Abstract: A maze apparatus adapted for use as a walk-through recreational facility. The apparatus includes a supporting surface carrying a plurality of substantially upright partitions which serve to define the maze course having a plurality of interconnected pathways along which movement of persons through the maze is restricted. Persons enter the course through an entrance opening into one of the pathways and progress along a bewildering array of interconnected pathways to gain egress from the apparatus course through a suitable exit. The partition panels can readily be arranged for rescheduling the maze course which includes a predetermined shortest route having vital sections which must be traversed in order to reach the exit. A platform is provided in one embodiment which enables spectators standing thereon to view indicia carried by patrons walking through the maze apparatus to the end that the spectators can assist in directing the patrons along the pathways leading to the exit.

Abstract: A pumping apparatus actuated by waves in a large body of water for pumping water to a remote location. The pumping apparatus is bouyant and comprises a barge structure carrying a compression system having a plurality of pumping units disposed substantially colinearly along the length of the barge structure. The pumping units are actuated by float members which rise and fall responsive to waves in the water body in which the pumping apparatus is disposed. To this end, each of the float members is connected to a piston head of one of the pumping units through a linkage system. Actuation of the piston heads serves to force water under pressure through a suitable discharge pipe to a remote location such as a reservoir where the water can be converted into a usable form of energy.
