ABSTRACT:
A device for controlling different amounts of flushing water out of a toilet tank includes a casing having a through-hole defined therein and a pair of channels formed on both sides thereof; a shaft rotatably arranged in the casing with the front end extending out through the through-hole, the shaft being spring-loaded to define a rotationally initial position and so as to urge itself to return to the initial position after rotation; a disk secured to the shaft and having a pair of posts spaced apart at a predetermined angular distance; a reel having a peripheral recess for receiving a string, the string being fixedly attached to the reel; a pair of trigger members pivotally connected to the casing, each trigger member being pivotal to a first position in which one of the posts is retained by the trigger member after the shaft is rotated away from the initial position through a respective angle, and to a second position in which the post is released to return to the initial position; a pair of poles movable through the channels in the casing and having respective floats attached to lower ends thereof. The poles are connected to the trigger members so that each of the trigger members is maintained in the first position when water in the toilet tank is full but pivots away from the first position to the second position when the float thereof goes downward with the water level within the toilet tank.
