Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0913532A2] The device (8) comprises a closure element (31) for the valve (31, 32), carried by a first float (29, 33), a member (82) operable for a predetermined stroke to raise the first float (29, 33), and a second float (41) concentric with the first float (29, 33) and having an hydrostatic thrust greater than the weight of the first float (29, 33). The second float (41) is normally held against rising by a hook (59) for controlling the partial emptying of the cistern (5), and is released to slow down the return to rest of the first float (29, 33), acting on the member (82) with a greater stroke. The member (82) is mounted on a cup-like connector (81) fixed in a hole (87) in a cover (88) of the cistern (5), while the valve (31, 32) is fixed to a base wall (6) of the cistern (5). A flange (129), carried by a hollow body (114) coaxial with the valve (31, 32), is engaged by the member (82) coaxial with the connector (81) to compensate for misalignment between the hole (87) and the valve (31, 32). <IMAGE>
