Containment apparatus for toilets

摘要

A spray system, which reduces contamination caused by toilet flushing, is activated during a flush cycle to contain waste matter and prevent escape thereof from the bowl. The system is mounted above the level of water in a toilet and includes an aperture that creates a spray and is fluid communication with the flush valve of the toilet. Accordingly, each time the flush valve is activated, a portion of the water provided to the toilet is directed to the aperture to create a spray to minimize escaping effluent.

主权项

1. A system for creating a spray of fluid across water disposed in a toilet bowl in which waste resides, said system comprises:
A fluid passageway mounted on a rim of said toilet bowl, said fluid passageway including a first plurality of apertures that direct a fluid spray barrier across said water disposed in said toilet bowl, said fluid spray barrier minimizing an escape of waste from said toilet bowl during flushing, said first fluid spray escaping from said first plurality of apertures at a given pressure and, a second plurality of apertures in said fluid passageway, said second plurality of apertures directing a higher pressure stream of fluid than said given pressure into an area of said toilet bowl in which solid waste concentrates to break up said solid waste in said toilet bowl during flushing.
