Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented May 31), 1916..
Application filed. September 18, 1914. Serial No. 862,396.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, SIMON PETER BILYEU, a citizen of the United States, residing at Sacramento, in the county of Sacramento and State of California, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Flushing Apparatus for Closets, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to new and useful improvements in flushing apparatus for closets.
The primary obj eet of the invention is the provision of such an apparatus which will be operated from the seat.
A further object is the provision of such an apparatus wherein a predetermined amount of water is allowed to flow for the flushing.
With these and other objects in view the invention consists in the novel details of construction and arrangement of parts which will be more clearly understood from the following description and drawings in which,
Figure 1 is a front elevation. Fig. 2 1s a side elevation. Fig. 3 is a top plan of the seat. Fig. 4 is a top View of the valve-operating gear, and Fig. 5 is a vertical sectlon through the motor.
In the drawings, the numeral 1 indicates a closet bowl of ordinary construction and 2 the seat hinged thereto. The water supply pipe is indicated, at 3, and enters the bowl, at A rotary valve is placed within the pipe 3, as shown at 5, and on the extension 6 thereof is a small gear or pinion 7. A large gear 8 is secured to the pipe 3 by means of a clamp 9 and meshes with a small gear pinion 10 secured to the pipe by means of the clamp 11. Secured to the small pinion 10 is a large gear 12. Intermediate the ends of the pipe 3 is an enlarged casing 13 in which operates a motor or paddle Wheel 14: and on the end of the motor-shaft 15 is a small pinion 16 which meshes with the large gear 12 above described.
A bell crank arm 17 is loosely mounted on the extension 6 of the valve and carries a pawl 18 which is adapted to engage the the opposite end is engaged by a projection or plate 23 carried by the seat. A coil spring 24 is connected at'one end to the rod 19 and at the opposite end to the floor, as shown at 25. Secured to the large gear 8 is a gear fragment or segment 26 which is adapted to mesh with the small gear or pinion 7 while closing the valve.
Having fully described the detailed construction of the device it is thought that the operation will be clear.
When the several parts are in the position shown in Figs. 1 and 2 of the drawings, the valve is closed and no water is admitted to the bowl. When the seat 2 is depressed the rod 20 is swung on the pivot point 21 and raises the rod 19 which, through means of the crank arm 17, causes the pawl 18 to pass over the teeth of the pinion 7. When the parts are in this position the spring 21 will be under tension. When pressure is removed from the seat 2 the same will be raised by means of the spring 24 pulling down upon the rod 19 and as this pulls on the crank arm 17 the pawl 18 will engage the teeth of the pinion 7, thereby rotating the same and opening the valve 5. The water passing through the pipe 3 engages the motor or paddle wheel 14, thereby revolving the same and turning the gear 16 which in turn operates the gear 1 which, through means of the small gear 10, rotates the large gear 8. The fragmental gear 26 is disengaged from the pinion 7 upon the first rotation of the large gear 8 so that the large gear 8 rotates one entire revolution without meshing with the pinion 7 or turning the valve. Upon the complete rotation of the gear 8 the fragmental gear 26 will engage the small gear or pinion 7, thereby rotating the same and closing the valve. By this construction it will be seen that only a predetermined amount of water will be used in flushing the closet.
Having fully described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is 1. The combination with a closet, a seat hinged thereto, an inlet pipe, a valve in said pipe and having a gear secured thereto, a motor mounted in the pipe, a pawl engaging the gear on the valve, a rod connected to the pawl and to the seat, a gear secured to the motor, and a plurality of gears connecting the motor gear and valve gear.
2. The combination with a closet, a seat hinged thereto, a lever pivotally' connected to the closet and engaging the seat, an inlet pipe, a valve within said pipe and having a gear secured thereto, a pawl engaging the I gear, a'rod connecting the pawl and lever connected to the motor gear, and a fragmental gear secured to said gear. clamped to the pipe and adapted to engage the valve gear.
4. The combination with a closet, a seat hinged thereto, a lever pivoted to the closet and engaging the seat, an inlet pipe, a'valve within the pipe, a gear secured to the valve,
a pawl adapted to engage the valve gear, a rod connected to the pawl and closet lever,
a spring secured to the rod, a motor Within the pipe, a gear secured to the motor, a gear clamped to the pipe and connected to the motor gear, and a fragmental gear secured to said gear clamped to the pipe and adapted to mesh with the valve gear.
'5. The combination with a closet, a seat hinged thereto, a lever pivotally connected to the closet and engaging the seat, an inlet pipe, a valve within said pipe and having a gear secured thereto, a bell crank lever loosely mounted on the gear shaft, a pawl carried by the bell crank lever and adapted to engage the gear, a rod connected to the bell crank lever and to the lever pivoted to the closet, a motor mounted in the pipe and having a gear secured thereto, and a plurality of gears connecting the motor gear and valve gear.
In testimony whereof I afliX my signature in presence of two witnesses.
