Attorney, Agent or Firm: Iandiorio; Joseph S.

A flush valve including a housing, a removable partition sealingly engaging said housing and defining a primary chamber and a control chamber; the housing including an inlet port in the primary chamber for connection with a source of flushing fluid, and an outlet port in the primary chamber for dispensing the fluid; a valve element connected with the partition for closing the outlet port; first biasing means for producing a force on the partition to urge the valve element to close the outlet port; a passage interconnecting the primary control chambers for enabling equalization of pressure therebetween; an actuator mechanism including an actuator valve connected with the control chamber and an actuator member for setting the actuator valve to the open position to vent the control chamber and enable the valve element to move away from the outlet port and open the flush valve; and an actuator control mechanism driven by the partition as the valve element moves away from the outlet port, for driving the actuator mechanism to reset the actuator valve to the closed position and cease venting the control chamber.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION What is claimed is: 1.
A flush valve comprising: a housing; a moveable partition sealingly engaging said housing and defining a primary chamber and a control chamber; said housing including an inlet port in said primary chamber for connection with a source of flushing fluid, and an outlet port in said primary chamber for dispensing said fluid; a valve element connected with said partition for closing said outlet port; first biasing means for producing a force on said partition to urge said valve element to close said outlet port; a passage interconnecting said primary and control chambers for enabling equalization of pressure therebetween; an auxiliary chamber in communication with said control chamber through said actuator valve and a flow regulating outlet communicating with said outlet port and said auxiliary chamber for discharging the fluid vented through said actuator valve; an actuator mechanism including an actuator valve connected with said control chamber and an actuator member for setting said actuator valve to the open position to vent said control chamber and enable said valve element to move away from said outlet port and open said flush valve; and an actuator control mechanism driven by said partition as said valve element moves away from said outlet port, for enabling said actuator mechanism to reset said actuator valve to the closed position and cease venting said control chamber.
2.
The flush valve of claim 1 further including an antisurge, anti-siphon unidirectional valve member for permitting flow through said passage from said primary chamber to said control chamber when the pressure in said primary chamber exceeds that in said control chamber and preventing flow in the other direction through said passage from said control chamber to said primary chamber when the pressure in said control chamber exceeds that in said primary chamber.
3.
The flush valve of claim 2 in which said unidirectional valve member includes a resilient material mounted in said control chamber covering said passage
