ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for filling a toilet tank with water and discharging the water therefrom has a valve base for supplying water to the toilet tank. A valve is in a hollow passage of the valve base for closing the hollow passage to the supply of water when pulled vertically. An axle is connected at one end to the valve plug. An axle floater is on the opposite end of the axle for pulling the valve vertically when the toilet tank is full of water. A buoy base discharges water from the toilet tank. A discharge buoy closes the buoy base until pulled from the buoy base, and then floats on the water in the toilet tank back to the buoy base as the water is discharged. A pulling chain connects the discharge buoy to a command lever which is tiltable by a command handle on the outside of the toilet tank to pull the discharge buoy from the buoy base with the pulling chain. The command lever also engages the axle, to tilt the axle when the command lever is tilted, which opens the valve for supplying the water.
