A toilet lid and seat closer and flushing system that aims to prevent the spread of diseases and reduce environmental pollution caused by the emission of infectious and polluting bioaerosols during toilet flushing. The system includes a main actuator with dual closing and flushing buttons, a secondary actuator with a strike knob for closing the lid and seat, and a mechanical timer for delaying the water flushing. The system also includes a sealing rubber on the toilet lid and seat to provide a hermetic and antimicrobial barrier. This invention substantially reduces the emission of polluting bioaerosols, contributing to preventive medicine and improving the health of the global population. The system can be incorporated into new toilets or installed externally as an independent kit, making it adaptable to hundreds of millions of existing toilets worldwide.
A toilet lid and seat closer and flushing system comprising a main actuator connected to a secondary actuator through a connector rod, wherein said main actuator comprises at least a first closing button for partial flushing and a second closing button for full flushing and said second actuator closes said toilet's lid, wherein said first and second closing buttons also act as a flushing buttons, simultaneously activating water flushing and lid closure, and wherein said secondary actuator comprises a strike knob that activates closure of said toilet's lid when pressed, an articulated link between the connector rod and the strike knob and a secondary actuator support and cover to protect the second actuator from external elements.
A toilet lid and seat closer and flushing system of comprising a mechanical timer and a main actuator connected to a secondary actuator through a connector rod, wherein said main actuator comprises at least a first closing button for partial flushing and a second closing button for full flushing and said second actuator closes said toilet's lid, wherein said first and second closing buttons also act as a flushing buttons, activating lid closure first and water flushing subsequently, wherein said secondary actuator comprises a strike knob that activates closure of said toilet's lid when pressed, an articulated link between the connector rod and the strike knob and a secondary actuator support and cover to protect the second actuator from external elements, and wherein said mechanical timer delays water flushing until closing of said toilet's lid has been completed.
