Definitions

• This invention relates to a type of a stoppered discharge system which is designed for toilet reservoir and performs its function with various water volumes.
• Stoppered discharge systems have been used in reservoirs for a long time. There is a need to decrease the amount of water consumed in toilets due to reduced water sources and the methods for fulfilling this need include for example discharge systems with reservoirs of 3-6 liters, toilets which function with less than 6 liters of water or stoppered discharge systems. Therefore user is able to stop the system by intervening water flow after required amount of water is run or enough cleaning is done.
• Discharge systems located in reservoir are used in different types for each reservoir trade mark and model.
• European patent No: EP08921 17 an example of stoppered discharge system is illustrated.
• elements with magnetic character are used on floating part attached to overflow tube and on the surface in which this part is seated.
• System of European patent No: EP0892117 which emphasizes on sealing character comprises complex and expensive parts in terms of manufacturing.
• EP1270831 a reservoir system with double discharge valve is disclosed. In operation, main valve remains opened by the aid of water pressure inside reservoir and second valve controls the amount of water to be added to reservoir by means of at least one floating part. Full discharge and partial discharge could be provided with main valve.
• the object of European patent No: EP1270831 is to perform operation with less closing noise and with less required force.
