Toilet flange

Abstract

The present disclosure generally provides embodiments for a toilet flange. In an embodiment, the toilet flange includes a body having a toilet-facing surface, a drain-facing surface, and a drain opening therethrough and at least two chambers extending from the toilet-facing surface only partially into the body, each chamber having a fastener passageway for receiving a portion of a first fastener for coupling the body to a toilet base.

         2 . The toilet flange of  claim 1 , wherein the body has a poly-sided perimeter shape. 
     
     
         3 . The toilet flange of  claim 1 , wherein the toilet-facing surface of the body includes a dam feature configured to prevent a fluid from escaping radially from a periphery of the toilet-facing surface. 
     
     
         4 . The toilet flange of  claim 3 , wherein the dam feature includes a raised edge. 
     
     
         5 . The toilet flange of  claim 1 , wherein the toilet-facing surface includes at least a portion slanted toward the drain opening. 
     
     
         6 . The toilet flange of  claim 5 , wherein a highest point of the toilet-facing surface is substantially adjacent to a dam feature configured to prevent a fluid from escaping radially from a periphery of the toilet-facing surface. 
     
     
         7 . The toilet flange of  claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of mounting apertures extending through the body and configured to receive a second fastener for attaching the body to a fixed surface. 
     
     
         8 . The toilet flange of  claim 7 , further comprising a retaining wall substantially surrounding a respective mounting aperture in the plurality of mounting apertures. 
     
     
         9 . The toilet flange of  claim 1 , further comprising a channel fluidly connecting a respective chamber in the at least two chambers to the drain opening, the channel extending from the toilet-facing surface only partially into the body. 
     
     
         10 . A toilet flange comprising:
 a body having a toilet-facing surface, a drain-facing surface, and a drain opening therethrough; and   a dam feature configured to prevent a fluid from escaping radially from a periphery of the toilet-facing surface.   
     
     
         11 . The toilet flange of  claim 10 , further comprising at least two chambers extending from the toilet-facing surface only partially into the body, each chamber having a fastener passageway for receiving a portion of a fastener for coupling the body to the toilet base. 
     
     
         12 . The toilet flange of  claim 10 , wherein the body has a poly-sided perimeter shape. 
     
     
         13 . The toilet flange of  claim 10 , further comprising a plurality of mounting apertures extending through the body and configured to receive a fastener for attaching the body to a fixed surface. 
     
     
         14 . The toilet flange of  claim 13 , further comprising a retaining wall substantially surrounding a respective mounting aperture in the plurality of mounting apertures. 
     
     
         15 . The toilet flange of  claim 10 , wherein the toilet-facing surface includes at least a portion slanted toward the drain opening. 
     
     
         16 . The toilet flange of  claim 15 , wherein a highest point of the toilet-facing surface is substantially adjacent to the dam feature. 
     
     
         17 . The toilet flange of  claim 10 , wherein the dam feature includes a raised edge. 
     
     
         18 . The toilet flange of  claim 10 , further comprising a channel fluidly connecting a respective chamber in the at least two chambers to the drain opening, the channel extending from the toilet-facing surface only partially into the body. 
     
     
         19 . A toilet flange comprising:
 a body having a toilet-facing surface and a drain-facing surface; and   a drain opening extending through the body, wherein at least a portion of the toilet-facing surface is slanted toward the drain opening.   
     
     
         20 . The toilet flange of  claim 19 , wherein the toilet-facing surface of the body includes a dam feature configured to prevent a fluid from escaping radially from a periphery of the toilet-facing surface. 
     
     
         21 . The toilet flange of  claim 19 , wherein the dam feature includes a raised edge. 
     
     
         22 . The toilet flange of  claim 19 , further comprising a plurality of mounting apertures, each mounting aperture extending through the body and configured to receive a fastener for attaching the body to a fixed surface. 
     
     
         23 . The toilet flange of  claim 22 , further comprising a retaining wall substantially surrounding a respective mounting aperture in the plurality of mounting apertures. 
     
     
         24 . The toilet flange of  claim 19 , further comprising at least two chambers extending from the toilet-facing surface only partially into the body, each chamber having a fastener passageway for receiving a portion of a fastener for coupling the body to a toilet base. 
     
     
         25 . The toilet flange of  claim 19 , wherein the body has a poly-sided perimeter shape. 
     
     
         26 . The toilet flange of  claim 19 , wherein a highest point of the toilet-facing surface is substantially adjacent to a dam feature configured to prevent a fluid from escaping radially from a periphery of the toilet-facing surface.
