# 1596: Sir John Harrington is said to have invented 'The Ajax', a flush toilet, for Elizabeth I of England. His design was ridiculed in England, but was adopted in France under the name Angrez. The design had a flush valve to let water out of the tank, and a wash-down design to empty the bowl.
# 1738: a valve-type flush toilet was invented by JF Brondel.
# 1775: Alexander Cummings invented the S-trap (British patent no. 814), still used today, that used standing water to seal the outlet of the bowl, preventing the escape of foul air from the sewer. His design had a sliding valve in the bowl outlet above the trap.
# 1777: Samuel Prosser invented and patented the 'plunger closet'.
# 1778: Joseph Bramah invented a hinged valve or 'crank valve' that sealed the bottom of the bowl, and a float valve system for the flush tank. His design was used mainly on boats.
# 1819: Albert Giblin received British patent 4990 for the "Silent Valveless Water Waste Preventer", a siphon discharge system.
# 1852: J. G. Jennings invented a wash-out design with a shallow pan emptying into an S-trap.
# 1857: the first American patent for a toilet, the 'plunger closet', was granted.
# 1860: The first watercloset was installed on the European continent and was imported from England. It has been installed in the rooms of Queen Victoria in castle Ehrenburg (Coburg, Germany) and she was the only one who was allowed to use it.
