ABSTRACT:
Flush volume control devices for flush type toilets equipped with a valve which is opened to allow flush water to flow from the toilet into its bowl and then closed. The flush volume control engages a pivotably mounted, flapper valve bracket as the level of flush water in the toilet tank recedes upon the toilet being flushed and thereafter continues downwardly, displacing the valve to a closed position even though a considerable volume of water may remain in the tank. This provides a reduced volume flush of the toilet bowl. A vertically adjustable float component of the control allows the flush volume to be changed between wide limits at will. A full flush--i.e., one of substantially the entire contents of the tank--can be produced merely by holding the existing flush lever in its flushing position until the toilet tank has emptied.
