Abstract

See full text

A guard for repelling rats and other animals from entering a toilet bowl fixture installed on a wax sealing ring. The guard comprises a guard tube and a plurality of flexible, resilient wires having their base ends attached to circumferentially-spaced points of the tube and their free ends extending longitudinally and radially inward in a generally truncated, conelike formation. When the toilet is flushed, the wires spread radially outward to permit human waste and wads of toilet paper to easily pass. When an animal attempts to enter a toilet bowl fixture from an attached sewer line, however, pressure by the animal against the wires moves the wires radially inward to obstruct passage of the animal.
