ABSTRACT:
A unit for conserving water when flushing the toilet bowl, the unit comprising a vertical back strip from each end of which extends a collar adapted to be clamped about corresponding ends of the overflow pipe of toilet bowl flushing mechanism. To each collar is pivoted a forked end of a dual-forked hinge, and an opposite forked end of each hinge is pivoted to corresponding ends of a vertical bar overhanging the outlet valve of the tank. The bar is adapted to be carried up or down relative to the valve, accordingly as a connected weight floats with the level of water in the tank. In the use of the assembled unit, actuation of the flush handle raises the valve into abutment with the bar, and momentary release of the handle after actuation causes the weighted bar to float down with the level of escaping water to reseat the valve. A small amount of water empties from the tank with this action for a flush of liquid waste. The handle is held actuated to allow emptying of the tank for a flush of solid waste. Means is provided for automatically restraining the bar from reseating the valve until the tank is emptied for a flush of solid waste.
