  • Patent number: 5261129
    Abstract: A dual volume flushing system for flush tank comprises two flapper valves located adjacent to one another. An abutting tongue is provided between the two valves for preventing the lower valve to interfere with the action of the upper valve. A flush handle is provided to simultaneously actuate both flapper valves in order to allow the water in the flush tank to rush through the valve body in the direction of the toilet bowl to allow the use of a minimal amount of water. The flush handle is also provided with a two system lever to separately actuate the upper flapper valve alone when only liquid material needs to be flushed from the toilet bowl.

  • Patent number: 4735124
    Abstract: A peg box for a stringed instrument adapted to facilitate the introduction of the musical strings in the aperture of the tuning pegs. The peg box is made of a solid beam of material having a flat upper face and transversal channels for rotatably receiving the pegs. Bores extend from the upper face of the beam to the channels. Diametral apertures in the tuning pegs are aligned with the bores according to a predetermined reference mark. The musical strings are easily introduced into the bores and are automatically aligned with the apertures of the pegs. The threading of the musical strings is facilitated and made even easy for a blind person.
