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 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 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: An actuation mechanism comprising a first handle, a second handle, a housing, a link arm member provided within the housing and pivotally coupled to the handles, and a moveable stop member provided within the housing. The first handle may be mounted to a first side of a toilet tank, and the second handle may be mounted coaxially relative to the first handle on the first side. The housing may be mounted to a second side of the tank. A rotation of one of the first and second handles results in rotation of the link arm member being limited by the moveable stop member such that the link arm member is permitted to rotate a first amount. Rotation of both the first and second handles results in movement of the moveable stop member such that the link arm member is permitted to rotate a second amount greater than the first amount.
Abstract translation: 致动机构，包括第一手柄，第二手柄，壳体，设置在壳体内并可枢转地联接到手柄的连杆臂构件，以及设置在壳体内的可动止动构件。 第一把手可以安装到马桶水箱的第一侧，并且第二把手可以相对于第一侧面上的第一把手同轴地安装。 壳体可以安装到罐的第二侧。 第一和第二手柄之一的旋转导致连杆臂构件的旋转被可动止动构件限制，使得连杆臂构件被允许旋转第一量。 第一和第二把手的旋转导致可移动止动构件的移动，使得连杆臂构件被允许旋转大于第一量的第二量。

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 may include a base including a bowl, a rim disposed around a top of the bowl, and a seat rotatably coupled to the rim. The eat may include a top surface configured to support a user and a bottom surface opposite the top surface. In some examples, the top surface is disposed at an incline and the bottom surface is supported by the rim. In some example, a dampener including a softer material than the bowl and disposed within the bowl. In some examples, a bidet wand extends from the base and is configured to selectively change between a position for dispensing a flow of water for washing a user and a position for cleaning a surface of the bowl. In some examples, the toilet includes a floor connector including a channel formed by a first flange and a second flange.
