Abstract

An arrangement for flushing a toilet of the type that comprises a toilet bowl and a toilet tank. In one embodiment, the arrangement comprises a handle assembly comprising a manually actuatable handle that provides a flush signal to the flush valve flapper lifting assembly in response to manual actuation of the handle. In another embodiment, a flush valve actuation assembly, comprising a handle assembly that comprises at least one sensor for detecting the presence of a user in a target area, is mountable in the aperture through a sidewall through which a conventional handle, comprising a lift arm to lift a conventional chain to pivot a conventional flush valve flapper, is mountable.
