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, wherein the drain-facing surface is of substantially planar orientation and configured to be adhered to a fixed surface, and wherein the body further includes a drain pipe-facing surface configured to be adhered to a drain pipe.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A toilet flange comprising:
 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,   wherein the drain-facing surface is of substantially planar orientation and configured to be adhered to a fixed surface, and   wherein the body further includes a drain pipe-facing surface configured to be adhered to a drain pipe.   
     
     
         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 . The toilet flange of  claim 1 , further comprising a conduit fluidly connecting a respective chamber in the at least two chambers to the drain opening. 
     
     
         11 . The toilet flange of  claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of sealed mounting apertures extending through the body and configured to receive a fastener for attaching the body to a fixed surface, the sealing mounting apertures being sealed at the drain-facing surface via a polymer layer. 
     
     
         12 . 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,   wherein the drain-facing surface is of substantially planar orientation and configured to be adhered to a fixed surface, and   wherein the body further includes a drain pipe-facing surface configured to be adhered to a drain pipe.   
     
     
         13 . The toilet flange of  claim 12 , 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. 
     
     
         14 . The toilet flange of  claim 12 , wherein the body has a poly-sided perimeter shape. 
     
     
         15 . The toilet flange of  claim 12 , 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. 
     
     
         16 . The toilet flange of  claim 15 , further comprising a retaining wall substantially surrounding a respective mounting aperture in the plurality of mounting apertures. 
     
     
         17 . The toilet flange of  claim 12 , wherein the toilet-facing surface includes at least a portion slanted toward the drain opening. 
     
     
         18 . The toilet flange of  claim 13 , 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 . The toilet flange of  claim 13 , further comprising a conduit fluidly connecting a respective chamber in the at least two chambers to the drain opening. 
     
     
         20 . The toilet flange of  claim 12 , further comprising a plurality of sealed mounting apertures extending through the body and configured to receive a fastener for attaching the body to a fixed surface, the sealing mounting apertures being sealed at the drain-facing surface via a polymer layer.
