    Abstract: A foot actuated toilet flushing device for hands free toilet flushing includes a bracket, a pedal assembly, and a cable assembly. The bracket is mountable to a tank of a toilet proximate to a handle of the toilet. A connector is engaged to the bracket and is connectable to the handle of the toilet. The pedal assembly is mountable to a floor proximate to the toilet. The cable assembly is coupled to and extends between the connector and the pedal assembly. The pedal assembly can be pressed by a foot of a user, positioning the cable assembly to transfer a downward force applied to the pedal assembly to the handle of the toilet to flush the toilet.

    Abstract: A grey water toilet system utilizing a pedal interface to trigger the toilet flush and to resupply the toilet tank with grey water. The grey water is generally collected from a nearby water fixture such as a wash basin and placed in a storage reservoir until the user flushes the toilet. This invention can be used to retrofit most existing toilets without the need for remodeling thus making it possible to expand the use of grey water for toilets, potentially leading the way for significant fresh water savings. It is estimated that the average American residence uses in the range of 100,000 gallons of water annually and that more water is used to flush toilets than any other individual activity.

    Abstract: An apparatus and method for foot actuating a toilet by providing a foot pedal having an enhoused cable extending there from. The cable is attached inside the toilet tank to a flushing means within the tank. Upon a user stepping down on the pedal, dual components of the pedal provide for the amount of cable within the foot pedal to be increased by a factor of two relative to the pedal travel distance. This in turn provides for the cable inside of the tank to be decreased by such amount for lifting a weight and actuating the internal flushing means within the toilet tank. Upon removing the user's foot from the foot pedal, the foot pedal, cable and weight are automatically reset to a starting position allowing the toilet to be reset to its original position for reuse.

    Abstract: A foot-operated device for the flushing valve of a wall-mounted urinal is shown. The device has a spring-biassed vertical rod which is connected to a pivot bar installed at the flushing valve of the urinal. The flushing valve may be actuated by a foot pedal provided at the lower end of the vertical rod. All components of the device is located in a spaced manner from the washroom floor such that they are not subject to contamination by water and other corrosive substances that are present on the washroom floor.

    Abstract: An improved hopper seat/lid and flush mechanism for a flush toilet includes a control box having a seat/lid pedal and flush pedal mounted thereto. The seat/lid pedal is connected to the seat of the toilet through a linkage including a sliding rod. The flush pedal is connected to the flush handle of the toilet through a linkage including a straight pipe and spring. Actuation of the seat/lid pedal will move the toilet seat and lid from the closed to open position, or from the open to closed position depending on the orientation before actuation. Acutation of the flush pedal will cause the toilet to be flushed.

    Abstract: A toilet flusher for a disabled person is provided and consists of an elongated cord having a first end connected to a flush handle on a tank of a toilet and a mechanism mounted on the floor next to the toilet and connected to a second end of the cord, for triggering the cord to operate the flush handle when the disabled person steps on the trigger mechanism with their foot instead of with their hand. In a modification an adjustable extension handle is attached to the triggering mechanism so that the disable person can operate the triggering mechanism by pressing down on the extension handle.

    Abstract: Control apparatus used in connection with commodes automatically moves a trip lever for flushing the commode and includes a member adapted to be connected to the trip lever for moving between an initial position and a flushing position to cause the trip lever to raise a drain valve to its open position. A spring moves the member to its flushing position, and a person-operated device causes energy to be stored in the spring and releases subsequently the energy from the spring to move the member toward its flushing position. A latching device connected to the member connects releasably the member and the trip member for moving it and the valve against the force of water pressure acting on the valve until the water pressure equals the force applied by the spring after sufficient water discharge. As a result, the spring commences again to move the member after the sufficient water discharge has taken place to release the latching device so that the member becomes free of the trip lever and the flushing mechanism can complete its normal flushing operation.
