Abstract: A device for regulating the discharge of water from a storage tank associated with a toilet bowl for flushing of the toilet bowl, with the operation of the device being through slight pressure on a push button on a rod extending through a front or end wall of the storage tank. This device has a flapper assembly for opening and closing access to a drain from the storage tank, with this flapper assembly having a storage volume with an adjustable opening for controlled release of water therefrom to control the timing of the closure of the flapper assembly against the drain. A trigger assembly portion has a trigger arm with one end engaged with the push button and the other end adapted to engage a distal arm of a pivotal lever arm, this lever arm carrying a buoyant float. Release of the engagement of the distal ends of the trigger arm and the lever arm causes the lever arm to rise, due to the float, and the lever arm engages the flapper assembly to open the drain.

Abstract: The actuating device has a vertically displaceable trigger (9) which is mounted on a hood-shaped housing part (6a) of the drain valve (3). A lever (2), whose horizontal axis of rotation (5) is mounted on a float housing (6b), is pivoted with the trigger (9) in one or the other direction of rotation. To induce flushing, the trigger (9) is moved in the downward direction with a release knob (1) against the restoring force of a spring (24). The trigger (9) now engages a pivotable arm (9b), and the lever (2) is pivoted such that a valve tube (4) connected to the lever (2) is raised, and the valve opening (11i) is thus opened. If the release knob (1) is moved once again in the downward direction after a partial flushing, the trigger (9) will engage another pivot arm (2a), and the lever (2) will again be pivoted into the starting position, in which the outlet opening (11i) is closed.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for reducing water consumption in a toilet or other apparatus for human body waste disposal. Water contained in a primary water tank (10) and a secondary water tank (15) is selectively discharged into waste container (5) by means of primary tank control arm (30) and secondary tank control arm (25). Water is discharged from primary water tank (10) through primary valve (110) and from secondary water tank (15) through secondary valve (120). The discharge of water from each tank is selectively controlled by the user depending upon the type of waste to be disposed. For disposal of liquid waste only, water is discharged from primary water tank (10). For disposal of solid waste, water is discharged from primary water tank (10) and secondary water tank (15) at the same time. The apparatus and method can be used to retrofit a toilet or other apparatus for human body waste disposal.
