Abstract
A dump bucket apparatus is described for use in a toilet of conventional shape and appearance, which is of simple construction and operation. The apparatus includes a bucket (50) that lies in a conventional tank (44) of long lateral (L) length and short front-to-rear depth, wherein the tank lies on the rear portion (40) of a toilet bowl part (20). Each end of the tank has a hole (122), and a bearing (124) extends through the hole and is fixed thereat to the tank. At least one end of the bucket is fixed to a trunnion (122) that extends through the bearing and that is fixed to a lever (64) lying immediately outside a tank end wall (100), with pivoting of the lever resulting in pivoting of the bucket. A deflector (82) lies at the bottom of the tank to one side of the water exit hole to minimize splashing and to concentrate water at the exit hole. At least one end (94) of the bucket is rounded into about a half circle as seen in a plan view, to provide room for a water inlet pipe (54).
