ABSTRACT:
There are means in the sanitary facility defining a receiving bowl for liquid and/or solid excrement, and the bowl has a discharge valve in the bottom portion thereof. Also, there are means for controlling flow through the valve, including a pivotally mounted water receptacle which is operative to open the valve to flow when the receptacle is relatively inclined about its pivotal axis in a first position, and to close the valve to flow when the receptacle is relatively inclined about its pivotal axis in a second position relatively angularly spaced from the first position. Additionally, there are means for supplying water to the bowl to form a pool of carrier liquid therein when the valve is closed; a control valve which is adapted to be interconnected to a source of pressurized water; and control means which are responsive to the level of water in the bowl to close and open the control valve to flow as the water level rises and falls, respectively. Hand or foot operated means are provided for yieldably biasing the receptacle into the first relatively inclined position thereof, to open the discharge valve in the bowl to flow, and there are means providing a connection between the control valve and the receptacle whereby the receptacle is supplied with water when the control valve is open to flow. Furthermore, the receptacle is eccentrically mounted about its pivotal axis to pivot between the first and second positions thereof against the bias thereon, when the water accumulates to a predetermined level in the receptacle, thus closing the bowl discharge valve to flow; and there are means on the receptacle for discharging the water from the same when the receptacle assumes the second position thereof, to restore the receptacle to a neutral condition when the bowl discharge valve is closed.
