Abstract
A toilet flushing water controlling device is used in conjunction with a reservoir and comprises a funnel part, forming a lower part of the reservoir and having a lower end with an outlet, a sealing ball for closing the outlet, placed in the reservoir, and a flushing device for displacing the sealing ball from the outlet so as to release flushing water from the reservoir. Thereby developing of germs is prevented flushing water is saved.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . A toilet flushing water controlling device, used in conjunction with a reservoir and comprising:
a funnel part, forming a lower part of the reservoir and having a lower end with an outlet; a sealing ball for closing the outlet, placed in the reservoir and having a density; and a flushing device for displacing said sealing ball from said outlet, so as to release flushing water from said reservoir.
2 . The toilet flushing water controlling device of claim 1 , wherein said density of said sealing ball is lower than density of water, so that said sealing ball, if completely submerged in water, will be displaced from said outlet.
3 . The toilet flushing water controlling device of claim 1 , wherein said sealing ball has a weight w and a volume, when half of said volume of said sealing ball emerges from water, is subject to a buoyancy b 1 which is smaller than said weight w.
4 . The toilet flushing water controlling device of claim 1 , wherein said flushing device is mounted on a top cover of said reservoir and comprises: a case of cylindrical shape, mounted on a lower side of said top cover and having an upper end with an outer thread; a positioning plate at a lower end of said outer thread, a lid with a central hole, set on a top side of said case; a pulling rod with a widened upper end, passing through said central hole; a helical spring, located inside said case and surrounding said pulling rod; a lower plate, attached to a lower end of said pulling rod and leaning against said helical spring from below; and a cord, connecting said lower end of said pulling rod and said sealing ball.
5 . The toilet flushing water controlling device of claim 1 , wherein said flushing device comprises: a T-tube, shaped like said letter T and having an upper tube segment which is connected with said outlet, a lower tube segment which is connected with said flushing tube and a horizontal tube segment; a lever, having a lever ball forming a middle section thereof, through which an axis of rotation of said lever passes, an outer end with a handle and an inner end, which is movable between positions close to said upper tube segment and said lower tube segment; a cover, screwed on an outer end of said horizontal tube segment and having a hole, through which said outer end of said lever passes; a sealing plate, sealing a gap between said lever ball and said cover; a pushing rod, which is vertically oriented and placed inside said upper tube segment, having a lower end with a mounting hole, through which said inner end of said lever passes; at least three positioning plates, through which said pushing rod passes and thereby is stably held, with water flowing between said positioning plates; and a helical spring, placed between said positioning plates and said outlet and pushing said lever towards a normal position.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
