Anti-overflow toilet and method

A toilet fixture that is fluidly coupled to a sewer drainage pipe, said fixture comprising:

• a bowl having a waste receiving basin that includes an upper rim and which holds an amount of water at a certain water level and a supply water plenum providing said water to said basin through a channel providing said water to a plurality of holes located around a rim of said basin;
• a primary drain fluidly connects said basin and which terminates at a drain passage, a cylindrical outer surface and a thickness between said outer surface and said inner surface and is fluidly coupled to said sewer drainage pipe;
• and
• a secondary drain fluidly connects said supply water plenum to said sewer drainage pipe, said secondary drain is separate from said primary drain and including:
• inlet means that are disposed within a rim overflow cavity situated proximately to said channel and configured to receive a flow of water from said channel during a primary drain clog event, said inlet means comprising at least one secondary drain hole;
• a second drain channel, in fluid communication with said inlet means, having a water trap;
• and
• a second drain outlet that is in fluid communication with said second drain channel, whereby said inlet means permits rising waste water to flow from said supply water plenum into said second drain channel and out of said second drain outlet to said sewer drainage pipe separately from the waste water of the primary drain.
