Publication number: 20070192951Abstract: A flush toilet assembly includes a bowl assembly defining a bowl and a base supporting the bowl assembly. One of the bowl assembly and the base may include at least one male coupling element and the other of the bowl assembly and the base may include at least one cooperating female coupling element. A flush lever may be interconnected to the base for movement between a first position and a second position. The flush lever may include a cam surface. A water valve may be carried to the base and include a cam follower associated with the cam surface of the flush lever. The water valve may be moveable from a water valve closed position to a water valve open position through cooperative engagement of the cam surface and cam follower in response to movement of the flush lever from the first position to the second position. The base may integrally define a flush water path extending between an inlet port and an outlet port.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 14, 2007Publication date: August 23, 2007Inventors: Sheryar DURRANI, Greg EXNER, William COHOON
