  • Patent number: 6035457
    Abstract: An improved hand-actuated toilet tank flush handle assembly with an essentially counterweighted flush actuator rod for use by a physically challenged person in flushing a bowl mounted water storage tank of a toilet assembly. The flush handle is substantially longer, broader in width and larger in hand pressable surface area than those features of a standard or traditional bowl mounted tank type flush handle to better facilitate its use by a person with a hand, arm or torso impairment or weakness. The counterweighted flush actuator rod insures a proper return to its original position and consistent operation. This invention is fully interchangeable with the traditional bowl mounted tank type flush handle.
