Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1593787A1] A mechanism for a flushing device (40) for flushing a toilet, comprising at least one transfer means (41a, 41b) for transferring a force applied to the transfer means to an connecting member (44) for connecting the transfer means and an outlet valve. The flushing device comprises a longitudinal axis along which the connecting member is displaceable. The transfer means comprises a contact surface (42a, 42b) and a lifting means (43a, 43b) and is pivotally attached to the flushing device between the contact surface and the lifting means. The transfer means is arranged to transfer the force to the connecting member in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the flushing device when said force is applied to the contact surface in a direction outwardly from said longitudinal axis. <IMAGE>
