This invention discloses an improvement in the flush-toilet at which the water will flush out automatically into the basin at the period of time after somebody uses it. By means of two pumps installed at different levels and a connector to contain a magnet, a lever will be controlled to activate another pump to jet air into a water tank. This action opens a water conduit in the tank and the water is permitted to flush into the basin. Also the compressed air in the water tank presses strongly the water to flow into the conduit. The time in delaying the drainage of water to flush into the basin depends on the speed of the magnet moving in the connector, and the length and the inclination of that connector. The magnet is drawn upward in the connector when the lower pump is activated by the weight of somebody upon the seating circle. After the utilizer leaves the flush-toilet, the magnet moves back to its primary location to attract a lever. Then, the stopper of a conduit is opened and the water is flushed into the basin.
An automatic flushing system for a toilet bowl having a liquid inlet, a liquid outlet and a liquid reservoir for supplying flushing liquid to the bowl through said inlet, said system comprising a toilet seat atop said bowl, resilient compression means interposed between said seat and said bowl, a first viscous-liquid cylinder, a plunger in said first cylinder, a rod connecting said plunger to said seat whereby pressure applied to said seat to compress said resilient compression means also effects depression of said plunger in said first cylinder and release of said applied pressure on said seat causes the resilient compression means to expand thereby raising said seat and also raising said plunger in said first cylinder, a second viscous-liquid cylinder, a liquid flow pipe connecting said first and second cylinders, said pipe being inclined upwardly from said first cylinder to said second cylinder, a free-floating magnet within said pipe, said magnet having limited free travel within said pipe between lower and upper positions, said magnet being urged towards said upper position by liquid flowing from said first to said second cylinder in response to said application of pressure on said seat, said magnet being urged to said lower position by liquid flowing from said second to said first cylinder in response to the release of said pressure from said seat, control means for releasing flushing liquid from said reservoir to flow into said bowl, magnetic triggering means for actuating said control means in response to said magnet attaining said lower position in said pipe and mechanical cocking means operative in response to said pressure applied to the seat for setting said triggering means to respond to said magnet when said magnet attains said lower position.
