Abstract: A novel game board comprises a base board (100) with rotating tiers (105, 405, 410, and 415) which rotate on a shaft (430) and bearings (402, 404, and 407) or a lazy susan (115), a pointer 120 or a rotating pointer knob (425) which points at numbers (305) and game fields (310) on a tier (300). Progress through the game is indicated by individual players' tokens (135). Game cards and play money (140, 320, 325, 330, and 335) are also provided. Multiple results can arise from the same players' moves. Hidden game fields (700) under the edges of square or rectangular tiers (405, 410, and 415) provide added excitement. Instructions in the game fields (300, 406, etc.) can apply to a single player or to all players simultaneously, resulting in advantages or disadvantages for one or all. No dice are used to play, only a rotating pointer knob (425) or a rotating tier 105 with a stationary pointer (120) are required to urge progress through the game.
Abstract: A hand held garden tool that utilizes rechargeable batteries and a variable speed, reversible motor as its power source. A drive shaft housing serves as a long handle member and contains a drive shaft. The drive shaft and its housing are connected to, and removable from the power unit. The drive shaft extends to a small, compact drive assembly which rotates a short shaft extending to each side. Each shaft holds two tine discs. The curved tines on the tine discs rotate closely around the perimeter of the drive assembly to speedily and thoroughly pulverize the soil and eliminate weeds.
Abstract: A handheld detachable gas pressure gauge shaped like a hypodermic syringe. The gas pressure gauge has an upper pair of side arms mounted perpendicular to an inner cylinder and a lower pair of side arms each below and parallel to each of the upper pair of side arms. A socket in the inner cylinder has pivotal gripping fingers for grasping about a gas pressure valve. Compressing the upper and lower arms together moves the gripping fingers inwardly to grip about the valve which depresses a spring loaded valve core and allows pressure to be measured. Various embodiments use an extendible metering stick, a digital readout, and a dial gauge/Bourdon tube to measure the pressure. Extra attachments include an angled head for improved accessibility to valves located in confined areas, a side adapter socket for allowing gas to be added, a purge button to allow the gauge to release excessive gas pressure and a locking lever for allowing the gas pressure gauge to remain clamped about the valve.
