ABSTRACT:
A dual water-level toilet flushing apparatus (10) that allows a toilet user to easily and quickly select either a partial or a full toilet flush. The partial flush which is normally preset is recommended for flushing liquid waste while the full flush is recommended for flushing solid waste. The apparatus (10) which is easily installed and requires no modification to the toilet water tank (60) consists of three major elements: an overflow tube sleeve (12) that attaches to an overflow tube (64) and that has swivelly attached the back end of a floating inverted pendulum (20). The front of the pendulum is attached, via a pendulum/flapper valve link (24), to the front of a toilet flapper valve (30) having its back swivelly attached to the bottom of the overflow tube (64). To effect a partial flush, the toilet flush handle (68) is depressed and immediately released; to effect a full flush the handle (60) is depressed and held for a few seconds.
