Abstract

A toilet bowl sealing assembly comprises an upper panel (6) and a lower panel (2), wherein the upper panel has a strip seal (7) attached thereto such that, in use, the panel is placed over the toilet bowl with the strip seal adjacent the upper rim (1) of the bowl, and wherein the lower panel is placed inside the toilet bowl such that, in use, the lower panel abuts the underside of the toilet bowl rim, and wherein the two panels are attached to a locking device (10) which, in use, draws the two panels towards one another thereby sealing the toiling bowl in the event of a flood.

Description

<Desc/Clms Page number 1> Description: Domestic Flood Barrier Fig I shows in, perspective a toilet bowl with toilet panel cover and inner panel toilet locking devise in position. Fig 2 is a plan view of toilet panel cover and locking devise. Fig 3 is a plan view of inside of toilet bowl with inner locking panel. Fig 4 shows the inner locking panel. When turned clockwise it becomes locked against the inner walls and below inner rim of toilet bowl. Referring to the drawings, the toilet panel flood stopping devise consists of 2 panels and a locking mechanism. In order to create a 100% seal, the -upper panel as a strip seal running the full circumference of the inner side of the outer panel. Both inner and outer panels have a hole in the centre (Fig 3) The bolt protrudes through both panels. The bolt that passes through top panel has a rubber washer, flat mi etal washer, large Wmg Nut and a small Wing Nut at the top of the bolt and a locking -nut below(Fig 1) When the top panel is placed on the toilet bowl, the elongated bottom panel is hanging inside and below inner rim of toilet bowl (Fig 5) By turning the top Wing Nut clockwise, the elongated bottom panel swings round into a locked position below the inner rim of toilet bowl (Fig 3 & 4) Toilet bowl being of oval shape so that this locking devise comes about, a small proportion of top left and bottom -right of the panel is cut away. Bottom left and top right a larger proportion is cut away (Fig 3) By turning the large bottom Wing Nut down, it raises the inner panel against the inner rim of the toilet bowl (Fig 1) thus compresses the seal that is attached to the upper panel and adjacent to upper rim of toilet bowl.
In order to remove the panels, the procedure is reversed.
The materials for these panels can be of any rigid material, IEgh Pressure Laminate, Aluminium. Alloy or glass reinforced plastic or any other high density materials of a non corrosive nature, FEgh Pressure Laminate being the preferred material.
