According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The titled invention discloses a wireless flush actuation system designed to improve hygiene and usability in water-wash lavatories. The system comprises a wireless useroperable trigger (100) and an actuator module (104) installed within or adjacent to a toilet cistern (154). The wireless user-operable trigger (100) may include a wallmounted push button (200a), a foot-operated switch (204), allowing flushing from a user-selected location without direct contact with a fixed flush handle. Upon activation, the trigger (100) transmits a wireless actuation signal (RA) through a wireless communication link (106) to the actuator module (104). The actuator module (104), comprising a motor, servo, or solenoid assembly, mechanically engages an existing flush lever, chain, or flush valve (102,134) via a mechanical engagement linkage (128) to initiate flushing. A manual override mechanism is retained to ensure fail-safe operation during power loss. The invention offers a hygienic, ambidextrous, and retrofit-compatible flushing solution suitable for residential, public, and institutional water-wash sanitation environments."
