Abstract: A universal foldable lamp shade cover which includes a uniformly pleated rectangular sheet of thin, somewhat rigid yet bendable material having a plurality of side-by-side slender elongated panels integrally connected one to another in accordion fashion along a fold line between each panel. The side margins of the pleated sheet are connected to form a somewhat tubular member which is sized, when reduced in circumference at its upper end, to be held in place primarily by a strip of double-sided adhesive tape adhered on one side around the upper perimeter opening of a lamp shade. The lamp shade cover is then adhered in position over the lamp shade to the exposed surface of the adhesive transfer tape.

Abstract: A universal foldable lamp shade overshade which includes a uniformly pleated rectangular sheet of thin, somewhat rigid yet bandeable material having a plurality of side-by-side slender elongated panels integrally connected one to another in accordion fashion along a fold line between each panel. A hole is formed through each panel adjacent its upper end through which a draw string is positioned in in-and-out fashion through alternate holes. The side margins of the pleated sheet are connected to form a somewhat tubular member which is sized, when reduced in circumference at its upper end by tightening the drawstring, to be held in place primarily by gravity over and substantially covering a lamp shade.

Abstract: A variable geometric board game playable by two or more persons. The game utilizes the six sides of a cube as playing surfaces. The cube is constructed from articulated subcubes that can be rotated about each of three mutually perpendicular axes for changing the playing surfaces. Each of the subcubes has an aperture for receiving marking pegs in accordance with the game rules. The marking pegs are storable in a base unit which interlocks with the subcubes.

Abstract: A tumbling toy having an end-over-end tumbling action and including a hollow housing having spaced end caps, an outer sleeve and an inner tubular member joined to the end caps and receiving a weighted ball for rolling action therein, the weighted ball having rolling movement between the end caps to produce the tumbling end-over-end action of the housing when an exterior force is applied thereto or when the tumbling toy is placed on a downwardly inclined surface.
