  • Patent number: 5806108
    Abstract: A universal replacement toilet tank (10) that incorporates within a toilet tank (12) a piston flush valve (40) that functions in combination with a ballcock (22), a water closet (30) and a pressure increasing riser (120). The valve (40) is designed to be easily adjusted to allow a selected volume of flush water to flow from the toilet tank (12) into the water closet (30). The pressure increasing riser (120) consists of a hollow pipe (122) and a decorative sleeve (140) that are positioned between the toilet tank (12) and the water closet (30). The riser allows the toilet tank (12) to be elevated above the water closet (30) to provide an increase in the pressure of the water that is used to flush the water closet (30). The invention also includes a threaded adapter (100) having upward internal threads (102) and downward external threads (104).

  • Patent number: 5711039
    Abstract: A dual power-flush toilet (20) which has a water closet (22), a water tank (24), a ball cock (26), and a first lever arm (28). A dual acting flush valve (30) is disposed within the tank and modified to incorporate an overflow opening (44), a refill elbow (46) and a beveled washer (32). A second tank lever arm (50) is installed into the tank and lifts the flush valves vertical tube (36) causing a partial flush of the water in the tank. The first tank lever arm is attached to the flush valves float assist arm (38) beneath the second lever arm lifting both the vertical tube and float assist (40) delaying the opening until a complete flush of the water from the tank is achieved. A pressure increasing riser (56) is added between the water closet and the water tank to boost the water pressure and more efficiently flush water from the tank into the water closet.
