  • Patent number: 4577857
    Abstract: Apparatus for conducting arm wrestling (wrist pulling) contests between a pair of opposed contestants comprising a playing surface in which a lever arm is adapted for pivotal side-to-side motion. The opposed contestants each grip a laterally spaced portion of the lever arm in an attempt to force such to one side of its travel limit and against the opponent's urging. The ends of the lever arm are adapted to contact signal means extending above the playing surface at the opposite ends of the travel limit of such lever arm which are in turn activated upon contacting the lever arm so as to signal a contest winner.

  • Patent number: 4473182
    Abstract: A device for signaling the presence or absence of mail in mailboxes and the like. The device may be either furnished as a kit for retrofit of present mailboxes or in combination with a new mailbox. A signal member generally comprising a plate having reflector buttons mounted on opposite sides thereof is pivotally supported from a bracket in turn adapted for mounting upon the upper surface of the mailbox. The upper portion of the plate includes a forwardly downwardly extending arm terminating in a finger adapted for frictional engagement with a finger which forms the terminal portion of an arm rearwardly extending from the front door of the mailbox. When the fingers are in frictional engagement with each other, the plate is maintained in a generally horizontal attitude parallel to the top of the mailbox such that the reflectors are not generally visible.

  • Patent number: 4380201
    Abstract: A construction such as a building or the like in which banking transactions can be conducted in a more secure and businesslike manner. In essence, the structure is divided into a banking area and a teller's area by a security wall against which a plurality of individual booths are constructed in the banking area. Various communication and security means are provided in the booth such that the booth is locked from the teller's area such that robberies are initially discouraged and, if attempted, successfully foiled by the locking of the attempted robber in the booth to await security forces such as the police. In addition, the booths are each provided with a transaction opening in the security wall such that money, checks, etc. may pass between the teller's area and the booth. This transaction opening is adapted to be closed by a slidable door in the event that the opening is utilized to stage an attempted robbery.
