ABSTRACT:
A tank flushing apparatus comprises the instant invention. The tank is a typical water tank used to flush toilets. The tank includes an opening at the bottom thereof which opening supplies water to the toilet bowl. The operation of the flushing of the tank, or put another way the emptying of the tank, is controlled by an assembly which includes a cage, a cylinder, a full flush stopper, and a half flush stopper. The cylinder is affixed to the full flush stopper and the cage is affixed to the full flush stopper. The half flush stopper sealingly engages the cylinder. The half flush stopper is movable within the cage and out of engagement with the cylinder. The full flush stopper sealingly engages the opening in the tank. The cage, the cylinder, and the full flush stopper are movable together away from the opening in the tank. When this occurs the tank is fully flushed. The tank is half flushed when the half flush stopper is moved away from the cylinder. A full flush handle operates a full flush lever which is connected to the cage by means of a chain. When the full flush lever is depressed, the cage, the stopper, and the cylinder are moved away from the opening in the tank and the tank is fully flushed. A half flush handle operates the half flush lever which in turn operates the half flush stopper which partially empties the tank.
