Definitions

  • the invention relates to a P-trap water closet according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the existing 4.5 Litres Gravity fed Water Closet (W.C.) consists of a Pan and Cistern.
  • the Cistern can be mounted directly on to the Pan (Close-coupled) or fixed to the wall (Low level) above the Pan. Water is stored inside the Cistern until discharged manually by handle or push button. The water will fall by gravity into the Pan rim where it is directed through holes in the base of the rim on to the inside face of the Pan bowl. Water will continue to run down the Pan bowl and into the sump at the base of the Pan. This action will clean the inside of the Pan bowl washing off any waste deposits. The cleaning water will run into the Pan sump creating an overflow action at the rear section of the Pan trap-way.
  • the existing ceramic design and technology of the Pan restricts the volume of water required per full flush to around 4.5 Litres minimum.
  • the invention objective is designed to reduce the volume of water required per full flush to 2.5 Litres.
  • the new design is based on the existing gravity fed water system, using no external energy source such as pump, air pressure, vacuum etc. The new design will comply fully with national standards prevailing world wide.
  • the present invention is centred around three internal areas of the W.C.
  • JP H06 287990 A discloses a siphon type flush toilet bowl having a trap drain passage formed by mutually connecting a rising part, a down part, and a horizontal part, the section of the trap drain passage is extended from the down part toward the horizontal part.
  • the sections of the down part and the horizontal part are formed into circular and horizontally long forms, respectively, and the short diameter of the horizontal part is set to substantially the same as the diameter of the down part.
  • WO 03/060244 A1 discloses a toilet that enables the flushing of feces and urine using only a small amount of flushing water, e.g., 2.3 liters.
  • the toilet comprises a flush lever disposed inside a water supply tank, the flush lever comprises a weight containing part connected to a hinge axis extending to both sides of the water supply tank at the center part of the weight containing part like a seesaw such that a rotary weight disposed inside the weight containing part can freely move to right and left, a flush handle exposed to the outside of the water supply tank and fixed and joined to one end of the weight containing part, and a connecting part fixed and joined to the other part such that flapper assembly and the blocking means for discharge conduit engage with the operation of the flush handle.
  • the overall objective is to reduce the amount of water required for a gravity fed Water Closet (W.C.) full flush from around 4.5 Litres to 2.5 Litres.
  • W.C. Water Closet
  • the invention required new design in three internal areas of the W.C. as follows:
  • the water flow pattern is created by the size, shape and angle of the water distribution holes in the base of the Pan rim.
  • the ultimate size, shape and angle of the holes in the Pan rim is so variable that it is impossible to calculate.
  • the final most efficient holes pattern was determined by 25 years of ceramic sanitaryware manufacturing experience and 2 years of laboratory and quality assurance testing.
  • the new design for sump and trap-way 6 is based on shape and size to give the correct water carrying velocity and water cleaning velocity. It is also designed to minimise resistance to moving waste matter.
  • the shape of the sump creates the water turbulence and correct carrying velocity push between the Pan bowl and the trap-way 6.
  • the shape of the trap-way 6 is round, instead of the predominant squarer shape of the conventional Pan trap-way 6.
  • the new design trap-way has a smooth transition from 62.5mm dia. sump side 10 to 70mm dia. exit side 12. This was found to provide the correct carrying and cleaning velocity to transfer all waste matter to the external services when working in combination with the other two new design areas (Distribution holes and Cistern 8).
  • the trap-way 6 is also fully glazed inside to minimise wall resistance to the conveyed waste.
  • the new design for the water distribution holes 14, 20 and 22 is based on know-how and many trials over months of research.
  • the design detail is centred around the hole size, shape, position and angle. Holes are punched by hand using a precision gauge while clay is in the green state.
  • the hole pattern will direct water to efficiently clean the Pan bowl and provide the water agitation push in the sump to create the initial carrying velocity to convey the waste matter.
  • the new design of the water cistern 8 is very similar to the existing conventional water cistern.
  • the height of the water level inside the new cistern will determine the pressure inside the rim 2.
  • the slimmer cistern will be the only difference in external appearance of the 2.5 Litre W.C.
  • Water flow is from the cistern 8. Static height of water in the cistern 8 provides the pressure in the Pan rim 2. Water is directed out of rim 2 via holes in the base 4 of the rim 2. The hole pattern will dictate the cleaning efficiency on the bowl sides and the rate of directed turbulence in the sump. The created water carrying velocity in the sump and trap-way will convey the waste matter to external services. During this operation, the correct water cleaning velocity will clean the sump and trap-way 6. All operations will comply with International standards.
