Dual flush adapter - for toilet valve

Abstract

The present invention is a flush valve adapter that will provide a dual flush. This is installed within a new or existing flush tank. The discharge opening is in communication with the flush tank outlet and the inlet opening of the toilet bowl. Separate operator handles are provided for the flush valve adapter so that the appropriate flush handle can be selectively used to dispose of waste material. The present invention can be used in two circumstances: 1. As shown in FIG. 2 used in conjunction with the existing flush valve. 2. Use with new tank construction and eliminate FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 by adding a second handle hole in the tank wall. Standard commercial handles and levers can be used.

1 . This invention to be used with existing and new flush tanks that have a water supply and a Float shut-off valve.  
   
   
       2 . Float  3  moves with water flow and locks in the up position by  9  so full flush can be obtained.  
   
   
       3 . Partial flush is activated by handle  15  and lever  24  to release float  3  which is held in the up position by  9  which is chained to  12  and lever  24 .  
   
   
       4 . Float is adjustable by threads in  1  &  2 .  
   
   
       5 . I claim that the basis of this invention is to provide an inexpensive device that will save both water and money.  
   
   
       6 . I claim that there is no need to disconnect any plumbing.  
   
   
       7 . This invention can be adjusted to determined amount of water to be flushed  
     Note:  
     The partial flush valve adapter ( claim 3)  will be used 80 to 85 percent of the flushings (estimated).
