Abstract:

A basin may comprise a wall wherein the wall may be circumscribed about a bowl of a toilet. The wall circumscribed about the bowl of the toilet may define a cavity which may catch or contain waste water overflowing from the toilet. Further, the bowl may be modified with a notch at a rear portion of a rim of the bowl. The notch may operate to direct overflowing waste water therethrough and into the basin or in the alternative into a bucket. In another embodiment of the present invention, a bowl may be modified with a threaded aperture. The threaded aperture may be large enough for an instrument or hand to pass therethrough so as to aid in removing debris from a siphon passageway. In another embodiment of the present invention, a bowl of a toilet may be fabricated with a built in plunger. The built in plunger may have a head that is disposed within the siphon passageway. The head may have a non actuated position which allows the toilet to operate as normal and an actuated position which traverses the head from the non actuated position to an actuated position. The traversing from the non actuated position to the actuated position may force debris trapped within the siphon passageway back into the bowl of the toilet.
