In 1775, Scottish inventor Alexander Cumming (sometimes spelled Cummings) filed the first flush-toilet patent. His design included an S-bend and a more sophisticated valve system, similar to those in today's toilets.
The first patent for the flushing toilet was issued to Alexander Cummings in 1775. 1777: Samuel Prosser invented and patented the 'plunger closet'. Joseph Bramah of Yorkshire patented the first practical water closet in England in 1778. During the 1800s, people realized that poor sanitary conditions caused diseases.
Seth Wheeler was credited with the invention and later assigned the rights to the patent to the Albany Perforated Wrapping Paper Company.
1775. Alexander Cumming, a Scottish watchmaker, and inventor became the first Englishman to patent design of the flush toilet. The design still survives today and was the forerunner of the modern toilet.
From Neolithic to modern times However, the honour of producing the first toilet goes either to the Scots (in a Neolithic settlement dating back to 3000 BC) or to the Greeks who constructed the Palace of Knossos (in 1700 BC) with large earthenware pans connected to a flushing water supply.
It was granted on September 15, 1891 as patent number US456516A, with credit again to Seth Wheeler, and rights again to the Albany Perforated Wrapping Paper Company. An immediate improvement filed by Seth Wheeler, which was granted on December 22, 1891, as patent number US465588A.
Seth Wheeler's 1891 patent shows the original placement of the toilet paper roll using an "over" approach. Not that you should ever blindly follow the crowd, but a whopping 70% of the population prefers the “over” position.
The toilet roll debate dates back to 1891 with Seth Wheeler's patent, which showed the roll hanging "over". This could be due to hygiene reasons (less contact with potentially germ-infested walls) or aesthetic preferences during the Victorian era.
