Abstract:
1. An automatic toilet flushing system having a reservoir tank, said system comprising: a sensor for sensing the approach and departure motion of a user with respect to the toilet and for generating a signal representative of the approach and departure motion of the user; an actuator in communication with the sensor for causing an automatic flushing of the toilet in response to the signal from the sensor, wherein the actuator comprises a motor output shaft coupled to a rotatable body via a clutch at a first end of the rotatable body; and a flushing mechanism co-acting with the actuator, wherein the flushing mechanism includes a flapper valve, wherein the flapper valve is connected to a second end of the rotatable body such that rotation of the motor output shaft creates linear motion at the second end of the rotatable body to lift the flapper valve, whereby the flapper valve is adapted to release water from the reservoir tank upon actuation of the toilet flushing system.
