Figure 19 is a plan view illustrating the form of the invention as shown by Figures 17 and 18. Referring to the drawings in detail, in the preferred form of the invention, the tank is indicated by the reference character 5, the reference character 6, designating the usual overflow pipe of the flush tank.
The reference character designates the inlet pipe which is supplied with the usual valve mechanism not shown, the valve being actuated by means ofthe levers 8 that in turn are controlled bythe action of the float rod 8 moved upwardly tank, during the entire flushing operation, and
which results in an appreciable loss of water, due to the Water passing from the flush tank and bowlassociated therewith, during the time when the water is passing from the flush tank in the usual manner.
i In the present invention I have provided a flexible pipe section II which is secured to the pipe ill in any suitable manner, the discharge end "of the flexible pipe section being under normal conditions, directed downwardly to discharge Water directly into the upper end of the overflow pipe 6, as clearly shown by Figure 1 of the drawings. V
Pivotally mounted on the split band 52 which is mounted adjacent to the upper end of the overflow pipe 6, is an operating arm l3 that has its curved end l4 connected with the flexible pipe section Ii, at 15. A spring indicated at it has connection'with the flexible pipe section H and gers being curved laterally so that they will be guided over the float rod 9, insuring the true operation of the operating lever at all times.
Pivotally mounted on the split band I2 is a spoon-shaped deflector plate l9, the pivotal connection between the deflector plate [9 and split band I 2, being near one end of the deflector plate, to cause the deflector plate to normally swing to a position as shown in full lines in Figure 4 of the drawings, but permit the deflector plate to swing upwardly to a position as shown in dotted lines in Figure 4 of the drawings, to deflect the water into the flush tank proper.
Associated with the deflector plate is a latch member indicated at 24, the latch member being pivotally connected to the laterally extended lug 25, by means of the pin 23 which is shown as extended through an elongated opening formed in the latch member, the elongated opening being disposed at an oblique angle with respect to the edges of the latch member.
Due to the mounting of the latch member, it will be seen that when the deflector plate has been moved to its dotted line position, the latch member will hook over the flange 21 formed on the deflector plate l9, and hold the deflector plate in its dotted line position. It follows that as the operating arm l3 moves upwardly, the operating arm will move the latch member causing the latch member to disengage the flange 21, releasing the deflector plate allowing the deflector plate to swing to the position shown in full lines in Figure 4 of the drawings. This movement of the deflector plate occurs when the tank is substantially full, with the result that the water passing through the pipe l0 will be directed against the deflector plate which in turn directs the water through the overflow pipe and into the bowl used with the flush tank, providing a liquid seal. In the modified form of the invention shown by Figure '7 of the drawings, the float rod is indicated by the reference character 28, and operates adjacent to the overflow pipe 29.
The operating arm indicated at 30 is pivotally connected to the split band 3| which is clamped around the overflow pipe 29. One end of the operating arm 30 is formed with an opening through which one end of the rod 32 extends, the opposite end of the rod 32 being connected to the split band 33 which is positioned on the flexible pipe section 34. Extending into the flexible pipe section 34 is a member 35 which is substantially trough-shaped, as clearly shown by Figure 13 of the drawings, there being provided a rigid extension 36 extending from the member 35, to direct water passing through the member 35, to the overflow pipe 29.
Spaced fingers 31' are formed on one end of the operating arm 30, and straddle the float rod 28, so that as the float rod moves vertically, a relative movement of the flexible pipe section 34 will be insured. Due to this con- 2,1ss,e77 I struction, it will be seen that when the float carried at the free end of the rod 28, has moved to the limit of its upward movement, the flexible pipe section 34 will be moved to a position as shown by Figure 7 of the drawings, directly over the upper end of the overflow pipe 29. As the float moves downwardly following the level of the water as it is discharging from the tank, it will be seen that the flexible pipe section 34 will move upwardly to cause the water discharging from the end thereof, to be directed past the open end of the overflow pipe 29, and directly into the flush tank.
As the water level rises, the flexible pipe member will gradually move to a position directly over the overflow pipe. It will of course be understood that the latter movement of the flexible pipe section is so timed that water will be discharged into the overflow pipe, only at a time when the tank has been practically fllled. This of course will supply the necessary quantity of water to insure a water seal within the bowl used in conjunction with the flush tank. In this form of the invention a weight indicated by the reference character 38 is secured to the operating arm 33 near the outer end thereof, to urge the arm 30 to its normal or horizontal position.
As shown by Sheet 4 of the drawings, I have provided movable pipe sections as connected with the pipe of a flush tank used for directing a quantity of water to the overflow pipe thereof, and in the forms of the invention shown by Sheet 4 of the drawings, I provide a weight 39 as connected with the flexible pipe section 40, the weight acting to normally hold the pipe section 40 in such a way that the water discharging therefrom will be directed into the overflow pipe, to supply the necessary water for a water seal in the bowl used with the flush tank. The weight in this form of the invention is of a predetermined character, and is sumciently heavy to cause the pipe 40 to bend as shown by Figure 14. When the water is directed to the pipe, the pressure is such as to cause the pipe section 40 to straighten as shown in dotted line in Figure 14, to the end that the water discharging through the pipe section 40 will be directed past the upper or open end of the overflow pipe, which in the present showing is indicated by the reference character 4|. It is obvious that as the water pressure is reduced, due to the flush tank becoming filled, the weight 39 will overcome the water pressure, allowing the pipe section 40 to bend to a position as shown in full lines in Figure 14.
In Figure 15 of the drawings, I have employed a flexible pipe section 42 secured to the end of the pipe supplying water to the overflow pipe of a flush tank, the end of the pipe section 42 being reduced as at 43 to cause the water passing through the pipe section 42 to be formed into a substantially small stream.
In Figure 16 of the drawings, I have illustrated rigid pipe sections 44 and 45 which are connected by a flexible tubing 46 so that the pipe section 45 will move under the action of the weight 41, to cause the water flowing therethrough, to be directed into the upper end of the overflow pipe 48. When the water pressure passing through the pipe 44 is at its height, as at the time when the tank is beginning to fill, the water pressure will cause the pipe section 45 to straighten to a degree, to cause the water passing therefrom to be directed into the flush tank, beyond the upper end of the overflow pipe 48.
In Figure 17, I have illustrated a movable pipe section 49 which directs water into the tray 50 which is secured to the upper end of the overflow pipe by means of the splitband 52, which is shown as clamping the flange 53 of the tray 50.
As shown by Figure 18, the tray which is indicated at 54 is provided with spaced flanges 55 which permit the tray to be readily positioned over the upper edge of the overflow pipe with which it is used.
From the foregoing it will be seen that due to the construction shown and described, the water which ordinarily is wasted through the overflow pipe during the emptying of the flush tank, is directed to the tank proper, and that.
when the tank is practically filled, the reduced pressure of the Water passing through the pipe which feeds the overflow pipe, will allow the movable pipe section to swing downwardly, directing a volume of water to the overflow, to supply the necessary water to provide a water seal in the bowl used with the flush tank.
