Abstract: The design consists of a water closet having a bowl portion and a tank portion. The bowl portion shows a rectangular bottom edge from which surfaces extend upward to a first horizontally planar surface. On the sides, a portion of the side surfaces extend upward to a lower horizontally planer surface below the level of the first horizontally planer surface extend upward to the first horizontally planer surface, separating the first horizontally planer surface into front and rear potions. The front first horizontally planer surface extends inwards, then becomes outwardly convex and extends upward and inward, then becomes planer and extends upward to a second horizontally planer surface. The second horizontally planer surface extends inwards, then becomes outwardly convex and extends upward and inward, then becomes planer and extends upward and inward slightly to a downwardly convex surface. The downwardly convex surface extends upward and outward to a bottom surface. Vertically planer side surfaces extend upwards from the lower and first horizontally planer surfaces and connect at a rearwardly convex surface which when looked at from the side has a profile which is rearwardly concave at the bottom extending forward and upward then rearward and upward, then becoming rearwardly convex and extending rearward and upward then forward and upward, then becoming rearwardly concave again and extending upward and forward then upward and rearward to the bottom surface. The bottom surface is further defined by an outer edge which is oval-shaped towards the front and extends straight rearward toward the rear to a straight rear edge portion. From this outer edge a surface extends essentially upwards to a top edge having the same shape as the outer edge, the surface however being slightly outwardly convex and extending slightly inward at the oval-shaped portion. An essentially planer top surface is defined by the top edge and an oval-shaped inner edge. From the inner edge a surface extends downward to an upwardly concave surface which extends downward and inward to an opening.The tank portion has an essentially planer first bottom surface and an essentially planer second bottom surface located at a level above the first bottom surface and separating the first bottom surface into two separate portions. The tank portion is rectangular in shape with essentially planer surfaces extending upward from the bottom surfaces to the lower surface of the cover portion. This lower surface is defined by a rectangular edge from which rectangular vertically planer surfaces extend upward to a first upper edge which defines a first planer surface. A second planer surface rises above the first planer surface and is inset form the first upper edge a short distance, a portion of the forward edge of the second planer surface being inset slightly more than the remainder of the forward edge.Drawings of the design are provided in which:Figure 1 is a perspective view of a water closet according to the design;Figure 2 is top plan view thereof;Figure 3 is a right side elevational view thereof, the left side elevational view being a mirror image to the right side shown; andFigure 4 is a front elevational view thereof.
