Controlled toilet flushing system

Claim 1

In combination with a toilet tank having a water reservoir, a water supply line coupled thereto, a discharge drain for delivering water from said reservoir to a toilet bowl disposed therebeneath, a ball cock valve means controlling the flow of water from such supply to said reservoir, an overflow standpipe mounted in said reservoir in communication with said discharge drain, a buoyant flapper valve closing an opening to said discharge drain and being pivotally mounted on said standpipe, and a water impervious discharge control and water saver for controlling the flow of water from said reservoir to said discharge drain, the improvement comprising: (a) said discharge control and water saver having a generally cylindrical configuration with an open top and a closed bottom defining an upwardly open chamber; (b) said discharge control and water saver further having a mounting portion formed therewith and extending substantially laterally from said chamber, said mounting portion being pivotally mounted on said standpipe at a position above said flapper valve such that water contained in said reservoir can enter said chamber when such water is at a full level as controlled by said ball cock valve means, said mounting portion further being positioned on said standpipe such that at least a portion of said chamber bottom is continuously in contact with an upper surface of said flapper valve when said flapper valve is pivoted upwardly; whereby, said discharge control and water saver reduces the buoyancy of said flapper valve thereby allowing premature closing thereof.
