Abstract (en)
A toilet cistern flushing mechanism based on the principle of two inlets at two levels for flushing water. Each of the two inlets may be selected for either a full flush or a smaller flush by choosing to actuate one of two flushing handles, one for the full flush and the other for the smaller flush. A primary characteristic of the mechanism is an upright inner pipe communicating with the flush outlet having flush inlets at two levels and two concentric outer pipes slidable on the outside of the upright inner pipe, with seals at the lower ends of the two outer pipes; one or other of the outer pipes are lifted to provide either a full or a smaller flush. <IMAGE>
