Abstract: A toilet includes a base, a cover, and a seat. The seat is rotatably coupled to the base, and the cover is rotatably coupled to the seat. The cover and the seat define an angled axis that is oriented upward and forward toward a front end of the base. The cover and the seat are each configured to rotate about the angled axis between a lowered position in which the cover and the seat are located adjacent the base and a stowed position in which the cover and the seat are oriented in an upward direction.

Abstract: A toilet assembly includes a toilet, a non-vitreous fluid delivery component, and a connector assembly. The non-vitreous fluid delivery component is coupled to, and in fluid communication with, the toilet. The connector assembly couples the non-vitreous fluid delivery component to the toilet in a substantially watertight manner. The connector assembly includes a connector body, a nut adjustably coupled to the connector body, and a sealing member disposed on the connector body. The nut is configured to be adjusted relative to the connector body to cause the connector body to compress the sealing member against a portion of the toilet, such that the sealing member creates a substantially watertight seal between the toilet and the connector body.

Abstract: A toilet having a one piece structure, a flush valve, and a seal. The structure includes a base having a fluid channel in fluid communication with a bowl; a tank having an internal compartment; a wall disposed between the tank and the base, the wall having an opening fluidly connecting the internal compartment and the fluid channel; and a retaining structure in the internal compartment. The flush valve has a valve body including an inner wall, which is disposed in the opening and extends from a first end in fluid communication with the internal compartment to a second end in fluid communication with the fluid channel, and a locking flange extending radially outward from the inner wall, the locking flange being retained between the retaining structure and the wall in a locking position. The seal is disposed between the locking flange and one of the wall or the retaining structure.

Abstract: A toilet that includes a bowl, a wall extending from the bowl and having an opening, and a mounting assembly. The mounting assembly has a base mountable to an object; a clamping member rotatably coupled to the base about an axis of rotation, the clamping member having a bore; and an adjusting member extending along a longitudinal axis through the opening and the bore. The longitudinal axis is transverse to the axis of rotation, and rotation of the adjusting member in a first direction about the longitudinal axis rotates the clamping member about the axis of rotation.

Abstract: A method of securing a toilet base that includes coupling a foot of a first support member to a first portion of a trap; pivotally coupling a first clamping member to a leg of the first support member, so that first clamping member can rotate relative to the first support member; placing the toilet base over the trap, so that a skirt of the toilet base surrounds the first support member and the first clamping member; inserting a first adjusting member through a first opening in the skirt so that a shank of the first adjusting member is coupled to a distal end of the first clamping member; and rotating the first adjusting member in a first direction to a secure position in which a head of the first adjusting member loads the skirt and the first support member loads the shank to secure the toilet base to the trap.

Abstract: A toilet has a trapway extending between a bowl opening and a toilet outlet opening. A heel links and provides a bend between a down leg and an out leg of the trapway. The heel has a cross-sectional profile having a major dimension and a minor dimension. The major dimension increases as the down leg transitions into the heel and reduces as the heel transitions into the out leg. This heel configuration in the trapway forms a siphon during a flushing action of the toilet.
Abstract translation: 厕所具有在碗开口和马桶出口开口之间延伸的陷阱。 脚跟连接并提供了一条在脚下和弯道之间的弯道。 脚后跟具有主要尺寸和次要尺寸的横截面轮廓。 当脚跟过渡到脚后跟时，主要尺寸增加，随着脚跟过渡到腿部，尺寸减小。 在厕所的冲洗动作期间，该通道中的该跟部构造形成虹吸。
