Abstract

A FLEXIBLE DRIVE MECHANISM FOR A FLUSHING APPARATUS ACTUATED BY MOVEMENT OF A FLUSH HANDLE VIA AN ACTUATION ELEMENT IS DISCLOSED. THE DRIVE MECHANISM INCLUDES A HOUSING AND FLEXIBLE DRIVE SYSTEM IN THE HOUSING, THE FLEXIBLE DRIVE SYSTEM INCLUDING AN ACTUATING ELEMENT OPERABLE TO MOVE THE FLUSH HANDLE BETWEEN A NON-ACTUATING POSITION AND A FULL STOP ACTUATING POSITION. THE HOUSING FURTHER INCLUDES FIRST AND SECOND BRACKET HALVES AND FIRST AND SECOND REMOVALBE INSERT HALVES FOR ADAPTING THE FIRST AND SECOND BRACKET HALVES TO SUBSTANTIALLY ENCLOSE AND ENGAGE A BUSHING AND NUT AND THEREBY SECURE SAID ELECTROMECHANICAL FLEXIBLE ACTUATOR TO THE FLUSH LEVER OF THE SANITARY FIXTURE.
