Benefits of technology

"The toilet water saver is designed to use less water when flushing waste. It includes a tank and a valve system with different heights for different types of waste. This allows for efficient use of water and reduces the amount of water needed for flushing."

Problems solved by technology

Water consumption, potable or otherwise, can be costly to consumers, depending upon demand and the available water supply in the locality.
Modern toilets consume much of the available water, but they are very inefficient because the same amount of available water in the toilet tank is employed to flush both liquid and solid wastes.

Embodiment Construction

[0010]The present invention relates to a toilet water saver that may include a tank and flushing assembly that efficiently uses the available water in the tank by allowing the user to selectively flush predetermined amounts of water, depending on the particular waste material or load. As shown in the sole drawing FIGURE, the toilet water saver 10 may include a tank body 2 adapted to hold a set volume of water. The water required to fill the tank is supplied through an inflow tube 4 attached to an inlet pipe 6. A float 11, which is pivotally connected to a ballcock assembly via a float arm 12, controls the level 8 of water in the tank 2. As the tank 2 fills, the float 11 rises and gradually closes the ballcock assembly as the float 11 reaches a predetermined level 8 of water.

[0011]The flushing valve assembly includes an elongated overflow tube 22 connected to a flush valve body 40. The flush valve body 40 includes a substantially elongated pipe 28 having a first flapper valve seat 41...

Abstract

The toilet water saver includes a toilet tank and flushing valve assembly that efficiently uses the water in the tank for the particular waste being flushed. The flushing valve assembly has two flapper valves, one flapper valve disposed vertically higher than the other, and an actuator that operates one valve singly or both flapper valves simultaneously at the user's option. The disposition of the valves with respect to the maximum tank capacity level defines respective first and second volumes of water to be used. The higher disposed flapper valve is operated to drain a smaller volume of water for the common liquid wastes while the lower disposed flapper valve is operated to drain a much greater volume for solid waste.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to toilet tanks, and particularly to a toilet water saver that economizes on the use of water when flushing a toilet tank.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]Water consumption, potable or otherwise, can be costly to consumers, depending upon demand and the available water supply in the locality. In many metropolitan areas, wastewater is recycled, and the costs are passed to the consumer. In some areas of the world, water is a premium commodity because of geography, availability, economy, and / or weather conditions. Modern toilets consume much of the available water, but they are very inefficient because the same amount of available water in the toilet tank is employed to flush both liquid and solid wastes.[0005]Thus, a toilet water saver solving the aforementioned problems is desired.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0006]The toilet water saver includes a compact tank and a flushing valve sy...
