Abstract (en)
The invention relates to a flush mechanism (1) for a water closet, comprising a cistern (2) having a flush outlet (4), a movable flush valve (5) cooperating with said outlet (4), and operating means (6) connected to said flush valve (5) for moving said valve (5) from its closed to its open position, said operating means (6) comprising flexible operating member (18). This flexible operating member (18) allows the position of the operating means (6) with respect to the flush valve (5) to be freely chosen. The operating means (6) may comprise a push member (20) to be operated by a user, said flexible operating member (18) which may be a flexible push rod or cable, interconnecting said push member (20) and said flush valve. The flush mechanism (1) may further comprise means (12) e.g. a lever for converting a push force transmitted by said flexible push rod or cable (18) into a lifting force acting on said flush valve (5), said force converting means (12) being arranged near said flush valve (5). <IMAGE>
