A Puzzle.
We FRANK MOORE of 3 Glenhurst Road, Brentford, Middlesex. Brass Finisher,
JOHN GREENFIELD of 71 Candahar Road, Clapham, Surrey, Engineer and FREDERICK
BARTLETT LIDSTONE of Warwick Road, South Kensington Middlesex, Land
Agent, do hereby declare the nature of our said invention to be as follows:-
The object of this invention is to construct or arrange a puzzle consisting of a toy
wheel, with say six spokes and with a hole through the centre or hub, and a
doubled cord having a disc fastened to the knotted ends.
For the purpose of our invention we pass the loop end of the doubled cord
through the centre hole and then interlace the spokes alternately, the cord being
wrapped round the last spoke and returned in a corresponding manner through the
spokes and the hole, the loop being opened out and passed over the disc. The cord
is then pulled tight, the button or disc being left hanging from the centre hole.
The puzzle is how to get the cord away from the wheel without undoing the knot
by which the disc is secured and this is accomplished by passing the looped end
of the cord through the spokes and hole and over the disc and returned in a
corresponding manner, a pull of the cord freeing it from the wheel.
