Abstract

See full text

A switching mechanism is configured to switch an advancing direction of water injected from a nozzle by moving between a first position and a second position. The switching mechanism is held at the second position by a force received from the water injected by the nozzle during the tank water feeding process. A refill mechanism has a refill pipe for causing the water injected from the nozzle during the tank water feeding process and whose advancing direction is switched by the switching mechanism to flow in through an inflow port on one end side. The refill pipe is configured to lead the water having flowed in through the inflow port to a toilet stool body without flowing through a suction port of a throat pipe.
