ABSTRACT:
A flush mechanism for use with a toilet tank is disclosed. The mechanism permits selection between flushing cycles of two different time durations. The tank has a wall with an outlet therein and a valve member. The flush mechanism has a shaft linked at one end to the valve, a float slidably mounted on the shaft, and a cam pivotally connected to the shaft adjacent the float. The cam is rotatable between a short flush position wherein the float is allowed to assume a high position along the shaft and a long flush position wherein the cam member forces the float into a low position along the shaft.
