Abstract: A spatial puzzle game comprising a three dimensional array of transparent containers is disclosed. The containers are either fixed or movable relative to one another and each container has at least one hole it its surface. The movable containers are adapted for rotation about orthogonal axes. The holes of adjacent containers can be aligned by rotating the movable containers about their axes. Objects placed inside of the containers can be passed between containers when the holes of adjacent containers are aligned.

Abstract: A self-propelled model vehicle adapted for use on a closed loop raceway having a guide slot coextensive therewith is provided with a guide arm including a downwardly depending guide pin that engages with the guide slot of the raceway. The guide slot defines the boundary between two adjacent lanes of the raceway. The guide arm is controlled by a motor for lateral movement. The lateral movement of the guide arm forces the guide pin against a side of the guide slot to effect the lateral displacement of the model vehicle into the adjacent lane of the raceway. Also provided is a raceway layout comprising a plurality of modular sections each section having an integral guide slot therein. In the assembled mode the guide slot defines a closed loop guide way for engaging a slot car.

Abstract: A board game for simulating a sport such as basketball or ice hockey in which the game board has a flat playing surface on which can be moved a number of playing members that can manipulate a small object such as a puck or ball. Each member includes a main body portion extending upwardly from the playing surface and an object manipulating portion pivotally connected to the body portion. A flexible line can be used to pivot the manipulating portion relative to the body portion. Each member has a short vertical shaft that extends through a slot in the game board and a first gear is mounted on the bottom end thereof. Horizontal rod mechanisms are used to move the members along their respective slots. The rod mechanism comprises a hollow tube on which a second gear is fixedly mounted. This second gear is arranged to turn the first gear when the tube is turned about its axis. The line extends through the tube and there is a sliding control member at the outer end of the tube for pulling the line.

Abstract: A simulated baseball game apparatus having an upwardly facing playing surface with a home plate thereon, a pitching mechanism that rolls the ball in the general direction of home plate and a batting mechanism. A rotatable circular plate in front of the pitching mechanism enables the direction of the rolling ball to be changed. The device for rolling the ball can be pivoted about a vertical axis in order that the player can control the initial direction of the rolling ball. The bat member has an elongate portion extending generally parallel to the playing surface and a ball striking extension that extends downwardly. The bat member can be swung about an internally movable generally vertical axis extending through one end of the elongate portion.

Abstract: An architectural glass unit comprises a glass light having an inner surface and a flexible structural gasket extending along edges of the glass light and located adjacent the inner surface. A thin adhesive layer bonds the glass light firmly to the structural gasket. A supporting frame extends along the same edges of the glass light and is located on the side of the gasket opposite the glass light. This frame includes means for mechanically fastening the structural gasket to the frame. In one embodiment, a bonding material such as structural silicone directly bonds the glass light to the supporting frame and is arranged along one side of the gasket. L-shaped flanges integrally formed on the frame and rolled into sealing engagement with the gasket are used for the mechanical fastening.

Abstract: A glass insulating sealed unit suitable for capless or stopless glazing comprising two spaced-apart glass plates and spacers to separate and join the glass plates arranged about the entire periphery of the plates and between the plates. The spacers are adapted for connection of the unit to adjoining support members in order to support and fix the unit. The preferred spaces each comprise a generally channel-shaped member having its elongate recess open along the edge of the unit. Structural sealant on two opposite sides of each spacer bond each of said sides to the adjacent inside surface of a respective glass plate. An elongate strip of compound providing both dessicant and vapor seal extends between the glass plates and along inside surface of the spacer. Each spacer is preferably connected to a support member by means of flat clips evenly spaced along the spacer and threaded connectors extending through holes in said clips.

Abstract: A glass insulating sealed unit suitable for capless or stopless glazing comprising two spaced-apart glass plates and spacers to separate and join the glass plates arranged about the entire periphery of the plates and between the plates. The spacers are adapted for connection of the unit to adjoining support members in order to support and fix the unit. One spacer embodiment includes a first section forming substantially enclosed elongate cavity for holding dessicant, which section is positioned between the plates adjacent edges thereof, and second and third sections in form of integral extensions of the first section forming a channel shaped recess, open along the edge. The spacer can include an expansion mechanism to permit one glass plate to move perpendicularly towards or away from the other plate, thereby equalizing the pressures between and outside of the plates. A preferred form of spacer is connected to a support member by means of connectors or clips evenly spaced along the spacer.

Abstract: A glazing system is provided in which box section beams support glazing bars by means of a series of longitudinal flanges having undercuts which receive longitudinal flanges on the glazing bars. Some of the undercuts are arranged in arcs centered on further undercuts in adjacent flanges so that the angle between the bars and the beams, or between two glazing panels supported by a single beam, can be adjusted during assembly. The system is suitable both for roofs and for curtain walling.
