Claims
- 1. An improved flushing assembly for toilet tank flushing assemblies having a tank including a discharge opening, the improvement comprising: a float having a central aperture, a rigid stem having connection means for securing said float in a position along said stem through said central aperture so that said position of said float on said stem may be varied, flexible connection means for connecting said stem to a movable flush lever, a flapper valve for opening and closing said discharge opening, said flapper valve having an aperture therethrough positioned to be in communication with said discharge opening when said flapper valve is closing said discharge opening, said stem extending through said flapper valve aperture in slidable relation therewith, said stem having stop means attached thereto at a position below said flapper valve aperture for sealing said aperture when engaged therewith, whereby said stop means allows lifting of said flapper valve when said lever is moved in one direction where the buoyancy of said float is sufficient to maintain said flapper valve in an open position until the water level in said tank has fallen below said float and the adjustability of said float along said stem provides a variable volume flush.
- 2. The assembly of claim 1 wherein said flapper valve aperture is located near the enter of said flapper valve.
