ABSTRACT:
A device for wetting toilet tissue comprising a small, enclosed reservoir fitted with air vents, a finger actuated valve lever, an inlet and outlet orifice and a water flow controlling valve. The device attaches to a bracket that is secured at the other end to the upper toilet bowl flange by one of the toilet seat mounting screws and nuts, positioning the device under the water closet tank and protruding slightly forward. The water is supplied via a small plastic flexible tubing connected to a tubular "T" that is installed between the water closet overflow pipe and the orifice nozzle that is part of the water closet filling ballcock valve. Water flows into the small capacity reservoir whenever the toilet is flushed. To minimize having cold water replacing the ambient-air warmed water in the reservoir, a float actuating lever closes the input orifice when the reservoir is full. A venting orifice allows the release of air being displaced by the inflowing water. This vent is also connected by a parallel flexible tubing that leads back to the toilet water closet tank.
