Abstract
A water conservation device for use within a toilet is disclosed. In at least one embodiment, the device includes a connector having a base adapted for connectivity and placement adjacent to a traditional pole assembly and proximate to an opening valve within a tank of the toilet. In at least one embodiment, the device includes a flexible pressure arm integrally formed with the connector base and adapted to couple to the opening valve within the tank of the toilet and adapted to provide a pressure to the opening valve to lessen overall water utilized in each flush of the toilet and thereby conserve water. The water conservation device is adapted for either a total or partial flush of the toilet as selected by a user.
Claims20
A water conservation device for use within a toilet, the device comprising:
- a connector having a base configured to connectivity and placement adjacent to a toilet pole assembly and proximate to a flapper that covers an opening valve within a tank of the toilet;
- a flexible pressure arm, bendable in a curved direction upwardly from the flapper over the opening valve within the tank as the flapper is raised, integrally formed with the connector base, in a planar state with the base prior to installation, and configured to couple to the opening valve within the tank of the toilet and configured to provide a pressure downwardly upon a top center portion of the opening valve to lessen overall water utilized in each flush of the toilet and thereby conserve water;
- wherein the connector and the flexible pressure arm are integrally formed and comprise a single, one-part device;
- and
- wherein an inherent tension is created is created between the base and the flexible pressure arm upon installation to facilitate the downward pressure to the top center portion of the flapper above the opening valve.
A toilet system comprising:
- a tank;
- a bowl;
- a connector having a base configured to connectivity and placement adjacent to a toilet pole assembly and proximate to a flapper that covers an opening valve within the tank of the toilet;
- a flexible pressure arm, bendable in a curved direction upwardly from the flapper over the opening valve within the tank as the flapper is raised, integrally formed with the connector base, in a planar state with the base prior to installation, and configured to couple to the opening valve within the tank of the toilet and configured to provide a pressure downwardly upon a top center portion of the opening valve to lessen overall water utilized in each flush of the toilet and thereby conserve water;
- wherein the connector and the flexible pressure arm are integrally formed and comprise a single, one-part device;
- and
- wherein an inherent tension is created is created between the base and the flexible pressure arm upon installation to facilitate the downward pressure to the top center portion of the flapper above the opening valve.
