ABSTRACT:
The quantity of fluid utilized in flushing a conventional closet-type toilet bowl is reduced by a water saving device. The water saving device is adapted to be positioned within the trap of the toilet, and includes a supporting frame with a movable gate operatively connected therewith to open and close the fluid flow passage through the trap to the sewer access opening. After the toilet flushing operation is effected, the gate remains in a closed position until the level of fluid in the toilet bowl reaches a predetermined level, at which time the gate opens to allow the fluid to flow into the sewer access opening by a natural siphoning action. After the flow of fluid through the trap diminishes, the gate returns to a closed position. As a result, the needless flow of fluid from the toilet bowl prior to the time the natural siphoning occurs is eliminated and a water savings is effected.
