Abstract: A dual valve water discharge system is a system through which the user is able to select the volume of water used when flushing liquid waste and/or solid waste. The system features a drain flap with a flow through hole that restricts the flow of water entering a tank drain. The drain flap is covered by a flow rate control flap that is lifted to expose the flow through hole. The drain flap may be lifted as well, in turn lifting the flow rate control flap and allowing unrestricted flow into the tank drain. The flush volume is selected by lifting a flush handle upward or pressing the flush handle downward. The flush handle is connected to a flush lever which is in turn connected to a first cord and a second cord that are able to lift the drain flap and the flow rate control flap.

The operating device for the flush water tank assembly includes a drive unit including a rotary wind-up mechanism, a rotary direction changing mechanism for changing the direction of rotation transmitted from the rotating shaft to the rotational wind-up mechanism so that the transmitted direction of rotation can be maintain in accord with a predetermined and fixed direction of rotation, and a limiting mechanism for limiting an angle of rotation of the rotary wind-up mechanism.

Abstract: A dual flush device is disclosed to provide a full flush for removing solid waste and a water-saving partial flush for removing liquid or light solid waste in a toilet. It includes a first flush handle attached to a shaft to raise a lever to open a flapper valve, and a second flush handle that overlaps the first handle and opens the flapper valve through the first handle. A float assembly is disclosed to be used either with the dual flush device or with the original single flush lever assembly to prematurely close an opened flapper valve and reduce water consumption. Using the original flapper valve in a conventional toilet tank, a dual flush function is achieved by any of the three implementation choices: (1) the dual flush device alone; (2) the dual flush device and a float assembly; and (3) a float assembly alone.

The actuator mechanism consists of a trip lever pivotally mounted to the toilet tank and having a free end over which a boot member is telescopically and captively held. First and second resilient guide members extend laterally from the boot member adjacent the free end, and are parallel, coplanar, and separated by a fixed distance. A linkage member is captively carried in fixed relationship with the upper end of the flush valve and has an open void region through which the free end extends.

Abstract: A pivoting cup is mounted on the flap valve of a toilet. Two flexible actuating elements control the position of the cup. The amount of water used for a flush depends on the orientation of the cup. If the cup is selectively oriented to hold water, a partial level flush can be achieved.

Abstract: A flush mechanism for toilets comprises a water supply control device and a water escape control device independently disposed in a flush tank. The mechanism is actuated to flush by raising a plunger to lift a piston of the water escape position from its normally closed position to its open position allowing water flow from the tank to a toilet bowl associated therewith and maintain that position by vacuum suction.

Abstract: The mechanism comprises an inlet valve assembly which admits water into a toilet tank under the control of a valve plug mounted on the end of a vertical axle having a float on its upper end. The valve plug is unseated, to admit water, when the axle is tilted, and the plug is pulled into seated position by the float when the tank is filled. A drainage buoy, in cooperation with a buoy base, allows discharge of water from the tank when the buoy is pulled from the base. Pull chains are used, from a toilet handle, to tilt the axle and pull the buoy. The inlet valve includes a water pressure reducer, and a non-return valve assembly to prevent return of water to the water supply in the event of a loss of water supply pressure.

Abstract: A semi-flush valve mechanism in a toilet tank is provided with a two way flush operating handle. If the handle is pressed downward the toilet tank is flushed fully in the conventional way. If the handle is pressed upwardly the toilet tank is only half emptied in a semi-flush. A pivotally extended vane on a tilted valve assembly will receive a water stream from a refill tube to sooner help restore the toilet tank valve assembly to its closed upright position causing the semi-flush.

Abstract: A universal shut-off device for stopping the flow of water from a toilet tank to a toilet bowl during the flushing of the toilet. The device is mountable on toilet tanks having a handle on either the right-hand side or the left hand-side of the tank. The device has a stop handle accessible from the exterior of the toilet tank. If the plumbing is partially or completely plugged up and the toilet bowl begins to overflow during flushing, the flow of water into the bowl can immediately be shut off during the flushing operation. This is carried out by turning a stop handle which causes the tank ball to move against the valve seat and stop the flow of water from the toilet tank to the toilet bowl. A bendable and ductile operator arm is shaped by the user to push against the tank ball.

Abstract: A flush valve for use with a toilet tank assembly having a flush outlet surrounded by a valve seat, an overflow pipe, and a lift arm movable to initiate flow through the valve seat includes a one piece integral body of molded plastic material. The valve body includes a float fabricated on one end that is aligned with the valve seat to control flow therethrough. An integral beam is fabricated at another end of the body. The float and beam are interconnected by planar portions of the body. A mounting collar is also integrally formed on another planar portion of the body extending from the beam to the collar. The collar may be mounted on the overflow pipe to secure the valve to the toilet tank assembly. An elongated lift strap integrally fabricated with the body extends from the float member and includes a tooth structure for attachment to the lift arm.
