Abstract

The device comprises a funnel (10) which merges into a suction line (13) that is connected to a vacuum and blocked by the funnel. The funnel has an angle ( alpha ) of 90 deg. or less at its neck. The funnel axis slopes slightly forwards from the plumbline ( beta ), towards the user of the toilet. A right-angled piece of piping is connected to the exit (12) of the funnel. The length (l) of this piece of piping is equal to roughly one quarter the diameter of the exit opening.
