What was the name of the guy that invented the toilet?

Question

Please help i need this for research?

Answer 1

John Crapper "invented" the flushing toilet and plumbing system not the actual person who invented the toilet. I say "invented" because he merely redesigned the toilet. The Romans had Toilets with plumbing system in the b.c.'s. The earliest toilet ever found was discovered to be in the 5000 B.C. So the inventor of the toilet will never be known. Unless they make a machine to look back in time.

P.S.
quatt47 you need to get out some more

Answer 2

Why not do a general search using the Yahoo search engine (or google or any other search engine for that matter?) You'll get all kinds of things you can use.

Here's just a sample of what I got when I did one:

In 1596 an Englishman named Sir John Harington developed a flush toilet, or water closet, for Queen Elizabeth I. In 1775 an English watchmaker named Alexander Cummings improved the design; his toilet was the first to include a water trap in the exiting pipe that stopped odors from backing into the toilet room. By the late 1800s, new refinements by English plumber Thomas Crapper and others made the inner workings of the toilet similar to those in use today.

Answer 3

Sir John Harington and Alexander Cummings basically made the modern flush toilet. The Indus Valley Civilization of South Asia in what's now modern Pakistan supposedly originally invented the flush toilet.

Answer 4

Thomas J Crapper is generally agreed on as the man who invented the FLUSH toilet, but toilets have been about for longer than that

Answer 5

Thomas Crapper. I'm not kidding. It's where we get the terms "crapper" and "crap." These terms did not exist before the flush toilet was invented. The brand name was the "Crapper flush toilet." If you dig long enough, you will find out I am right.
