A foot switch for driving a lever-type flush valve of a toilet bowl, the foot switch comprising:
- a lever operating part mounted on a flush valve of a toilet bowl to rotate a lever of the flush valve;
- a driving cable of which one end is connected to the lever operating part and the other end is connected to a foot stepper;
- and
- the foot stepper configured to pull the driving cable by being pressed by a foot of a user,
- wherein the lever operating part comprises a first frame fixed to the flush valve and a second frame configured to be supported to be rotatable relative to the first frame as the driving cable is pulled,
- wherein the second frame is configured to wrap the lever and be fixed to the lever, the second frame is configured to rotate relative to the first frame as the driving cable is pulled, and the second frame is rotated to rotate the lever fixed to the second frame, and
- wherein:
- the second frame includes a lever hole forming an opening into which the lever is inserted, and a coupling hole formed along a periphery of the opening, and
- each of the lever hole and the coupling hole extends along a lengthwise direction of the second frame.
A foot switch for driving a lever-type flush valve of a toilet bowl, the foot switch comprising:
- a lever operating part mounted on a flush valve of a toilet bowl to rotate a lever of the flush valve;
- a driving cable of which one end is connected to the lever operating part and the other end is connected to a foot stepper;
- and
- the foot stepper configured to pull the driving cable by being pressed by a foot of a user,
- wherein the lever operating part comprises a first frame fixed to the flush valve and a second frame configured to be supported to be rotatable relative to the first frame as the driving cable is pulled,
- wherein the second frame is configured to wrap the lever and be fixed to the lever, the second frame is configured to rotate relative to the first frame as the driving cable is pulled, and the second frame is rotated to rotate the lever fixed to the second frame, and
- wherein a diameter of a lever hole increases in a direction away from an opening into which the lever is inserted in a lengthwise direction of the second frame.
A foot switch for driving a lever-type flush valve of a toilet bowl, the foot switch comprising:
- a lever operating part mounted on a flush valve of a toilet bowl to rotate a lever of the flush valve;
- a driving cable of which one end is connected to the lever operating part and the other end is connected to a foot stepper;
- and
- the foot stepper configured to pull the driving cable by being pressed by a foot of a user,
- wherein the lever operating part comprises a first frame fixed to the flush valve and a second frame configured to be supported to be rotatable relative to the first frame as the driving cable is pulled,
- wherein the second frame is configured to wrap the lever and be fixed to the lever, the second frame is configured to rotate relative to the first frame as the driving cable is pulled, and the second frame is rotated to rotate the lever fixed to the second frame, and
- wherein
- the second frame comprises a pair of protrusions each extending downward adjacent to an opening into which the lever is inserted, and
- a hole is formed in each of the protrusions, and a guide pin is fixedly fitted into the hole.
