A self-contained electric flushing toilet bowl in which water for flushing the bowl is automatically controlled by unique control mechanism to perform a series of cyclic operations in which the supply water to the bowl and outlet flow from the bowl will be so coordinated as to impound a volume of water in the bowl at a raised water level for use in flushing and cleaning the bowl, the control mechanism being housed in an accessible rear compartment of the bowl structure. Outlet flow from the bowl is controlled by means of a valve structure embodied in a line trap of elastomeric material connected to the bowl outlet.

In an electric flushing toilet bowl having a top rim opening and a bottom outlet connection with a drain line trap, the improvement comprising: a. means for admitting a flushing fluid to the bowl adjacent the top rim opening, said means having a connection with a fluid source; b. normally closed first valve means for controlling said fluid source connection; c. normally open second valve means for controlling the outlet connection of said bowl; d. manually operable switching means for initiating a flushing operation; and e. means for controlling actuation of said first and second valve means, including electric timing means having an energizing circuit controlled by said switching means and being energizable in response to the operation of said switching means, for effecting a cycle of sequential operations as follows: 1. to open said first valve means and close the second valve means so as to provide a raised fluid level in said bowl, 2. to open said second valve means in response to the raised fluid level in said bowl so as to utilize the fluid at the raised fluid level in the bowl for flushing the bowl, and 3. after a time interval close the first valve means.
