ABSTRACT:
A toilet tank valve seat actuator assembly is provided. The assembly is adapted for engagement with a trip handle mechanism and operable to lift the tank ball from a valve seat upon activation, thereby initiating a flush sequence, and to guide the tank ball back onto the valve seat upon completion of the sequence. The assembly includes support means for mounting to the walls of the tank. The assembly further includes means secured to the support means for guiding the tank ball along a substantially vertical path of movement between an engaged position, wherein the tank ball is in liquid tight contact with the valve seat, and a disengaged position wherein the tank ball is not in contact with the valve seat. The assembly also has means operably coupled to the guide means and being engaged to the trip handle mechanism and to the tank ball for moving the tank ball between the engaged and disengaged positions in response to activation by the trip handle mechanism.
