ABSTRACT:
A toilet tank flushing mechanism is disclosed. The toilet tank flushing mechanism comprises a ballcock mounted within the toilet tank for selectively permitting water from an external source to enter the tank. The ballcock includes a mounting plate securely connected thereto, which mounting plate has a primary float arm pivotally mounted thereto for movement between a raised shut-off position and a lowered flushing position, a holding member pivotally mounted thereto for movement between a holding position whereat the primary float arm is held in its raised shut-off position and a tilted release position whereat the primary float arm is released so as to be permitted to move to its lowered flushing position, a trigger member slidably mounted thereon for movement between a set position whereat the holding member is retained in its holding position and a freeing position whereat the holding member is suddenly freed so as to permit it to move to its tilted release position, and a substantially rigid water level tracking float arm pivotally mounted thereon for movement between a raised neutral position whereat the trigger member is held in the set position and a lowered trip position whereat the trigger member is caused to move to its releasing position.
