Appl. No.:

6/120133

Inventors:

Richard A. Bemis - Sheboygan WI

Assignee:

Bemis Manufacturing Company - SheboyganFalls WI

International Classification:

A47K 1312

US Classification:

4236

Abstract:

A device for joining a toilet seat and cover to a commode without using tools and from only one side. A base assembly is attached to the commode using a bolt rotated by a hand graspable head portion. A cover conceals the bolt assembly from view. In one embodiment the head portion of the bolt folds out of sight and into engagement with the base; a cover, attached to the base then folds over the handle. In another embodiment the head portion of the expanding bolt folds into the base; the base and the folded head forming complementary interlocking structures disguising the bolt assembly. The bolt employs a nut indexed to a slit on the stem portion of the base. Manipulating the head portion of the bolt draws the nut into engagement with the stem. The outward flaring of the stem anchors the bolt in the mounting holes of the commode. The head portion of the bolt holds the base on the commode.

US Classification:

Abstract:

A replacement water closet tank for toilets, comprising, a tank means formed of a thin, rigid, high-impact strength plastic, including, a generally-rectangular, open-topped tank; a cover designed to overlap and fit flush with the exterior walls of the tank; interlock means, such as flat tabs formed on the interior of and parallel to the lower rim of the cover and spaced from the cover by perpendicularly-disposed flat spines to form generally T-shaped structures which fit into slots in the upper edge of the tank to clamp the upper edge of the tank between the overlapping portion of the cover and the tabs; and a generally-rectangular, thin, pliable plastic liner having overall dimensions sufficiently less than those of the tank to fit within the tank and form an air space between the tank and the liner and an upper rim extended outwardly a sufficient distance to contact the sides of the tank and be pressed against the tank to form an air-tight seal. The flush valve assembly and ball cock assembly are mounted through holes in the liner and holes in flat-topped inward depressions in the bottom of the tank and in a manner to bind the liner to the tank, and bolts, for mounting the tank on a toilet bowl are mounted through holes, drilled at the side, in selected ones of a plurality of inward depressions in the bottom of the tank, with the head of the bolt in sufficient proximity to the liner that flexing the liner downwardly will frictionally hold the bolt head during mounting.
