DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS OF THE INVENTION

[0032] In view of the aforementioned figures and, in accordance with the numbering adopted, an example of a preferred embodiment of the invention can be observed therein, which comprises the parts and elements indicated and described in detail below.

[0033] Thus, as seen in FIGS. 1 to 3, a possible preferred embodiment of the device for adapting a toilet tank flusher to a flush valve provided with an overflow pipe comprises, essentially, the following elements: [0034] An element (1) for fastening to the overflow pipe, which has a ring or cylinder shape with a low height, and which comprises a pair of cut-outs (10) able to house lugs (5) arranged in the overflow pipe (4). [0035] A support element (2) of a casing of a toilet tank flusher, comprising means of fastening with the casing of said flusher.

[0036] The cut-outs (10) of the fastening element (1) comprise a divergent mouth (12), in order to enable the automatic positioning of the lug in the cut-out, and it further comprises a bulge in the inner end thereof which defines a housing (11) of the lugs (5) arranged in the overflow pipe (4). In order for the lug to be able to partially deform the cut-out before being inserted into the housing (11), the fastening element is made of an elastic material.

[0037] The support element (2) forms a single body together with the fastening element (1), and comprises a lower edge which rests on the part (3) for joining to the tank of the simple flush valve, and an upper edge (21) comprising an assembly of protuberances (22) which define a housing (23) for the insertion of pivots arranged on the inner face of the casing of the flusher that is to be assembled, said pivots being inserted into the housings (23) by means of the relative rotation between the casing and the support element (2).

[0038] The flapper of the body of the axial-type flusher, therefore, will be able to produce the blockage by means of it resting on the membrane of the pre-existing base, and the opening by means of the vertical elevation thereof, for example, by means of actuation by a button, using the advantages of other types of flushers.
