Patent ID: 8104741

Claim:
A flushing system comprising: a sensor; a solenoid valve operatively connected to the sensor, to receive signals from the sensor; an inlet loop configured to be located within a toilet water tank and coupled to a fluid inlet; a hydraulically operated outlet closure actuator; and a fluid conduit providing fluid communication between the outlet closure actuator and the inlet loop; wherein the solenoid valve is assembled as part of the fluid conduit, and the solenoid valve controls the flow of fluid through the fluid conduit; wherein a first signal received by the solenoid valve from the sensor triggers the solenoid valve to open so fluid may flow to the outlet closure actuator; wherein a second signal received by the solenoid valve triggers the solenoid valve to close so fluid is restricted from flowing to the outlet closure actuator, and wherein fluid may flow to the water tank when the solenoid valve is closed.
