Toilet bowl flushing water tank device
Abstract
The present invention provides a toilet bowl flushing water tank device which can prevent the easy increase of a supply quantity of flushing water to a toilet bowl exceeding a predetermined quantity. The present invention provides a toilet bowl flushing water tank device which includes: a flushing water tank for storing flushing water to be supplied to a toilet bowl and forming a discharge outlet which communicates with the toilet bowl in a bottom portion thereof; a discharge valve for opening/closing the discharge outlet; a manipulation portion for performing a pull-up operation of the discharge valves a connection member for connecting the manipulation portion and the discharge valve; and a float mounted on the connection member in a state that the connection member is allowed to pass through the float and generating buoyancy for maintaining a valve-open state of the discharge valve in a state that the float is immersed in the flushing water, wherein the connection member includes an upper engaging portion and a lower engaging portion for restricting a movable range of the float on the connection member, and at least the lower engaging portion includes a lower irreversible engaging jig having physical irreversibility which prevents the removal of the lower engaging portion from the connection member unless the lower irreversible engaging jig is broken.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . A toilet bowl flushing water tank device comprising:
a flushing water tank for storing flushing water to be supplied to a toilet bowl and forming a discharge outlet which communicates with the toilet bowl in a bottom portion thereof; a discharge valve for opening/closing the discharge outlet; a manipulation portion for performing a pull-up operation of the discharge valve; a connection member for connecting the manipulation portion and the discharge valve, and a float mounted on the connection member in a state that the connection member is allowed to pass through the float and generating buoyancy for maintaining a valve-open state of the discharge valve in a state that the float is immersed in the flushing water, wherein the connection member includes an upper engaging portion and a lower engaging portion for restricting a movable range of the float on the connection member, and at least the lower engaging portion includes a lower irreversible engaging jig having physical irreversibility which prevents the removal of the lower irreversible engaging jig from the connection member unless the lower irreversible engaging jig is broken.
2 . A toilet bowl flushing water tank device according to claim 1 , wherein the upper engaging portion includes an upper irreversible engaging jig having physical irreversibility which prevents the removal of the upper engaging portion from the connection member unless broken and/or an upper reversible engaging jig having physical reversibility which allows a change of a movable range of the float due to detachable mounting of the float on the connection member.
3 . A toilet bowl flushing water tank device according to claim 2 , wherein the upper engaging portion includes the upper irreversible engaging jig and the upper reversible engaging jig, the upper irreversible engaging jig is arranged in a spaced-apart manner from the float, and the upper reversible engaging jig is mounted between the upper irreversible engaging jig and the float.
4 . A toilet bowl flushing water tank device according to claim 1 , wherein the lower engaging portion includes the lower irreversible engaging jig and a lower reversible engaging jig having physical reversibility which allows a change of a movable range of the float due to detachable mounting of the float on the connection member, the lower irreversible engaging jig is arranged in a spaced-apart manner from the float, and the lower reversible engaging jig is mounted between the lower irreversible engaging jig and the float.
5 . A toilet bowl flushing water tank device according to claim 1 , wherein a recessed portion which allows the connection member to pass therethrough is formed in a center portion of the float, and the lower irreversible engaging jig and/or the upper irreversible engaging jig is/are accommodated in the recessed portion.
6 . A toilet bowl flushing water tank device according to claim 5 , wherein only the lower irreversible engaging jig is arranged in the recessed portion, and the upper reversible engaging jig formed with a diameter larger than a diameter of the lower irreversible engaging jig is mounted in a state that the upper reversible engaging jig is brought into contact with an upper surface of the float.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
