ABSTRACT:
A toilet-flushing (1) device comprises a container (2) divided by an elastic diaphragm (3) with a direct unrestricted connection to a water supply under pressure at the lower part of the container (2), with a flushing valve (15) also in the lower part of the container. The water distends the diaphragm (3) so that when the flushing valve (15) is opened, the diaphragm (3) ejects the flushing water fast, allowing a small volume flush to effectively clear the toilet trap (2) and sewer. Extension of the diaphragm can be reduced by having two diaphragms (55), (56), each providing half the flush volume by their extension. Substantial water saving is enabled. A water pressure actuated valve (35) that is well adapted for application to this device is disclosed.
