ABSTRACT:
A protruding lever is releasably attached to a conventional flush-tank pivoted flush handle, extending toward a locus of the user's convenient arm flexure. The user is thereby enabled to actuate the flush lever without contortion from conventional seated position. The invention swings away from the user when inadvertently contacted, while retaining rigidity in the direction of flush actuation. An elbow-conformal recess facilitates confortable actuation by the user's elbow. The invention is releasably clamped to and wholly supported by the conventional flush handle.
