  • Patent number: 5615531
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a packing tape sticking apparatus for jointing butt portions of two pieces of a sealing machine or a box construction machine and for jointing butt portions of two pieces of corrugated fibreboard containers, wherein a cutter is usually escaped to a storing position and is protruded to a cutting position only when a sealing operation is performed. When a tape sticking plate is located in a sticking position of the packing tape through a third elastic member, a first elastic member arranged between the cutter and a tape pressing member is under a natural condition which is not elastically transformed, and the cutter is escaped to the storing position by an urging force of a second elastic member arranged between the cutter and a side plate.

  • Patent number: 5098094
    Abstract: A ball game practice apparatus having a ball, a ground support member and elastic means attached to the ground support member for limiting a traveling distance of the ball. The elastic means further includes a frame connecting portion fixed to the frame and a ball connecting portion connected at one end to the frame connecting portion and fixed at the other end to the ball. The ball connecting portion includes at least two respective pluralities of strings grouped in separate portions, the elasticity of the portions being different due to the member of strings in on group being different from the number of strings in the other group.

  • Patent number: 4902012
    Abstract: A ball game practice apparatus having a ball supported at a lower end of a dangling elastic member suspended from a middle portion of an elongate lateral elastic member supported by and fixed at its ends to an elongated frame having ends thereof held above a support surface and a practice board having a rebounding board at a front face thereof. The frame includes downward displacement limiting members disposed between the ends of the lateral elastic member for limiting downward displacements of the dangling elastic member. The rebounding board includes a plurality of concave-convex faces positioned adjacent at least one end of the frame.
