Flushing apparatus comprising in combination a cylindrical casing, a plunger reciprocable therein, a valve connected to the plunger adapted to close the opening to a flush pipe, a cylinder connected to the plunger provided With'portWays, a piston valve Within the cylinder adapted to close a passage through the plunger and also the portvvays in the cylinder, a piston reciprocable within the cylinder and having a bypass passage, a rod to Which the piston is connected, a push button upon the end of the rod, and a spring sleeved upon the rod, the casing having a passage Way extending from above the plunger to the main Water supply pipe substantially as and for the purpose specified herein and illustrated; V
2. In flushing apparatus such as claimed in claim 1 the combination of a plunger, a valve connected thereto adapted to close a 5 flush pipe, a cylinder upon the plunger, a piston valve 'reciproc-able therein adapted to close portWays in the cylinder and also a passage through the plunger and the valve, a piston reciprocable'vvithin the cylinder and 40 having a bypass passage, spring means for returning the piston to its normal position, and means by Which the piston is forced into the cylinder substantially as and for the purpose herein described and illustrated.
In testimony whereof have signed my name tothis specification. 7
