UNIVERSAL POSITIVE SHUT-OFF, METERED WATER CONTROL SYSTEM FOR USE WITH FLUSH TOILET TANKS

摘要

A device for metering the flow of water into the tank and bowl of any currently known tank toilet and providing a positive shutoff of the flow. When the toilet handle is turned, a linkage rotates a cam to force a stopper from its seat thereby commencing water flow. Water flows through a flow channel to be directed by a flow nozzle past a water wheel imparting a rotation thereto. The water wheel is gearably linked to the cam thereby rotating the cam. When the cam has rotated to position a cam repeat over the stopper stem, the stopper is reseated by the pressure of the water and water flow ceases. The distribution of flowing water between tank and bowl is controlled by altering the structure of a bowl fill assembly. The bowl fill assembly and a tank fill tube are attached to the outlet by a right angle manifold. The amount of water flow permitted is a function of the number of cam notches and flow nozzle size.
