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.

Toilet flushing apparatus locking nut system
A Toilet Flushing Apparatus Locking Nut System characterized by affixing a rigid rod to a securing nut that contains multiple rod receiving holes. The locking nut system maintains a secured position by means of resistance created when the rod contacts the toilet flushing apparatus's lifting arm, preventing rotational movement of the securing nut to less than 360 degrees. Multiple rod receiving holes within the body of the securing nut afford the ability to adjust the rod's positionto further reduce the securing nut's rotation travel to less than 360 degrees.
