Multi-flush mode toilet

An actuation mechanism for a multi-flush toilet assembly, the actuation mechanism comprising:

• a first handle configured to pivot about a pivot axis;
• a second handle configured to pivot about the pivot axis;
• a moveable element;
• and
• a cam coupled to one of the first and second handles and including a cam surface configured to move the moveable element;
• and
• wherein rotation of the one of the first and second handles is limited to a first angular travel by the moveable element provided in a first position, the first angular travel configured to provide a first flush mode of the toilet assembly;
• and
• wherein rotation of both the first and second handles results in movement of the moveable element to a second position which permits the first and second handles to rotate to a second angular travel to provide a second flush mode that is different than the first flush mode.

An actuation mechanism for a multi-flush toilet, the actuation mechanism comprising:

• a first handle configured to pivot about a pivot axis;
• a second handle configured to pivot about the pivot axis;
• a stop member configured to pivot between a first position and a second position;
• and
• a driving member configured to move the stop member;
• wherein pivoting of only the first handle is limited to a first rotation by the stop member configured in the first position;
• wherein pivoting of the second handle rotates the first handle with the second handle and moves the stop member to the second position through the driving member allowing the first and second handles to pivot to a second rotation that is greater than the first rotation;
• wherein when the first handle is pivoted by the first rotation, the actuation mechanism actuates a first flush cycle of the toilet that is configured to transfer a first volume of water from a tank to a bowl;
• and
• wherein when both of the handles are pivoted by the second rotation, the actuation mechanism actuates a second flush cycle that is configured to transfer a second volume of water from the tank to the bowl, the second volume being greater than the first volume.
