ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to flush tank type toilets and is a device by which a long or short flush cycle may be selected by manipulation of the flush lever handle. The conventional flush uses the full contents of the flush tank and is selected when solid waste must be flushed through the toilet. The short flush uses a portion of the flush tank contents and is selected to conserve water when liquid waste is flushed. This device controls the lifting of the outlet stopper by providing float operated cam member (or members) acting on a rod link connected to the flush lever which lifts the stopper, holding the lever and stopper in the lifted position. When the water level in the tank drops below the float, the cam releases the rod link and the stopper will be force-seated into the discharge outlet of the tank by the water remaining in the tank.
