Flush Valve Handle Assembly Providing Dual Mode Operation

Номер: US20120005816A1
Автор: John R. Wilson
Принадлежит: Sloan Valve Co

A dual mode flush valve includes a handle assembly having a handle, a bushing and a plunger. The bushing has a sleeve with a passage therethrough for mounting the plunger for sliding and tilting. The passage is defined by first and second partially overlapping bores that coincide at the inner end of the sleeve and are spaced one above the other at the outer end of the sleeve. The bores define a horizontal plunger travel axis and an angled plunger travel axis. Depending on which direction the user actuates the handle the plunger will travel along one of these axes. Travel along the angled axis will lower the plunger tip, allowing earlier clearance of a relief valve and a reduced flow through the flush valve compared to actuation with the plunger travel along the horizontal axis.

A water tank-less toilet flushing system includes a toilet bowl and a control system which includes a flush valve located higher than a top surface of the toilet bowl and a check valve operatively linked to the flush valve. When the flush valve is opened, the check valve is closed due to a water pressure for enabling the water to flush the toilet bowl. When the flush valve is closed, the check valve is opened for communicating an interior of the flush valve with an ambient atmosphere to prevent water in the toilet bowl to be backflow to the flush valve.
