  • Patent number: 5671486
    Abstract: A toilet tank cover comprises two decorative figures. Discharge from the vent orifice of a cup type float valve flows up through the primary figure and out an exterior orifice to the secondary figure. The primary figure receives water discharge from the discharge vent of a cup type float valve. The discharge then flows through the primary figure to an emission point. At the emission point, the fluid is directed toward an opening in the second figure. The discharge flows through the secondary figure and drains directly into the waste standpipe of the toilet. The operation of the flush mechanism of the toilet is thereby monitored in an aesthetically pleasing fashion.
