thebar 28,V and its lovver end resting upon the sleeve 25. Normally, the closet seat 3l occupies the position illustrated in Fig. l of the drawings, but when depressed the rear slightly projecting armor lever 32 secured thereto and which rests against the front end ot the rod 15a, causes longitudinal movement ot the latter toward the rear, so as to cause the valve 15 to Contact with the plate 13 and close the valve opening 14. Simultaneously, the bell crank lever is rotated about its pivot 2l so that its rearwardly extending arm 23 is raised. The said aiin contacting with the lower side of the sleeve 25, causes upward movement thereof against the tension ot the spring to lii'ft the rod -l and the valve 10 to open the latter, so that Water .may pass through the supply pipe -l and through the valve l0 into the flush tanl: rlfhe seat is caused to return to the position indicated in Fig. l, by the action oi the spring 230, which acting 'through the sleeve 25 upon the lever 20 causes Vcotations 'of the latter and consequent outward oi' torvvard movement of the rod 15"; ln this ivay, the valve 10 is closed, 'while-tbe valve l5 is simultaneously opened. iing oi the latter i'alve permits the vfhich has entered the flush tank 5 tloiv rapid y doivn the upper portion of the supply pipe l and through the branch pipe ll and the coupling pipe l2 into the closet bowl or hopper to flush and cleanse the intermediate the ends of the said rod one arin oi the said lever extending at right angles to said rod and being in engagement therewith, a branch pipe having connection with the said supply pipe the said branch pipe having plate extending across the same such plate being provided with an opening, a longitudinally movable rod extending longitudinally ot said branch pipe and beiiigsupported therein and thereby, the said rod being provided with a valve which is adapted to open and close the opening inthe said plate and the rear end of' the said rod occupying a position in operative relation to the other arm orp said bell crank lever, and means for effecting longitudinal movement of the said longitudinally movable rod substantially as and for the purpose described.
2. The combination ot a supply pipe, a valve for opening and closing said pipe said valve haring connection With rod extending longitudinally ot the said supply pipe, means for holding the said rod normally in depressed position to close the said valve, an angular lever pivoted indeliiendently ot and Atermediate the ends of said rod and having one ot its .arms extending transversely ot the said rod and in engagement thei'ev-fitli, a branch pipe extending laterally from the said supply pipe `and having a plate extending transversely thereol ivh ich plate is provided with an opening, a rod supported by and extending longitudinally in the said bran li pipe said rod being provided with a valve tor closine' the opening in the said plate and the inner rear end ot' the said rod being in operative rela-- tion to the other ai'ni of the said angular lever, and means upon the closet seat of the apparatus for contacting with the liront end ot the said longitudinally movable rod vvhen the seat is depressed to occasion rearward longitudinal movement o't the said rod to thereby occasion pivotal movement of the said angular lever to litt the rod in the said supply pipe substantially as and for the purpose described.
