WATER TOILET

Abstract: A water toilet comprising a toilet seat and a flat and high water reservoir having a width similar to that of the toilet seat. The water toilet has a flat rear surface and may therefore without void spaces be disposed close to a wall to save space. At the edges of the water reservoir there are air channels (2) that pass from the toilet seat to a ventilation duct at the ceiling.

Description: Water toilet The present invention relates to a water toilet, and particularly to a water toilet of the kind as defined in claim 1. The aim of the invention has been to provide a water toilet which is space saving, water saving and comfortable for cleaning. To the just mentioned end, the water toilet assording to the invention has been designed so as is defined in principle in the characterizing clause of claim 1. The invention will be disclosed in more details below with reference to the accompanying drawing. Fig. 1 shows one embodiment of a water toilet, chosen as an example, in a front view; Fig. 2 is a side-view, corresponding to fig. 1; Fig. 3 is a plan-view, corresponding to fig. 1. The water toilet in the example comprises a water reservoir 1, which is flat and high, i.e. only about 10-20 mm thick and about 2000 mm high. The width is essentially the same as that of the toilet seat proper. Along the outer edge the water reservoir 1 has air channels 2 which evacuates the odor from the toilet seat and can easily be connected to an exhaust valve at the ceiling through horizontal moulding like strips 3 or the like. In the example the filling and flushing mechanism " 4 is disposed between the water reservoir and the toilet seat. The water reservoir 1 may be designed as a closed vessel, i.e. upwardly closed. In such a case the water pressure within the reservoir will be built up by com¬ pression of the entrapped air. In this case, it is possible to achieve, at flushing, a powerful jet that cleans the bowl better while using a smaller quantity of water. Normally, the outlet of the seat is disposed 100-150 mm from the wall. In the example the outlet of the toilet seat is turnable, so that it may be turned into any desired angle, which means that the toilet seat proper may be disposed closer to the wall than with ordinary toilet seats. A displacement sidewardly would be permitted by turning of the water trap leftwardly or rightwardly. If the seat is moved up close to a wall or close to the flat water reservoir, and by building in the seat into a smooth outer shell it will be possible to save much time at cleaning and tidying up. Through the invention the advantages are achieved that space is saved, that the water reservoir may be decoratively designed and that wall lining material is saved. Further, the water reservoir may be designed to carry shelves or cupboards. A number of modifications and alterations as to details may be carried out within the scope of the inventive idea.

Claims: Claims 1. A water toilet comprising a toilet seat (5) and a water reservoir (1) connected to the rear portion thereof, characterized in that the water reservoir (1) extends upwardly from the seat (5) to nearly normal rool height and has a smooth front surface along essentially its full extent, and in that the width of the reservoir (1) is essentially the same as that of the seat (5) . 2. A water toilet as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that the reservoir has the shape of a disc of even thickness. 3. A water toilet as claimed in claim 1 or 2, characterized in that the reservoir (1) is flat and high and has a hight of about 2000 mm, a thickness of about 10-20 mm, and a width similar to that of the toilet seat. 4. A water toilet according to one or more of claims l*r3, characterized in that the water reservoir has, along at least one of its vertical edges, an air channel (2) extending from the seat (5) to the uppermost end of the water reservoir (1) . 5. A water toilet according to one or more of claims 1-4, characterized in that the water reservoir (1) and the seat (5) have each rear surfaces lying essentially in one and the same vertical plane. 6. A water toilet according to one or more of claims 1-5, having an outlet duct passing from a central lowermost portion of the seat (5) and comprising a water trap, characterized in that the water trap is turnable and in that the outlet is disposed in a vertical plane which forms an acute angle, preferably 35 -55° with the front surface of the water reservoir (1) . 7. A water toilet according to one of claims 1-6, characterized in that the water reservoir (1) has, at the front surface thereof, fastening means for shelves, cup- boards, suspension devices or the like. 8. A water toilet according to one of claims 1-7, characterized in that the water reservoir (1) is airtight closed upwardly. 9. A water toilet according to one of claims 1-8, characterized in that the water reservoir comprises a standing tube and a front wall, in front thereof, forming the front surface of the water reservoir, which front wall at the side edges thereof, may be connected to corner forming room walls. 10. A water toilet according to one of claims 1-9, characterized in that the filling and flushing valve (4) mechanism is disposed close to the lowermost portion of the water reservoir (1) , where this merges with the toilet seat (5).
