20130219605 | RIMLESS TOILET - A siphonic gravity-powered toilet is provided that is a rimless toilet and includes a toilet bowl assembly having a body and an inlet for receiving fluid. The toilet bowl has an interior bowl surface with an upper peripheral portion configured to have a shelf formed therein below an upper peripheral edge of the toilet bowl. The rimless toilet includes a jet having a jet inlet, an outlet and at least one jet channel. A manifold is included which is configured so that fluid entering an inlet of the toilet bowl assembly divides into a portion that enters the inlet of the direct-fed jet and a portion that enters an interior area of the toilet bowl. At least one toilet bowl inlet port is positioned at an upper rear portion of the toilet bowl. The at least one inlet port is configured to receive fluid from the manifold into the interior area of the toilet bowl such that at least a portion of the fluid travels along the shelf of the toilet bowl prior to passing into a lower portion of the toilet bowl. | 08-29-2013 |

20140230137 | Pour-Flush Latrines, Latrine Pans, Latrine Pan Assemblies, and Related Methods - The invention described herein includes a pour-flush latrine pan mountable at a surface that includes a collection basin and a flapper. The collection basin has an upper bowl portion that tapers to an outlet extending through a wall of the collection basin at its lower end. The flapper includes a counterbalance device and a coverplate disposed on opposite sides of a pivot. The coverplate has a shape adapted to cover the outlet of the collection basin when the coverplate is engaged against the lower end of the collection basin. The flapper is pivotally mounted against the collection basin such that the coverplate engages against the lower end of the collection basin when a pivotal force attributable to the counterbalance device is greater than a pivotal force applied to the coverplate that engages the lower end of the collection basin. In an embodiment, the shape of the coverplate defines a channel that engages the lower end of the collection basin about its perimeter when the coverplate is engaged against the lower end of the collection basin | 08-21-2014 |

20150026877 | Collection Systems for Use in Offset Pit Latrines Having Pour Flush Latrine Pans, Collectors, Offset Pit Latrines and Related Methods - The invention described herein includes a latrine pan and collector system for use in an offset pit latrine. The system permits use of a latrine pan having a flapper in an offset leach pit context, and eliminated the necessity of large scale installation of a concrete collection box, which can collect unsanitary debris. The system of the invention includes (1) a pour-flush latrine pan and (2) a collector. The collector includes a collector body that engages the latrine pan, defines a discharge opening, and secures an inclined surface sloping downwardly between an impact zone positioned beneath the outlet of the latrine pan and the discharge opening, the collector body securing the inclined surface at a position sufficiently distant from the underside of the latrine pan so that the inclined surface does not impede pivoting of the flapper, whereby material discharged from the outlet of the latrine pan contacts the inclined surface at the impact zone and slides downwardly from the impact zone to the discharge opening. | 01-29-2015 |
