Description A flush urinal-toilet disposes human waste by using water through a drainpipe to another location. A series of urinal-toilets
are fitted in offices, malls, multiplexes, educational institutions, bus railway stations, airports, commercial complexes, stadia and
other public places. Most have manual flushing systems like push button, trigger, pull chain, etc. however, use of such manually
operated flush can spread germs and bacteria when contacted and thus users avoids to flush or lead to wastage of water if used.
Now a day’s laser or infrared sensor operated flushes is also used in the places of high commercial value and importance but are
expensive and required continuous O&M. Therefore, the sanitary facility may remain un-flushed leading to unhygienic
conditions and foul smell. Thus need for a low cost automatic flushing apparatus which can flush the right-controlled amount of
water and avoid direct contact thus conserving water as well as maintaining personal hygiene and sanitationThe present invention
relates to a specially designed mechanical automatic urinal-toilet flusher and a mechanism thereof, which utilizes the weight
load/pressure of the person using the urinal-toilet for automatic flushing the urinal- toilet with the specified or measured quantity
of water to prevent odors, soil drain and scale buildup. It ensures the compulsory, regular and un-intentional flushing of the
urinal-toilet without any direct hand contact of the user to the flush and also conserve water at the same time is simple and cheap,
which can be fitted-retrofitted to new as well as existing water pipe line of the urinal-toilets.
