Automatic Flush Toilet Tank Assembly
Abstract
An automatic flush toilet tank assembly is provided. The automatic flush toilet tank assembly includes a flotation assembly having a sealing device. The sealing device is adapted for releasably sealing a closure mechanism to prevent water flow through the closure mechanism. The device further includes a blocking mechanism releasably connected to at least a portion of the flotation assembly. The blocking mechanism has a first position for preventing buoyant displacement of the flotation assembly and a second position for allowing buoyant displacement of the flotation assembly. Buoyant displacement of the flotation assembly releases the sealing device and allows water flow through the closure mechanism. The assembly also allows the administration of anti-bacterial products without the need to come into contact with the potable water supply and contains an overflow mechanism in case the water supply cutoff to the toilet tank should fail.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . An automatic flush toilet tank assembly, the assembly comprising:
a flotation assembly including a sealing device adapted for releasably sealing a closure mechanism to prevent water flow through the closure mechanism; and a blocking mechanism releasably connected to at least a portion of the flotation assembly, the blocking mechanism having a first position for preventing buoyant displacement of the flotation assembly and a second position for allowing buoyant displacement of the flotation assembly, wherein buoyant displacement of the flotation assembly releases the sealing device and allows water flow through the closure mechanism.
2 . The automatic flush toilet tank assembly of claim 1 , wherein the flotation assembly further comprises a tube extending through a float and having a first end portion and a second end portion, the second end portion being connected to the sealing device.
3 . The automatic flush toilet tank assembly of claim 1 , wherein the closure mechanism includes an adjustable rubber piece for supporting the closure mechanism on the inside surface of the toilet tank and wherein an end of the closure mechanism protrudes on the outside of the toilet tank.
4 . The automatic flush toilet tank assembly of claim 2 , wherein the tube includes at least one hole for overflow.
5 . The automatic flush toilet tank assembly of claim 2 , wherein the tube further includes a supply tube extending therethrough for supplying a product directly into a toilet bowl.
6 . The automatic flush toilet tank assembly of claim 1 , further comprising a flushing mechanism operably connected to the blocking mechanism.
7 . The automatic flush toilet tank assembly of claim 6 , wherein the flushing mechanism includes at least one activation device selected from an infrared, manual, automatic or push button device.
8 . The automatic flush toilet tank assembly of claim 1 , wherein the blocking mechanism further comprises a motor that rotates a trigger operatively connected to the flotation assembly, wherein the flushing mechanism activates rotation of the motor.
9 . The automatic flush toilet tank assembly of claim 8 wherein a battery supplies the power to the motor.
10 . The automatic flush toilet tank assembly of claim 1 , wherein the blocking mechanism includes a magnetic core that is electromagnetically movable between the first position and the second position.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
