Abstract: A rotatable supporting structure adapted to withstand substantial intense heat and provide for the rotation of a workpiece without lateral displacement thereof during the heating of the workpiece within a furnace, including a base having a substantially planar upper surface, and a pin located on the upper surface of the base extending upwardly therefrom. The supporting structure also includes an upper member having an opening at substantially the center thereof, and of a diameter slightly larger than that of the cross sectional size of the pin. The upper member is provided with a plurality of holes or slots into which a plurality of supporting dowels may be disposed, in a variety of positions, thereby varying the space therebetween so as to support a workpiece without engaging the upper surface of the upper member and provide for the rotation thereof.
Abstract: A game including a base, nine elongated pegs disposed substantially perpendicularly to the base and arranged on the base in spaced relation in three discrete groupings. There is further provided a plurality of pieces each having a hole therethrough which is adapted to accommodate any one of the pegs. The game is readily adaptable to various types of scoring and hence, the present invention provides a game which may be played at various degrees of difficulty. In one embodiment, the pieces are provided in two sets of equal number and contrasting colors and an extra "wild" piece of a third discrete color is also provided. In a further embodiment, the pieces in the two sets are selectively provided with additional first, second and third indicia to subdivide each of the sets into three subsets.
