ABSTRACT:
A dual capacity toilet flusher for controlling the release of water from a storage tank (25) into a bowl (23) and the refilling of the storage tank and the bowl after a flush. For liquid waste, the user gently presses the flush lever (24), thus rotates an arm (11) to raise a guide (13) and the flap valve (19) and locks a detent (64) in the guide against a locking arm (56). The open flap valve lowers the water level (36) and a float (15) connected to a cam assembly (67). After about 3.8 liters of water has drained out, a cam (39A) on the cam assembly rotates a spring loaded rocker assembly (68) to release the locking arm to allow the guide and flap valve to fall to stop water outflow. A feed tube then refills the tank while a bleed tube refills the bowl through the overflow pipe (16). Valves on the feed and bleed tubes allow manual flow rate adjustments. For solid wastes, the user quickly presses the flush lever. It thereupon quickly raises and locks the guide higher in a second detent (73) against a roller (69) on the rocker assembly. After about 19 liters of water has drained out, the float causes a cam (39B) to rotate the rocker assembly to release the guide and allow the flap valve to fall to stop water outflow. The feed tube refills the tank while the bleed tube refills the bowl. A tube positioner (14) controlled by the float moves the bleed tube away from the overflow pipe as soon as the bowl is fully refilled to prevent overfill.
