Patent ID: 8516623

Claim:
A toilet comprising: a frame defining a chamber, a toilet basin associated with said frame to define said chamber into an upper chamber region and a lower chamber region, said toilet basin defining at least one basin discharge opening in communication between said upper chamber region and said lower chamber region, a tilting bowl disposed generally in said lower chamber region, said tilting bowl defining a fluid-receiving volume, said tilting bowl supported for tilting movement relative to said toilet basin between a substantially horizontal first position to receive and hold fluid communicated through said at least one basin discharge opening, and a second position permitting flow of fluid from said toilet basin, through said at least one basin discharge opening, and from said fluid-receiving volume into said lower chamber region, wherein said tilting bowl is sustained to remain in said first position by a sustaining turning moment located inside said lower chamber region about an effective support axis at least sufficient to counterbalance the turning moment, produced by said tilting bowl with its content, said tilting bowl moves from said first position toward said second position when said sustaining turning moment is smaller than said turning moment produced by said tilting bowl with its content, and said sustaining turning moment comprises at least one movable load, said movable load moves to shorten the distance between said movable load and said tilting bowl to result in reduction of said sustaining turning moment when said tilting bowl tilts to a predetermined position, to accelerate said tilting bowl movement toward fully discharge content received in said fluid-receiving volume.
