  • Patent number: 4127273
    Abstract: This invention affords the public a game that simulates a round of golf with each player being exposed to the same degree as to the chance elements. Every player has individual marking elements for use in his playing the course and in his pursuing the chance game squares in which pursuit he gains or loses play money through the drawing of chance cards that are also related to the round of golf. The game board provides a simulated golf course and said game squares. Associated with these are a plurality of shot cards, a plurality of chance cards, a plurality of play money and control elements for determining various moves on the game squares and various golf shots.

  • Patent number: 4102831
    Abstract: This invention relates to a method of imparting anisotropy to polymeric foams and to the resultant products. By this invention enhanced mechanical properties are produced in polymeric foams such properties being, for example, compressive yield strengths, modular tensile strengths, and the like. Importantly, other properties of enhanced value are achieved, as for example, improved thermal conductivity and enhanced burning rates.The process involved comprises mixing in liquid form various components of the foam which is to be produced in a foaming step which involves the action of the components in the presence of a foaming agent that effects the foam expansion, and mixed with these liquid mixtures is a low level concentration of relatively short fibers, one-half inch or less, the fibers being made from either an inorganic or organic material with fiber glass or aluminum fibers being preferred.

  • Patent number: 4019265
    Abstract: This invention provides a unitary blank which is rectangular-like in shape with the sides and the ends of the rectangle being modified so that when the one end and part of the sides are sewn together with an elastic thread in accordance with this invention it is readily formed into a shoe cover which fits snugly a large variety of sizes of shoes. The blank has, in effect, three parts which are the top section, the bottom section and the two side sections. The top section comprises two angularly flared portions each portion extending from a point near the center of the top and going toward its respective side section at a desired angle as is explained hereinafter. The bottom section comprises two rounded sections each extending toward the side section adjacent to it, and the two side sections are portions each of which is in effect a reversing curve joining the rounded bottom section with its related top section.

  • Patent number: 3984100
    Abstract: There is provided by this invention an apparatus that can be placed on a flat surface and used conveniently for exercising the human foot under a variety of conditions. Beneath a support for the foot is positioned an element that affords pivotable relationship between the support and the flat surface, and fixed to the support there is at least one means for receiving an attachment for varying the conditions, such as the weight and the angle of use during the exercising. In other words, the attachments subject the foot during the exercising to such conditions as the amount of force or the amount of tilting that the foot must apply in order to activate the exercising device.The support for the foot can be in the form of a flat plate, generally made of wood or a plastic, underneath of which is positioned a rounded or ball-like member to allow for the said pivotable relationship at different positions.

  • Patent number: 3960207
    Abstract: A plurality of hollow, disc-like containers are each filled with a thermal energy storage material and placed in a stacked array. Each of the disc-like containers has a hole in the center and resembles a flat doughnut. A fluid such as air is directed radially inward between the container comprising the stacked array of containers and is exhausted through the central holes which together form a conduit. This effects a more efficient heat transfer between the thermal energy storage material and the surrounding fluid. In other embodiments described, the containers may assume various disc-like shapes such as double convex, plano-convex, concavo-convex and the like, thereby to achieve a more uniform heat transfer between the surrounding fluid and the thermal storage material as a whole.

  • Patent number: 3943838
    Abstract: There is provided by this invention a device for holding solid materials while affording passage of liquids through the device which has an element that is open at the top and at the bottom, there being attachable to the element at its bottom walls a plate which in operative position spans the four walls at the bottom and is closely positioned to, but out of contact, with the bottom edges of the four walls and thus affords a gap for the ingress and egress of liquids.

  • Patent number: 3942271
    Abstract: A housing having a V-shaped cross-section is adapted to be positioned over the teeth of a backhoe bucket. An earth moving blade is secured to the lowermost portion of the housing. Lugs are secured to the inside surfaces of adjoining teeth of the backhoe bucket. A retaining bar is inserted through apertures formed in the front and back faces of the housing to engage the lugs between the teeth and thereby retain the receptacle on the tooth portion of the backhoe to permit earth moving and grading operations.
