Abstract

Disclosed are various embodiments of a toilet flush handle. In one embodiment, the toilet flush is attached to a lever. At least one receptacle is disposed on the lever, the at least one receptacle being configured to facilitate attachment of a flapper tether to the lever. In one embodiment, the toilet flush handle includes an anti-microbial agent. In another embodiment, an active component is embedded in the toilet flush handle. The active component is configured to generate a user perceivable output in response to a movement of the toilet flush handle.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A system, comprising:
 a toilet flush handle attached to a lever;   at least one receptacle disposed on the lever, the at least one receptacle being configured to facilitate attachment of a flapper tether to the lever; and   the toilet flush handle including an anti-microbial agent.   
   
   
       2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of the toilet flush handle is constructed from an anti-microbial material, the anti-microbial agent being included in the anti-microbial material. 
   
   
       3 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein a coating that includes the anti-microbial agent covers at least a portion of the toilet flush handle. 
   
   
       4 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the toilet handle further comprises a shield portion that covers a touch portion of the toilet flush handle. 
   
   
       5 . The system of  claim 4 , wherein the shield portion includes the anti-microbial agent. 
   
   
       6 . A system, comprising:
 a toilet flush handle; and   an active component embedded in the toilet flush handle, the active component being configured to generate a user perceivable output in response to a movement of the toilet flush handle.   
   
   
       7 . The system of  claim 6 , wherein the toilet flush handle is removably attached to a flush lever, the flush lever having at least one receptacle configured to facilitate attachment of a flapper tether. 
   
   
       8 . The system of  claim 6 , wherein the active component further comprises an audio playback system, where the user perceivable output comprises an audio message generated by the audio playback system. 
   
   
       9 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the audio playback system further comprises a memory that facilitates storage of an audio recording. 
   
   
       10 . The system of  claim 6 , wherein the active component further comprises at least one light source, where the user perceivable output comprises an illumination of the light source. 
   
   
       11 . The system of  claim 6 , wherein the active component further comprises a motion activated switch, where the movement of the toilet flush handle is detected by the motion activated switch. 
   
   
       12 . The system of  claim 6 , wherein the active component further comprises a vibration sensor, where the movement of the toilet flush handle is detected by the vibration sensor.
