Abstract: A flush valve control apparatus for selectively closing, at the option of the operator, the flush valve of a flush toilet is disclosed. The apparatus includes a control member which is located such that it can selectively push against the flush valve which opens and closes the outlet pipe of a flush toilet. The control member which is normally in a non-control relationship with the flush valve is attached by a hinge to the standpipe such that it may be rotated downwardly until it contacts the top portion of the valve. A rod is pivotally attached to the control member at one end and slidably attached to a line at its second end. The link is attached to the handle of a trip lever, such as is normally found in conventional toilets. On forcing the trip lever downward by rotating the handle in a direction opposite to that for flushing, the link slides along the rod until it meets a stop.

Abstract: An accessory incorporated between a toilet tank and a toilet, the accessory including a float chamber, into which rising water from the toilet is accessible, so as to lift a float attached to an upwardly extending rod which extends into the toilet tank, so as to pivot a swivel arm against a drain valve ball, in order to move the ball into a close position over the tank drain, and thus stop additional water from flowing from the tank into the toilet.
