Abstract (en)

The invention relates to a device for flushing a water closet, comprising a valve for closing an outflow opening of a cistern of the water closet, a float connected to the valve, means to be selectively connected to the valve for weighting thereof, and means for operating the valve, which operating means are adapted to optionally lift only the valve or the valve in combination with the weighting means. The operating means comprise a first part acting directly on the valve and a second part acting on the weighting means, and the weighting means are movable under the influence of a second operating part between a rest position leaving the valve clear and a weighting position in which they load the valve. The weighting means can comprise a vessel which is open at the top and which is pivotable about a shaft situated at a distance from its centre of gravity. The invention further relates to a water closet, comprising a bowl and a cistern connected thereto via a flow tube, and incorporating such a flushing device.
