US Patent 7934516 Toilet leak containment and detection system

This patent discloses a collection system to collect dripped leakage from a toilet discharge flow. The dripped leakage may be from a toilet sealed by a wax ring. The collection system may include a collector, a drain tube, and a catch bottle. The collector may consist of a funnel positioned vertically between a mounting flange and a kick-up. A spout may extend from the funnel at an acute angle to the mounting flange. A wastewater pipe may connect through a center of the kick-up so that a portion of the wastewater pipe resides within a funnel interior of the funnel and a remaining portion resides below the kick-up and outside of the funnel interior.
