Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0722020A1] The equipment has an operating device to start a full or partial flushing process from a toilet cistern, by lifting a valve member (7) from an outlet fitting (1). The member may be lifted along with a weight (13), which acts on the member against the buoyancy of a float (8), in order to close the valve early. A coupling device is arranged between the weight and the member, and has a switching element (20) mounted in the lower region of the weight. When the member is lifted by a pulling element (26), the switching element, which may be a pawl (19), automatically connects with the member.
