My invention consists -in the novelf'features `hereinafter described, reference being had to the accompanying drawings which show one form in which I have contemplated embodying my invention and a slight modi` ticationthereof, vand saidinvention is fully disclosed inthe following description `and claims.
The object of my invention is to` providea iushing tank andflushing `valve mechanismi therefor ot extremely simpleconstructiomin which the supporting means of thevalve operating mechanism is formed as a part of the tank and preferably of porcelain or earth! enware,1the apparatus being so simple that, the parts can be shipped to the point of use with the flushing tank and placed in operative position by anyone without the use ofl tools, and Without the necessity of calling'in skilled labor. t,
My invention also consists in the novel 'features of' construction and combination of parts hereinafter fully described andpartic-` ularly pointed out in the claims.

In the ordinary llusliing tank now almostentirely madeof porcelainflor earthenware, it is custon'iary to providefan aperture a lateral Wall, generally the front wall, for the shaft ot an operating device act` resents the lfushin valve which is preferab hollow, closed at its uppereiid and. openat n fits lower end, and provided with curved or 19a?. semi No. raam.
ingupon aslever supportedwithin the tank and `connected with the flushingvalve. This necessltates the@ use of aV bearing sleeve in the aperture, means for supporting the lever Within the tank, and requires a skilled operator to .assemble the parts and place themA in operatlve relation andadjustment."
*Incarrying out my present"inventionl lprovide the tank "indicated at 1, formed pref` erably of porcelain or earthenvvare, With an1 aperture, 2, `in its front wall, which is sli ht-` ly elongated vertically, and `has its e ges rounded as indicated at 3. On the inner tace of the front vvall Joff the tank, Ifprovide a longitudinallydisposed bracket `indicated at 4, `which is'preferably formed'integrally, that istofsay` in "one piece with the front wall`,` and Ais provided 'on its upper face with a longitudinalrecess", 5, having its bottom, 6, inclined forwardly `and downwardly toward the front Wall vot' the tank. This bracket is so located that thebottoni, 6, of the recess is in substantial ali nmentlwith the center of the aperture, 2, an is dis osed between said aperture and the longitu inal center ofthe front n'all." The outer longitudinal iange of the bracket "isfpreferably eiitendednpwardly at the end of the bracket rem'oteifrom lso the aperture,` 2', asindicated at 4, and the inner faceof saidvvall isprovided with a. curved taperinglrecess, 4", as lindicated in Figs. 4" and "5, toreceivefa retaining plug or Wedge,6, Whichispreferably of compressible material as corkfrubber or Wood, which "may be gently pressed into the space between i saidr'ecess, 4., andthe front Wall of the tank, as indicated in the said Figs. 4 and 5. The' tank is'pro-vided `'at the bottom with theA l usual centrally locatedaperture, 7, in" which is secured a threaded sleeve,"8, having a `flange, `9, at its upperend, engaging a shoul` der, 10, held in place by the usual nut, 11, said fitting being providedwith a valve seat, `which is preferably formedof nonicorrodi` ble material, and is lindicatedat` 12. 13 rep substantially spherical seat engagingp`or`V tions indicated at '14. The upper end of the" valve is provided `vvitlr an aperture having"a` ,flange or collar, 115. Thevalve is preferably "joint therewith.l 16is" a" vertical hollow 110x valve stemmand overflow pipe, which preferably Iformed of`celluloid or other suitable material, whi'eh'is strong and light and not eliected by the water, and the saidt'ubul'ar stem,16, ispassed" through the collar, 155,'z'1nilV disposed' holes inthe lower end I of the hollow valve stein, 'andr vpassing-"a wire'therethrough, one end of whichjis secured as at 17, by bending it aroundthe lower edge of the tube, the other end of the wirebeingbent downwardlyatthe other side of the tube andupwar'dly toi-form a loop, as indicatedin Fig. 1 for example. This is avery simple and inexpensive 'way ofi. providing the valve stem with a depending device which 'holds the valve substantially in axial alignment with the valve seat during its vertical movements, an'dpreveuts it fromfswinging out of alignment witli'the seat. The. upper end of the valve stem, 16,"is provided with an attaching device which ispreferablyfin the form 'ofahook,for attaching itto the valve: operating mechanism. This hook preterably appliedby forming apertures the opposite sides of the valve stem, 16, and pas-sing Va piece of wire therethrough, one end of which issecured bending itdownward around the upper edgeofthe valve stem, whilethe other end/is bent upwardly and downwardly to form thehook indicated at 19. The valve/actuating mechanism comprises a rock shaft, l20,-provid'ed at one end withA a lifting lever, 21, and; atthe opposite end withan operating arm, 22. VThis de- 4vice is preferably formed of one piece of metal rod, :preferably brass or other y'suitable'metal, and the outer end of the lifting arm,I 21, is provided with an 'aperture or eye,to engage the hook, V19, of the valve stem. The rockshaft,`20, is adaptedvto lbe supported in the bearing bracket, 4, and lies in the groove or recess, A,5, 'thereof, being supported by the inclined bottom, 6, ofthe groove or recess, which tends toforee it toward the front wall of the tank. -rIfhe outer endof the operating arm, 22, exten-ds through the aperture, 2, inthe front wall of the tank, and vprovided eXteriorly with a finger piece, 23, which is-alsvo formedpreferably of porcelain so as to present a harmonious and pleasing appearance. The innerftace` of the finger piece is provided with Ia recess, 2l, and asmallerrecess, 25, which also opens through thefbottomof the linger piece, the two recesses being cennected by'a narrow slot, ,26, formingl oppositely disposed shouldersf-QT and l28, as clearly shownin F ig. 8
for'eaniple. The upper recess, 241, is also with a recess, 29, in its rear wall, f having its lower portronin substantial align-VV 'ment 'withvthe shoulder, 27, to receive the lend portion of the operating arm which is deta'chablyand adjustably secured thereto in any desired manner. In the present instanc'e and'for economy, l find it convenient to connect the linger piece to the operating armjby means of anI ordinary stove belt, in-V dicated at 30, Iprovided with a nut, 31, en'-` gaging the upper face ofthe. operating arm,
22, and having its head, 32,"located in the lowerrecess, 25, and provided with a washer, 83, preferably.inserted between the head of the bolt and the shoulders, 27 and 28,'of the porcelain linger piece. By this means the 'porcelain finger piece can-readily be secured to the metal operating arm without danger of breaking the porcelain and in a manner y which permits the porcelain finger piece to be lreadily molded, while lthe retaining means, to wit, the stove bolt and nut` are entirely concealed. The portion of theY operating arm between the rear face of the linger piece andv the rock Shaft which extends through the aperture, 2, inthe front wall "of the tank, is preferably,provided with a tubular bumper indicated atfll, and
vpreferablyformed from apiece offrubber tubing for the purpose otproviding an elastic or cushioning material'between the operating arm and the edges the aperture, 2, to prevent noise in the operation ofthe device.
In assembling the valve operating means, it will be seen that the operating arm, rock shaft and valve lifting arm, which 'as before stated are preferably formed of one piece of stock, (preferably round brass rod) vcan-be -inserted through the aperture,-2, by irst'in serting the valve lifting farm, 22, therethrough from' t-,he outside, and then v passing the rock shaftthrough. the aperture, Y2, and thenfvpassing the operating arm through said aperture and bringing the rocksliaft close against the inner'face of the frontwallof the tank and inserting it ini-the longitudinal rreeess,5, therein, after which the retaining wedge, Y6, (which may bean ordinary cork or rubber stopper, for example) is pressed into j 'position between the front wall of theitank 4and the recess, 4b, as clearly shown. in Figs.
2, 4 and 5where it will be retained by friction and will hold the rock shaft against accidental'displacement. Thehook, 19, at the upper end `of the valve stem, 16, is then engaged with an aperture, 21, as indicated in `Figs. 1, 2 and 4, the valvebeing placed in engagement with the valve seat.
The tank, 1, is provided with any suitable vvmeans `for supplying water and 'maintaining a predetermined level thereof, which may be of any desiredch'aracter. have'shown an weones inlet pipe, 40 (Fig.` `l);supported` by a filling, 41, inthe bottom of the tank and provided at its upper end with an inlet valve, 42, float lever, 43, and float, 44, and a` discharge pipe,
45, surrounding the inlet pipe and discharg-` ing adjacent `to the bottom `ofthe tank, but these devices form no part of my present in-` vention and will not bej more `particularly described. i
In FigJS), I have shown slightly 1modified v fforin t of bearing bracket vand retainingmeans `extending projection, 104, and Valmetal clip,
107, 'is slipped over this portion of `the i bracket having t a portion, 107, `extending over the recess,`106, and rock shaft,f120,`and a shoulder, 107 to 'engage the bearing recess, 106, as shown, to prevent the accidental displacement ofthe rock shaft. f t It will be seen that my improved4 flushing valve mechanism can be manufactured cheaply, 'and is ofgsueh 'sin'iple `construction that anyone can `assemble it. When the parts are placed inoperative position, the rock shaft willbeheld from endwise movement bythe engagement ofthe operating arm in the aperture, 2, and will be held in the bearing bracket by the retaining means described.
`assuming that the tank is filled tothe predetern'iined water ,level a` flushing operation maybe produced by simpl depressing the finger piece, 23,' thisy willdsiipress the outer;
4end of the' operatinga rm, 22 and rock the shaft, 20, raising the outer end of the lifting arm, 2 1, and raisingthe valve, 13. The water in lthe tank will immediately begin to run outl and the hollow valve being filled with air will remain suspended in the Water, sovlong` asit isinnnersed therein, being'alsopartly counterbalancedfby the porcelain finger piece, `soon as thewater level is below the valve, andthe water no longer supports it the weight of the valve and its ,stem Will `cause the valve to again engage its seat. VThe parts are so constructed however that the seat is not `fully closed'until a suflicient'amount of `"watercollects inthe tank to pressdown on thelvalve and force it into engagementvwith the seat, and previousto its final seatingia small amountof water will yseep throughbetween the valve Aandits seat, `providing an afterfilh As soon as the tank is substantially` full, the `pressureof water on the valve `will holditiclosed andrnomore, water will pass through thefoutlet. 'Y i V I prefer to form the rock shaft in onev ieee. withtheioperating arm and valve lifting arm, as itemakes avery cheap and `eilioient devicewhich caneasily be inserted through the aperture, 2, and it will also begunderstood that in case `of slight variations in thewposi-` tion of Athe axis, of "the flushing valve seat, due` toirregularities in the porcelain` or, earthenware, the valve lifting arm can readily bent in one direction orthe other to bring its onter end in alignment with the axisgofthe valveseat, t t
The tank, 1, is also provided with the usual cover, also ofrporcelainor earthenware,as indicated atO, inFigs. l and 2; i
