Abstract: A new and improved apparatus for signalling accuracy of a path of a projectile moving on a floor or ground surface includes an audible signal assembly located above and near floor or ground level. The audible signal assembly provides an audible signal when a target element of the assembly is hit by a projectile that moves along the floor or ground. A support assembly supports the audible signal assembly above and near enough to the floor or ground, such that the target element of the audible signal assembly can be hit by the moving projectile. The support assembly includes two triangular-shaped end units in which bases of the end units are supported by the floor or ground surface. Traverse rod supports are connected to the end units near apices of the end units. A traverse rod extends traversely between the end units and is supported by the traverse rod supports. The audible signal assembly is supported by the traverse rod.
Abstract: A new and improved wide area air removal apparatus includes at least one air duct that traverses a portion of the wide area and includes a plurality of apertures arrayed along the length of the air duct. An electric fan assembly is connected to the plural-aperture-including air duct for creating a vacuum in the plural-aperture-including air duct and for moving air from the wide area through the apertures and through the air duct to outside the air duct. The air that is removed from the wide area can be filtered and returned to the wide area; or it can be moved outside the wide area. The air that is removed from the wide area can be laden with smoke or other odor-bearing substances. The wide area can be a room in a building. The plural-aperture-including air duct may include a plurality of air duct branches. In addition, ash tray collars may be provided for placement circumferentially around ash trays. The ash tray collars include apertures for drawing in air adjacent to the ash trays.
Abstract: A new and improved automobile locator apparatus includes a base member adapted to fit onto a top edge of an automobile window, an identifier element, and an adjustable assembly, connected between the base member and the identifier element, for orienting the identifier element with respect to the base member at a variety of selectable orientations. The adjustable orientation assembly includes a first element containing a first uneven surface connected to the base member and a second element containing a second uneven surface connected to the identifier element. A spring urges the first element and the second element together when a selected orientation of the identifier element with respect to the base member has been made. The identifier element may be an internally illuminated flat panel that employs fiber optics. Indicia are placed on top of the internally illuminated flat panel element to provide for specific identification information.
