Abstract

See full text

An overflow prevention system includes a toilet that has a tank, a flapper and a bowl. A closure unit is positioned in the tank of a toilet and the closure unit is aligned with the flapper in the toilet tank. The closure unit engages the flapper when the closure unit is turned on to inhibit the flapper from opening. In this way the closure unit can inhibit the toilet from overflowing when the toilet is flushed. A pair of conductors is each positioned in the bowl and each of the conductors is exposed to water when the bowl of the toilet becomes filled with water. The conductors are in electrical communication with the closure unit and the closure unit is turned on when a circuit is completed between the exposed ends of the conductors. Thus, the closure unit inhibits the bowl of the toilet from overflowing when the toilet is flushed.
