We investigate here the notion of a topological ring of quotients of a topological ring with respect to an arbitrary Gabriel (idempotent) filter of right ideals. We describe the topological ring of quotients first as a subring of the algebraic ring of quotients, and then show it is a topological bicommutator of a topological injective R-module. Unlike R. L. Johnson in [6] and F. Eckstein in [2] we do not always make the ring an open subring of its ring of quotients. This would exclude examples such as C(X), the ring of continuous real-valued functions on a compact space, and its ring of quotients as described in Fine, Gillman and Lambek [3].
