  • Patent number: 5819330
    Abstract: A toilet enhancement which utilizes a flush handle having push-button settings for light and heavy flushes, the heavy setting fully raising the flush lever in the toilet tank, the lever in turn fully raising the flap valve at the bottom of the tank and allowing all of the water to flow out into the bowl of the toilet, the light flush setting shifting a cam connected to the flush handle so that the handle rotates slightly before coming into contact with the flush lever, thereby raising the lever and the flap valve to positions which are lower than their fully raised positions, the flap valve being connected to a timing gear mechanism which controls the rate at which the valve returns to its seated position, so that the flap valve closes from its partially raised position in an amount of time which allows approximately half of the water in the tank to flow out to the bowl.
