ABSTRACT:
A dual-actuating flush device for selectively allowing a partial or a full quantity of water to be discharged from the toilet-water tank into the associated toilet bowl; wherein the tank includes independent partial and full flush valve mechanisms to provide conservation of water, each flush valve being arranged at a different water level within the tank, and operably connected to the dual-actuating device which comprises a handle that is operated only in a downward movement for both the partial and the full flush. For a partial flush, which operates the upper level valve, the handle is moved downwardly in a normal manner, with a limited stroke. To provide for a full flush, the handle is pushed inwardly and downwardly, allowing a selective pin to travel in a large elongated groove, thereby extending the downward stroke of the handle, and thus operating the second and lower disposed flush valve, allowing a larger quantity of water to be drained therefrom.
