.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
More particularly, in accordance with the present invention, there is provided a toilet comprising: opening, this frame defining a hollow chamber situated under the toilet bowl and formed with a waste water bottom discharge hole; extend over the bottom discharge opening of the toilet bowl; and between a first position in which the cup means is not tilted to contain water which is communicated to the toilet bowl through the bottom discharge opening, and a second position in which the cup means is tilted to discharge waste water from both the cup and the toilet bowl in the hollow chamber to finally evacuate this waste water through the discharge bottom hole.
As a tilting cup is provided, a siphon is no longer required and the drawback associated to the siphon as discussed hereinabove is thereby eliminated.
In accordance with preferred embodiments of the toilet according to the present invention: horizontal axis; one is pivotally mounted about a given axis to tilt about this axis; control system comprises means responsive to the triggering means for tilting the cup means from the first position to the second position to discharge the waste water from both the cup means and the toilet bowl in the hollow chamber and means for subsequently returning the cup means from the second position to the first position, and the toilet comprises a water supply system itself including means for supplying water to the toilet bowl as the cup means is tilting to clean the toilet bowl and the cup means and means for supplying water to the toilet bowl as the cup means returns from the second position to the first position and/or when the cup means has returned to the first position to raise the water in the toilet bowl to a predetermined level; toilet further comprises a water supply system for supplying water to the toilet bowl and means for triggering the water supply system for supplying water to the toilet bowl in order to raise the water in the toilet bowl from the first lower level to a second higher level, the tilt control system comprises means responsive to the second higher level of water for tilting the cup means from the first position to the second position to discharge the waste water from both the cup means and the toilet bowl in the hollow chamber and means for returning the cup means from the second position to the first position, and the water supply system comprises means for supplying water to the toilet bowl as the cup means is tilting to clean the toilet bowl and the cup means and means for supplying water to the to
