Abstract: A machine for relieving stress and anxiety in the absence of any electric field having a transporting device with a supportive surface adapted to carry a human body through a circular movement. A rotary drive mechanism moves the transport device along a circular path. In one embodiment the supportive surface is elongate and carries the human body in the reclining position. In this embodiment the transport device rotates in a vertical plane about a horizontal axis. In another embodiment the transport device is in the form of a chair adapted to carry a sitting human body. In the latter embodiment, the chair rotates in a horizontal plane about a vertical axis. A mechanical linkage is connected to the transport device to maintain the same directional orientation of the supportive surface as the transport device moves along the circular path. A method for relieving stress in a human body using the two forms of the machine is also taught.

Abstract: A kit for playing a game including a game board having at each corner four large squares, each of which is divided into a number of small, numbered squares of equal size. The large squares are of equal size and have the same number of small squares. Two of the large squares are checkered while the other two are of uniform but different colors. The game kit includes a first set of game pieces of a first colored numbered from one to a number equal to the number of small squares in each large square. A second set of game pieces of a second color is numbered from one to the same number as the first set. There are also provided two dice for randomly determining two numbers in the range from one to six. Preferably the number of game pieces in each set is thirty-six and the game pieces are flat, square pieces having horizontal dimensions corresponding to those of the small squares. A further set of game pieces that are unnumbered can be provided as option chips.
