  • Patent number: 5288071
    Abstract: A game apparatus which consists of a substantially rectangular base having a flat surface. A vertical plate is suspended over an end of the base by a support and has a hoop horizontally attached to the plate. A catapult is pivotally mounted to the opposite end of the base and has a receptacle for holding a ball which can be projected toward the hoop. An air nozzle, which is connected to a pressurized air supply, can be used by an opponent for deflecting the path of the ball after it has been projected from the catapult.

  • Patent number: 4684918
    Abstract: A motor vehicle turn signal system has features to indicate lane changing. The system includes a flasher that supplies pulsated power to the conventional turn signal lever switch. Right and left push button switches are mounted to the steering wheel. Each button switch is linked to a relay coil. The relay coil, when energized, connects the flasher directly to the signal lights, bypassing the conventional turn signal lever switch. The connection between the flasher and the conventional turn signal lever switch is broken while the relay coil is energized. In one version, a transmitter mounted to the steering wheel transmits a signal to a receiver in the vehicle when a button switch is depressed.
