  • Patent number: 8783289
    Abstract: A secondary toilet reservoir water shutoff system and method for use in the water tank of a toilet assembly. The secondary toilet reservoir water shutoff having a beneficial use with toilets to prevent the wasting of water in a failing system. The secondary toilet reservoir water shutoff being activated by a toilet flush handle causing rotation of a timing device thereby opening of a secondary valve for a period of time allowing for the passage of water, the time determined by the degree of rotation of the timing device.

  • Publication number: 20120012212
    Abstract: The invention is a system named FLO-NO-MO. FLO-NO-MO prevents waste of water associated with toilets which do not properly retain their supply water as is common when a flapper does not seal properly or another toilet component fails. This is accomplished by integrating a mechanical style water supply timer at the point of water supply entry in a toilet tank and interconnecting the mechanical style water supply timer to a custom-made flush handle. The water supply valve in a FLO-NO-MO system opens only upon the actuation of the toilet tank flush handle without respect to the water level in the tank. The water supply valve closes automatically after passage of time requisite to fill the tank regardless of whether the tank held the water.
