Abstract: A ball and cup game or exercise device arranged to be supported on the waist belt of a human, wherein by proper movement of the human body the ball is caused to be moved into the cup. The device comprehends a unitary structure having limbs engaging the waist belt, the front limb supporting a cup retaining the ball, which is held by a strand to the cup, upon proper movement of the body the ball moving into the cup either directly or by rebounding from the front limb.
Abstract: A machine for forming foundry moulds includes a turret supporting spaced mould frames, each of the latter having a mould portion formed therein by rotation of the turret toward a sand filling and compacting station and away therefrom. The completed mould portion may be moved to a position where a core can be set thereon and then moved to a position where the mould portions are positioned one atop another to make a stack of finished and cored moulds. When the moulds are not cored, a pair of said filling and compacting stations are provided, the turret oscillating or rotating unidirectionally from a loading position to a delivery position. Where a pair of filling and compacting stations are provided for forming cope and drag mould portions, the turret oscillates to place the two mould portions in proper position to form a mould comprised of cope and drag portions.
Abstract: A light reflecting and shielding module for a suspended ceiling or the like is disclosed. The module is enabled to be shipped or stored in flattened condition and is comprised of a pair of planar rail members with at least one baffle member hingedly connected thereto and extending transversely thereof. Upon erection of the rail members to parallel spaced relationship, the centroid of the mass of the baffle is spaced from the axis of hinge means connecting same to the rail members, so that upon erection of the rail members the mass centroid of the baffle causes same to hang pendently from the spaced and parallel rail members.
Abstract: A system for drying air comprises a pair of desiccant containing vessels alternately connected in a drying step, one of the vessels being regenerated while the other is removing moisture from air movable therethrough, with circuit means bypassing air from the air source to one of the vessels for regeneration of same, a heater in the bypass means for heating the air after being bypassed to said vessel and then passing the air to the other vessel, and a cooling circuit in shunt with said circuit means for cooling desiccant in said one vessel and passing cooled air to said other vessel.
