ABSTRACT:
A toilet bowl flush apparatus allowing either a total or partial flush from the tank of the apparatus. The tank of the device is fitted with a discharge outlet located on the bottom of the tank. The discharge outlet is closed by a floatable ball-cock of larger diameter than the outlet, with the ball-cock tied by a pull chain to a first valve lever. A vertical sleeve surrounds the discharge outlet and ball-cock and is tied by a pull chain to a second valve lever. The external valve handle is linked to the control handle shaft which actuates only the first valve lever when the control handle is rotated in a first direction and actuates both the second valve levers when the control handle is rotated in the second direction, opposed to the first direction. Actuation of the first valve lever serves to lift the ball-cock within the sleeve to permit the water in the tank to discharge only until the tank level reaches the level of the top of the sleeve, while actuation of the second valve lever serves to lift the sleeve and the ball-cock to permit the tank to fully discharge.
