JOHN JJFRIL ANDGEBGE CRUSOE, OF WILKINSBURG, PENNSYLVANIA.
AUTOMATIC I FLUSHING-TAN K.
To alt whom 'it may concern:
Be it ,known that we, Jol-INI J. F man and GEORGE CRUsoE, citizens of tli'e lUnited States of America, residing at VVilkinsburg, in the county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented new and useful 11nprovements in Automatic Flushingfanks,l
of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to automatic fiushing tanks, and one vof the principal objects ofthe same is to provide means' whereby the tank of a water closet will be filled and flushed whenever used.
Another object is to simplify the construction generally in devices of this character.
These and other objects may be attained by means of the construction illustrated .in the accompanying drawing, in which Figure 1 is a side elevation of a closet and a vertical section of a flushing tank. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of a lever employed for operating the valve. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the outletvalve. Fig. 4 is a .detail sectional view of the .inlet valve.
Referring to the drawing for a more specitic description of our invention, the numeral 1 designates an ordinary closet bowl provided with a. cover 2 having a projecting bracket 3 disposed in alinement with a rod 4 mounted to slide in the tank A flushing pipe 6 is connected with the tank 5 through the medium of a bottom 7 provided withA screw threads 8 which engage similar threads in the bottom of the tank, thus making the i bottom 7 removable. A gasket 9 is fitted between the outwardly extending flange on the portion 15 of the stem 13 to hold the valve 1 1 bottom 7 add the body ofv thetank.. The Hnshing pipe 6 is fitted in a threaded opening in the bottom 7. A flaring valve seat 10 is formed in the upper surface of the bottom 7 in line with,y the pipe 6, and a frusto-conical valve 11 provided with a gasket or rubber jacket 12 is mounted upon a stem 13, the
lower end of which is provided with a radial guide member 14. stem 13 is scre\v tl1readed, as at 15, said threaded `portion passing through a slot 16 in a lever 17 pivoted at 18 to a lug 19 formed upon the removable bottom 7. A spring 20 surrounds the stem 13 and. bears at one end against the valve 11, while the upperend bears against the lower surface of the lever 17. `Lock nuts 21 are secured to the threaded Specication of Letters Patent.
`31 in the upper-side of the'tank 5.
The upper end of the,`

-the upper side and the other upon the lower s1de of the arms 24 of the lever 17, as shown more particularly in Fig. 1. The rod 4 passes through a stuflng box 25 fitted to the bottom 7. A weight 26 is adjustable upon the rod 4 by means of a binding screw.
The upper end of the rod 4 is tted to slide in a tubular bearing 27 formed on a valve casing 28 provided with screw threads 29 to engage the threads 30 formed upon a' boss A valve 32 provided with a packing 33 and adapted to lfit the walls of the valve casing 28 is held to its seat by means of a spring 34 bearing at one end against the valve, and the opposite end of which bears against a. removable plug 35 fitted in the upper end of the casing 28 provided with a recess 36 for the valve stem 36a. A pin 38 formed upon or secured to the upper end of the rod 4 extends through the valve 32 and into the valve stem,
a socket 39 being formed in the valve and stern to accommodate the pin 38.
,The operation of our invention`may'be briefly described as follows: The weight 26 on the rod 4 pushes said rod downward against the bracket 3 on the seat 2 and thus lifts the valve 11- from its seat and permits water 4to flow through the flushing pipe 6 to the bowl. When pressure is applied to the seat 2the rod 4 1s pushed upward, which closes the valve 11 and opens the valve 32 to fil-l the tank I.5 with water. Thus the tank is filled and the bowl is flushed at each operation.
From the foregoing it will be obvious that our invention is of simple construction, cannot readily get out of order and. can be produced and installed at slight cost.
Having thus described the invention, wha is claimed as new,fis:7-
In a device of the character'described, the combination of a seat, a bracket extending from the seat, a rod supported upon said bracket, said rod extending upwardly into a Hush tank, a weighton said rod within the tank, an inlet valve in the flush tank, the upper end of said rod having a pin extending 4therefrom to lift said inlet valve for filling said tank, a flush pipe leading from v the lower portion of the tank to the bowl,
a valve for said pipe, a lever pivoted Within said tank, oneend osaid lever being connected to the stem of the' Valve for the flush pipe and the opposite end of said. lever being provided with spaced armsoe'mbrace said rod, and stops on said rod at the Opposite sides of said arms.
In testimony whereof We afx our signatures in presence of two witnesses.
