Abstract:
1. A toilet reservoir mounted toilet handle tensioner device, comprising: an elongated member having a first end and a second end; a clamp on the first end for clamping the elongated member to an upper edge of a toilet reservoir tank, the clamp includes a first U shape with a downwardly facing opening for clamping about the upper edge of the toilet reservoir tank, and a second U shape with an upwardly facing opening attached between the first U shape and the first end of the elongated member; and a free end on the second end, for abutting against an upper surface portion of an internal toilet handle arm, for preventing the toilet handle arm from rising above a predetermined level, which results in preventing a toilet from constantly running after being flushed and also keeping tension on the handle arm which keeps the arm rigid not allowing it to loosen which in turn can cause the flapper chain to get hung up in the arm when the arm is loose lose causing the flapper not to seal as intended.
