A water closet having a trap drainage exit in a wall above a floor, in which at the time of flushing, a vent space is partitioned in a wall-like manner by water falling from a weir. A rise in the water level of a sump portion of the trap results, and air within the trap is quickly forced toward the drainage exit side by the force of the water flow to cause the interior of the trap drainage to have a decreased pressure so that siphon action easily occurs. When the feed rate of water from a tank slows, to terminate the siphon action, air is promptly introduced into the siphon area from a notch in a partitioning wall, whereby the air introduction is hastened and the siphon effect is terminated quickly.
A water closet comprising:
A water closet in which a flushing tank is formed integrally with a bowl portion of a water closet body, and a feed chamber which feeds water from said flushing tank to said bowl portion, said feed chamber interconnecting with said flushing tank substantially intermediately heightwise of said flushing tank, wherein at least a portion of said tank extends below an upper portion of said bowl portion, said water closet comprising a trap drainage formed continuously with said bowl portion and having a drain hole formed in a rear wall of said closet body substantially intermediate of a lower end of said flushing tank and a bottom surface of said closet body which is adapted to be supported by a floor surface, said drain hole of said trap drainage and said rear wall of said closet body being positioned substantially flush with a rear surface of said flushing tank, and said trap drainage further comprising a first rearwardly extending portion starting at a bottom of said bowl portion and extending rearwardly and upwardly from said bowl portion, a second portion connected to and extending substantially vertically downwardly from said first portion and extending into a third portion, said third portion connected to said second portion and comprising a sump portion at an end of said third portion connected to said second portion, said drain hole provided at an end of said third portion remote from said bowl portion of said water closet, wherein said second portion has a diameter that narrows from a first end adjacent said first portion towards a second end adjacent said third portion, and further comprising a partitioning wall on an upper wall above said sump portion;
