Abstract

A device including a connecting piece implement, the connecting piece implement is configured to be operable for preventing jamming or malfunctioning of a toilet flushing mechanism, wherein the connecting piece implement enables a flush lever of the toilet flushing mechanism to open or close a flapper to allow or prevent water to flow from a water tank into a bowl of the toilet. The connecting piece implement comprises at least one flexible material that is configured to engage an attachment aperture of the flush lever and the chain coupled to the flapper. The flexible material having a first end portion and a second end portion. The connecting piece implement further comprises at least one locking element, the locking element including a first lock component disposed on the first end portion of the flexible material.

Claims

 a first end portion; and 
 a second end portion; 
   and   at least one locking element, said locking element including:
 a first lock component disposed on the first end portion of said flexible material. 
   
     
     
         2 . The device of  claim 1 , in which said at least one or more locking element further including a second lock component disposed on the second end portion of said flexible material. 
     
     
         3 . The device of  claim 2 , in which said flexible material comprise a snake chain, and in which said snake chain includes at least one of metal, plastic, aluminum, and brass. 
     
     
         4 . The device of  claim 3 , in which said first end and second end comprise a round or ball shaped end. 
     
     
         5 . The device of  claim 4 , in which said locking element comprise a spherical shaped lock implement, said spherical shaped lock implement comprise a first eyelet and a second eyelet that are configured to receive said first and second round or ball shaped end to form a closed loop when said connecting piece implement engages the flush lever of the toilet water tank and the chain coupled to the flapper. 
     
     
         6 . The device of  claim 1 , in which said first lock component comprise a first restraining element disposed on the first end of said flexible material. 
     
     
         7 . The device of  claim 6 , in which said locking element further including a second restraining element, wherein engaging said first lock component and said second lock component forms a closed loop when said connecting piece implement engages the flush lever of the toilet water tank and the chain coupled to the flapper. 
     
     
         8 . The device of  claim 7 , in which said locking element further including a moving connector that is configured to slide freely along said flexible material, wherein said first and second restraining element are configured to prevent said moving connector from sliding off of flexible material, in which said moving connector comprise a threaded end. 
     
     
         9 . The device of  claim 8 , in which at least one of said first restraining element and second restraining element comprise a threaded end that is configured to be screwed onto the threaded end of said moving connector to form the closed loop when said connecting piece implement engages the flush lever of the toilet water tank and the chain coupled to the flapper. 
     
     
         10 . A device comprising:
 means for containing water for flushing;   means for sealing the water;   means for lifting the sealing means to flush the water into a toilet bowl;   means for connecting the sealing means and the lifting means; and   means for attaching a first end and a second end of the connecting means to form a loop.   
     
     
         11 . A device comprising:
 a connecting piece implement, said connecting piece implement is configured to be operable for preventing jamming or malfunctioning of a toilet flushing mechanism, wherein said connecting piece implement enables a flush lever of the toilet flushing mechanism to open or close a flapper to allow or prevent water to flow from a water tank into a bowl of the toilet, in which said connecting piece implement comprises;   a flexible material, in which said flexible material having:
 a first end; and 
 a second end; 
   and   a locking element, said locking element including:
 a first lock component disposed on the first end of said flexible material. 
   
     
     
         12 . The device of  claim 11 , in which said locking element comprise a second lock component disposed on the second end of said flexible material, and in which said flexible material comprise a metal chain. 
     
     
         13 . The device of  claim 12 , in which said first lock component comprise a first lobster clip that is configured to be operable for engaging a mounting hole or an attachment aperture of the flush lever and said second lock component comprise a second lobster clip that is configured to be operable for engaging a chain that is coupled to the flapper. 
     
     
         14 . The device of  claim 12 , in which said first lock component is configured to engage an attachment aperture of the flush lever and said second lock component comprise a second lobster clip that is configured to engage a chain coupled to the flapper. 
     
     
         15 . The device of  claim 11 , in which said flexible material comprise a smooth chain, and in which said first lock component comprise a hook that is configured to be operable for attaching to the flapper. 
     
     
         16 . The device of  claim 15 , in which said locking element comprise a second lock component that is configured to be operable for attaching to the flush lever, and wherein said connecting piece implement is disposed at the second end of said smooth chain for engaging the flush lever.
