  • Patent number: 6783128
    Abstract: A card game that is played by spectators watching or listening to a live baseball game. The game consists of a deck of cards equally distributed between two to nine players. Each card is associated with one of nine possible specific end batting events that can occur to a batter when batting. Prior to the first pitch, the card players examine their cards and consider the likelihood that the action or event depicted on one of their cards will occur to the next batter, taking into consideration the skill of the batter, the pitcher, and the game situation. The card player who holds the card that matches the actual action or end batting event that occurs to the batter, wins the round. The cards are then reshuffled and distributed to the card players before the first pitch is delivered to the next batter.

  • Patent number: 6382474
    Abstract: A valve assembly is disclosed for use in an aerosol spray can capable of spraying viscous materials or materials with large particulates without clogging or packing like traditional aerosol spray cans designed for spraying texture materials. The valve opening is located at the bottom of the assembly rather than at the top, thus allowing highly-viscous materials, such as a fire suppressant material, or materials having large particulates, such as stucco, to be sprayed from an aerosol spray can without clogging of the valves. The valve assembly can spray materials that more closely resemble the original surface texture found on textured and stucco-covered walls and ceilings of buildings and structures.
