ABSTRACT:
A toilet system for reducing or eliminating the splash and noise normally associated with human waste as it falls and penetrates the surface of the water contained in a toilet bowl (10). This system includes a floating object or deflector (20) positioned at the surface of the water which functions to deflect the fall of the waste matter. An electrical circuit (1-6) generates an electromagnetic field, which interacts with the magnetic influenceable material of the deflector and/or a permanent magnet connected to the floating deflector. Interaction between the electromagnetic field and the magnetic influenceable material (e.g. iron) or permanent magnet allows the floating object to be maintained at a pre-determined, centralized and depth position on the surface of the water. By manually operating and moving the control (4) on a variable resistor in the electrical circuit, the strength of this electromagnetic field is adjusted, causing the floating object to move about at the water surface, effectively rinsing and cleaning the floating object's surfaces. The electrical circuit also includes a switch (14-17) which is physically incorporated into the operation of the toilet reservoir tank such that when the toilet is flushed, the switch is open and the electromagnetic field is inactive, allowing the deflector to fee float, and when the reservoir is full, the switch automatically closes and the electromagnetic field is activated, controlling the position of the floating deflector. A number of different deflector designs are illustrated in FIGS. 2A-2J.
