FLUSHING DEVICE FOR WATER CLOSETS.
Application filed February vThis invention relates to flushing devices for, water closets, and has for'its objecteto provide a'device of such class, in a manner as hereinafter set forth, which functions to automatically effect the flushing operation when the seat member is elevated.
Further objects of the invention are to provide a flushing device for the purpose set forth which is simpleiin its construction and arrangement, strong, durable and eflicient in its use, positive in its action, readily setup relative to the bowl, and comparatively inexpensive to manufacture.
With the foregoing, and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention consists of the novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter fully described andillustrated in the accompanying drawing,- wherein is shown an embodiment of the invention, but it is to be understood that changes, variations and modifications can be resorted to which come within the scope of the claims hereunto appended.
In the drawing wherein like reference characters denote corresponding parts throughout the several views Figure 1 is a side elevation of a water closet of the ordinary tank type showing the adaptation therewith of a flushing device in accordance with this invention.
Figure 2 is a similar view illustrating the device in connection with a flush valve type of water closet.
Figure 3 is an enlarged detail sectional view of the upper end of the actuating rod and associated parts.
Figure at is a modified form of the device shown in connection with a closet of the flush valve type.
Figure 5 is a fragmentary top plan View of the bowl and seat members illustrating their hinged connection.
Referring in detail to Figure 1 of the drawing 1 denotes the bowl of a water closet and 2 the seat member, the latter having its rear end hinged, as at 3, with the bowl.
A flush tank 4: of the usual construction and operation is positioned at the rear of the bowl 1 and is provided with a rearwardly extending flush handle 5, which is adapted to be depressedL to effect the flushing operation.
Fixed to the exterior of the tank 4 is a pair of brackets 6 and 7, the former being arranged above the latter and formed with a e, 1923. Serial No. 617,991..
vertical disposed adjustable stop 8 for the purpose to be described. An actuating rod 9 is mounted for vertical movement in the brackets 6 and 7, and otally connected, of the operating fixed to the rear has its lower end pivas at 10, to the rear end latch 13 is pivotally connected, as indicated at 15., so that when the latch 13 is hangingin the normal position its'longitudinal vertical edge will project laterally through the slot 12. As the lower end of the latch 13 is adapted to engage and operate the flush handle 5, the arrangement of hanging the latch 13 will permit of a vertical pull relatively to its point of connection 15 and its point of contact with the flush handle 5. A spring 13 mounted in upper end ofthe slot 12 and engages the latch 13 to normally maintain the latter in vertical alignment in the slot 12.
The upper end of the latch 13 is provided with a horizontally disposed arm 16 which is adapted to strike the stop 8 upon the downward movement of the rod 9 for the pur ose of disengaging the latch 13 from the ush handle 5 after the flushin operation. Upon the upward movement of the rod 9, by the depression of the seat member 2, the latch 13 will return to the normal position b gravity and the action of the spring 13, to again engage the flush handle 5 when the rod 9 is shifted downwardly by the elevation of the seat member 2.
The construction and operation of the device shown in Figure 2, of the drawings, is identical to that described relative to the tank type of closet above described, with the exception that it is used in connection with a flush valve 17 which carries the brackets 6 and 7. The vertical movement of the rod 9 will cause the latch 13 to actuate the plunger 18 to effect the flushing operation.
The device shown in Figure 4c, of the drawings, also illustrates the use of the device in connection with a flush valve 19, but in this construction the latch 13 does not engage the plunger 20 but a horizontally disposed bar 21 which is pivotally carried as at 22, at the upper end of the support 23 fixed to the valve 19. The outer end of the bar 21 is provided With a pivoted dependtended to effect the flushing operation. The
depression of the seat member '2 Will cause the automatic return of the lever 9 and 1atc'h18 to the operating position.
What I claimis:
1. A device for the purpose set forth comprising in combination with a flush device provided with a flush member adapted to be depressed and a closetseat having an elevating element and a rearwardly projectinglever fixed to said seatfa pair of brackets mounted on said device, an actuating rod 'slidably mounted for vertical movement in said brackets, and p'ivotally connectedto said' lever, the upper end of said rod heing slotted, a spring controlled latch pivotally mounted in said slot and adapted to operate said member when said Ted is shifted'tdownwvardly by' the elevating movemerit of said seat, said latch termed With an arm, an adjustable stop carried-by one ofsaid brackets and adapted to engage said arm to disengage said lat ch from said flush member; means for automatically returning said latch to the operative position When said "seat. is" depressed.
2. A device for the purpose set forth comprising incombination with a flush device" provided wium flush member adapted to be depressed a'nda closet s'e'a't having an elevatin element and a rearwardly projectin'g lever fixed to said seat,- a pair of brackets mountedon said device, an actuating rod slidably mounted for vertical movement in said brackets,- and pivotally connected to said leverftheup'per endof said rod being slotted, a spring controlledlatch p'ivotally mounted irisaid slot, asupport carried by said device, aba'r pivoted atthe upper end of said support, a weight Sli p'end'ed fromone end ofsaid bar, said latch ada te1t0=engage the other end o'fsaid bar to elevate the Weight to ca-use the latter to impart on" said flush 'member to effect the flushing operation when the said seat is elevated, and means toautomati'caHy return the said latch to the operative position When the said seat is depressed, substantially as described and for the purpose set forth.
