Abstract: A modular table tennis game includes a plurality of paddles, a table tennis ball, and an adjustable table, or multiple adjustable tables. The tables may be mounted on a support system such as a tripod or other support structure that allows the tables to be adjusted in height and tilt. The top of the tables may have an opening or openings larger than the table tennis ball penetrating therethrough.

Abstract: An apparatus for carrying one or more suspended items includes a unitary disc-shaped object having first and second arcuate portions each with first and second ends, and an intermediate portion extending between and interconnecting the first and second arcuate portions. The apparatus further includes a strap attached to the disc-shaped object. The first and second arcuate portions together define a generally circular profile of the disc-shaped object. Respective first ends of the first and second arcuate portions are disposed adjacently in opposed relation to one another and respective second ends of the first and second arcuate portions are disposed adjacently in opposed relation to one another, whereby passages are defined between adjacent corresponding ends of the first and second arcuate portions through which a handle of a bag may be received.

Abstract: A soap bubble fountain includes a soap holder that contains a first portion of a soap and water mixture, a tubular column extending upward from the soap holder and whose lower end contains a second portion of the soap and water mixture, a catch basin disposed at a lower portion of the tubular column, and an air source arranged to inject air into second portion of the soap and water mixture, thereby creating soap bubbles. The soap bubbles are forced through the bubble openings in the upper end of the tubular column and are subsequently collected in the catch basin.

Abstract: A soap bubble fountain includes a soap holder adapted to contain a soap and water mixture, a plurality of tubular columns extending upward from the soap holder, a catch basin, and an air source arranged to inject air into the soap and water mixture, thereby creating soap bubbles. An upper end of each of the tubular columns is open to provide a bubble opening corresponding to each tubular column. The catch basin is disposed at a lower portion of the tubular columns. The soap bubbles are distributed among and forced through the bubble openings corresponding to the plurality of tubular columns and are subsequently collected in the catch basin.

Abstract: A method of interacting with a soap bubble fountain, having at least one tubular column extending above a catch basin and provided with a sculpting tool, includes generating soap bubbles with the soap bubble fountain, actuating an air source to force the bubbles from an upper end of the at least one tubular column, repeating the foregoing steps at least until a bubble sculpture is formed between the upper end of the at least one tubular column and the catch basin, and sculpting the bubble sculpture using the sculpting tool.

Abstract: A book covering includes a stretchable material, which completely extends over an outer face and side edges of each cover of a book, and reinforcing elements, which are disposed at localized areas of the stretchable material. The reinforcing elements include a resilient, pliable material.
