Patent ID: 7219375

Claim:
A toilet flushing arrangement comprising: a) an open topped sleeve locatable in a toilet cistern to surround a flush outlet that allows water to leave the cistern, the open topped sleeve extending to a required height in the cistern, b) the sleeve having sides, each of said sides having an area of weakness for selectively positioning a selectively openable opening provided in a lower part of the sleeve for a selected one of a left handed and right handed operation such that the arrangement provides two flushing modes: i. a low volume flush with the opening closed, wherein substantially only the water within the sleeve plus the volume of any water located above the top of the sleeve, is flushed; and ii. a high volume flush with the opening open, wherein substantially the volume of the water in the cistern, above the lowest part of the opening is flushed; c) a closure is selectively located and pivotally mounted over said opening to open or close said opening; and d) a linkage mechanism connected to a single pivotally movable handle and to said pivotally closure such that a first pivotal movement thereof actuates said linkage mechanism to produce the low volume flush, and a further pivotal movement in the same direction actuates said linkage mechanism and said closure to produce the high volume flush.
