A trip lever assembly for a toilet includes a body and an infrared sensor. The body is configured to be mechanically coupled to a flush valve assembly of the toilet. The infrared sensor is coupled to the body, and is configured to be electrically coupled to the flush valve assembly. The body is configured to be manually actuated to control the flush valve assembly. The infrared sensor is a time-of-flight sensor configured to detect the distance of an object in a detection region of the infrared sensor to control the flush valve assembly.

A siphonic flush toilet system and method of priming the same having a toilet bowl assembly comprising at least one jet flush valve assembly and at least one rim valve; and bowl having a rim and a jet defining at least one jet channel. The bowl has a closed jet pathway to maintain the jet channel in a primed state with fluid from the jet flush valve assembly to prevent air from entering the closed jet pathway. Flush valves may have back-flow preventer mechanisms and/or at least partly flexible valve covers, including specific valve cover structures. Flush activation assemblies may have a flush activation bar connected to the pivot rod and/or an adjustable flush connector located between the pivot rod and the flush activation bar. A kit providing one or more flush activation elements is included. The kit elements may be usable with the toilet systems and methods described.

A universal canister flush valve having a valve body configured to he fixed relative to a toilet tank and having a hollow wall defining an internal flow passage; a guide post coupled to and extending away from the valve body; a float fitted about and configured to slide relative to the guide post between a closed position and an open position, the float having an open top; and an extender that selectively couples to the open top in a first position, in which a first end of the extender is received in and coupled to the open top, and in a second position, in which a second end of the extender is received in and coupled to the open top, wherein the extender and float define a first overflow height in the first position and define a second overflow height in the second position.

A modular poppet assembly system for a toilet tank flush valve assembly, the modular system comprising a first float portion; and two or more second float portions; wherein, the first float portion is configured to removably attach to each of the two or more second float portions to form two or more poppet assemblies, each of the two or more poppet assemblies comprise a different buoyancy, each of the two or more poppet assemblies allow the toilet tank to fill to substantially a same water volume, and as the poppet assembly buoyancy increases, an increase in flush volume is provided.

The invention relates to a cistern, in particular an in-wall cistern, for a toilet or urinal, with a drain valve which has a closure body which can be lifted from a closed position into a flushing position. The closure body is designed as an overflow pipe and has a seal which rests tightly on a valve seat in the closed position, with at least one water intake line, with a valve assembly for letting in drinking water present in the water intake line, with a water discharge line for discharging the drinking water let in by the valve assembly, and with a controller which generates a control signal for actuating the valve assembly as a function of a sensor signal and/or when a predefined time interval has been exceeded since the last withdrawal of drinking water from a cold water or hot water line connected to the water intake line. The valve assembly lets in water from the water intake line as a function of the control signal. According to the invention, the water discharge line is designed in such manner that it discharges the drinking water let in by the valve assembly directly into the overflow pipe. The cistern according to the invention makes it easier to maintain the drinking water hygienic, offers the possibility of carrying out required hygienic flushes with relatively low water consumption and enables a hygienic flushing independent of the flushing water level.

A toilet assembly comprising a toilet tank; a flush valve assembly positioned in the tank; a bowl; and a trapway, wherein the flush valve assembly comprises a flush valve body extending from a flush valve inlet to a flush valve outlet; a canister having a seal positioned at a lower end and a closed upper end; and a conduit positioned in an interior of the canister, wherein the seal is configured to enclose the flush valve inlet, the canister is configured to lift from the flush valve inlet to open the valve to initiate a flush cycle, the canister comprises one or more openings configured to provide flow communication between the canister and the tank, and the conduit is coupled to the trapway and provides for flow communication between the canister and the trapway.

The present invention is a flush water tank device including a flush water tank main body, a water supply valve, and a discharge valve, in which during a flush of the flush toilet, the discharge valve is opened until a water level in the flush water tank main body is lowered from a predetermined full water level to a predetermined dead water level, a lowering speed of the water level in the flush water tank main body changes at a predetermined inflection water level between the full water level and the dead water level, and the lowering speed of the water level between the inflection water level and the dead water level is faster than the lowering speed of the water level between the full water level and the inflection water level.
