Method and apparatus for controlling a waste outlet of a toilet

An apparatus for controlling a waste outlet of a toilet includes a flush handle that is rotated by a user. A valve pinion arm is coupled to the flush handle and a waste discharge valve disposed at the waste outlet of the toilet is coupled to the valve pinion arm at an opposite end. The rotation of the flush handle is configured to move the valve pinion arm in a first direction. The movement of the valve pinion arm is configured to move the waste discharge valve to an open position. Upon release of the flush handle, the valve pinion arm is configured to move in a second direction and to move the waste discharge valve to a closed position. According to an embodiment, the apparatus includes an actuated flush control mechanism and a manual flush control mechanism.

Semi-hidden toilet water flushing handle system
11952766 · 2024-04-09 ·

A semi-hidden system for the water flushing handle of toilets that forces the user to lower the lid or lid and seat before activating the flushing of the cistern. The flushing handle is embedded in the front wall of the cistern in such a way that a portion of the handle is covered by the lid of the toilet when the lid is raised, forcing users to close the lid in order to be able to flush, and thus substantially reducing the emission of infectious and polluting bioaerosols. The system aims to contribute to preventive medicine and to improve health worldwide by avoiding contagion of diseases. The toilet lid and seat, which combine with the semi-hidden flushing system, complement the innovative system with fast soft-closing hinges. This invention can be used in public restrooms, homes, hospitals, hotels, schools, and other environments where sanitation is a high priority.

Extender for toilet flush activator
10385558 · 2019-08-20 ·

An extender for a push-button and/or motion sensor toilet flush actuator, has a fulcrum member for mounting on a rim of a tank of the toilet and a sleeve for slidably receiving a rigid extension rod, which has an angular bend between the first rod end and the second rod end. An extender head is connected to one end of the rigid extension rod is adapted to engage the flush actuator. A lever arm is connected to the other end of the rigid extension rod for operation of the extender by a user's upper extremity, so that when the user applies pressure to the second lever end of the lever arm, the rigid extension rod moves to allow the extender head to engage the flush actuator.
