  • Patent number: 9689154
    Abstract: The invention relates to a two-level water flushing device for toilets (10), which allows the user to easily select between either a partial flush for liquid waste or a full flush for solid waste. The device (10) can be easily installed without requiring the toilet cistern (11) to be modified in any way. The device consists of five main parts: a modified overflow pipe (15), a full flush valve (30) mounted on the water flow casing (15B) of the modified overflow pipe (15), an adjustable height pipe nipple (45), a partial flush valve (55), and a pair of flush handles (65 and 70). In order to perform a partial flush, the partial flush handle (70) is pressed and, in order to perform a full flush, the full flush handle (65) is pressed.

  • Patent number: 9687967
    Abstract: The invention relates to a mechanical device for manually clamping objects (10), which allows a user to clamp objects which, owing to their characteristics, uses or processes, would be dangerous to the user's hand, as well as simply to clamp different objects. The device consists of five main parts: an upper jaw (15), a lower jaw (25), an upper handle (45), a lower handle (30), and a simple lever two-point shaft (65). In order to clamp an object with the device, the user inserts his/her thumb into the thumb hole (35) in the lower handle (30) and the rest of the fingers into the upper handle (45). By expanding the fingers of the hand the upper (15) and lower (25) jaws open and by contracting the fingers the jaws close. Objects are clamped on the opposite side of the palm. This device (10) can be used ambidextrously.
