Abstract: Disclosed is a ring and hook game played by swinging a metal ring attached to a flexible line towards a pair of hooks projecting from a box mounted on a wall. When the ring successfully engages the hooks the ring closes an electrical circuit, activating a light and buzzer connected in parallel within the box. Attachment of the flexible line to a ceiling permits automatic return of the ring after a missed attempt, and the location of the box and the point of attachment of the line, together with appropriate selection of line length, prevent the ring from striking the front wall of the box. The degree of difficulty of the game may easily be varied by rotation of one or both hooks.

Abstract: An electric single-pass drip-type coffeemaker includes a plastic base having an upper half with an opening surrounded by a downward lip. A metal warming plate closes the opening and is laterally immobilized by downwardly projecting spaced bosses around the opening. A central upward protuberance on the lower half of the base terminates in a high temperature silicone pad which engages the underside of the warming plate and presses the plate up against a gasket seated in a groove in the lip to vertically immobilize the warming plate between the lip and the silicone pad when the upper and lower base halves are secured together. A U-shaped metallic extrusion is welded or soldered to the underside of the warming plate and includes an upper passage containing an electric heating element controlled by an adjustable thermostat secured to the extrusion and a lower water heating passage connected to the cold water reservoir and hot water discharge spout of the coffeemaker.
