Toilet controls

摘要

Controls for use in association with the main tank of a toilet include a container which is disposed in the main tank and holds a body of water. A float is movable in the container to expel water from the container and effect operation of an inlet valve from a closed condition to an open condition. Water flows into an inlet compartment and into the main tank when the inlet valve is in the open condition. Water flows into an outlet compartment after a predetermined quantity of water has accumulated in the inlet compartment. Water flows from the outlet compartment into the container.
