Abstract (en)

Interruptible flushing mechanism, with guaranteed minimum flush, of the type comprising: - a valve (3) which can move in axial translation and is intended to be applied on the edge (8) of the emptying orifice (C) provided in the bottom (7) of the water flushing tank; - a float (2) integral in axial translation with the said valve (3) and intended to keep the latter at a distance from its seat (8), during the flushing or water discharging process; - a control device with a push-button (17); - and a transmission and lifting system for the valve (22-23) actuated by the said push-button (17), characterised in that it includes a buoyancy chamber (12) fitted in the upper part of the mechanism and in which the said float (2) is housed, this buoyancy chamber (12) being complemented by means for rapid emptying comprising at least one member (26) controlled by the push-button, and at least one orifice (14) located in the bottom or near the bottom of the said chamber, these means being placed in the operating position when the push-button (17) is pushed and in the non-operating position when the latter is no longer pushed. <IMAGE>
