  • Patent number: 8839466
    Abstract: An actuation device (1) for a discharge fitting of a flushing device that comprises a full flush lever (2) for initiating a full flush action, and a partial flush lever (3) for initiating a partial flush action. The full flush lever (2) can be moved from a neutral position to a full flush position, and the partial flush lever (3) can be moved from a neutral position into a partial flush position. The actuation device (1) has a motor (4), with an output element (5) that engages the full flush lever (2), or the partial flush lever (3), and provide a movement of the driven lever. The flush levers (2,3) are connected via a coupling element (6) such that the movement of the flush lever (2, 3) driven by the output element (5) can be transferred onto the other flush lever (3, 2) uncoupled from the output element (5).
