Abstract: A flat, quoit-like game piece to be tossed at a target pin and having a plurality of target receiving recesses, each recess formed with a pair of spaced and confronting pin engaging hooks and an angular deflector point formed on the quoit between each pair of hooks to provide many scoring possibilities depending on the skill of a player.
Abstract: An outdoor game target construction to be hand pressed or impact-driven into a ground area forming the field surface, a series of targets being disposed in spaced apart locations on said surface and each when aimed at and successfully struck by a game ball rolling on said surface will emit a distinctive sound indicative of the fact that it had been hit. The invention also includes an improved and simplified means for mechanically mounting a sound producing cylinder to a ground stake whereby the cylinder will have universal swinging movement upon the stake insuring that the target will emit a sound when struck by a ball aimed at it from any angle.
Abstract: This invention relates to the art of manifolding and collating and is more particularly directed to an improved arrangement for adhesively securing together a plurality of superimposed sheets.
Abstract: The invention concerns a device for selectively changing the colors of the irises for the eyes of store manikins to coordinate the iris colors with the decor of the garniture to be displayed on the manikin and with the color of the hair piece to be placed on the manikin's head. The device has a releasable means to hold pairs of irises in selected position in the eye openings of the head comprising a manually operable toothed wheel having its teeth engaged by the interior surface of the hair piece that is to be finally placed on the head of the manikin.
Abstract: A toy glider construction adjustable to form a split Delta wing design to be propelled upwardly into the atmosphere by a sling or catapult and provided with an airflow sensor responsive to glider deceleration which atuomatically converts the glider wings from propelled conditions to soaring flight positions.
Abstract: The invention provides a tamper-proof pin tumbler lock construction cooperative with an alarm means and protective against unauthorized picking or core drilling activities on the lock while securing normal key opening and closing procecures therefor. The construction energizes an alarm if the unauthorized activities exceed a predetermined time limit required for normal key opening and closing procedures.
Abstract: A level indicator for containers is disclosed that is adapted for use in granulate storage tanks and has a laterally collapsable sleeve disposed vertically within the tank for progressive embedment in the granulate as the tank is filled. The indicator also has a flexible, longitudinally contractile member freely hung inside, and coextensive with, the sleeve. A releasable means supports the contractile member within the sleeve and as granulate flows around and collapses the sleeve against the contractile member there is provided a sensing means adapted to support the free portion of the member upon operation of the releasable means. A scale means is associated with the sensing means to record the volume of granulate in the tank.
Abstract: An automobile body construction of the type to convert a conventional four passenger sedan to a three, full bench seated, six door limosine that will conveniently seat and convey nine passengers in comfort; the limosine being custom made for use as an airport bus, funeral car, or the like.A special center door and its window glass is provided to secure economies of manufacture for the custom limosine body construction.
Abstract: An automatic system adapted to store, select for dispensation and count dispensed articles such as controlled drugs especially useful for the storage, dispensing and keeping of accurate, tamper proof records of controlled drugs in hospitals.A novel programmed strip for the system is also disclosed.
Abstract: An oxygen tank holding device for ready attachment to most standard, foldable wheelchairs. The device is collapsible and includes a tank receiving basket and a pair of struts detachably supported on the wheelchair and pivotally connected to opposed sides of the basket; flexible cable means being provided to maintain the basket in a vertical position when the device is in operative position on a wheelchair. The device frees respiratory patients from confinement by providing them with available oxygen mounted on their wheelchairs.
Abstract: The utilization of a pilot SCR in the control circuitry adapted to trigger a pair of SCRs in the power circuit of a battery charging system to maintain automatic off-on control of the system at full battery charged capacity whenever the battery voltage is or falls below its fully charged condition.
Abstract: A composite mid-sole especially adapted for incorporation into platform shoes and consisting of a rigid heel and shank part interconnected with a flexible forepart. The mid-sole parts are composed of moldable plastic material of differing densities, the composite mid-sole being a unit to be lasted to a shoe upper and a shoe outsole in a subsequent manufacturing operation. An improved fastening means conjoining the heel and shank part to the forepart of the mid-sole is disclosed.
Abstract: A closure structure for containers, especially corrugated cases and boxes, wherein one outer closure flap is provided with a bodily reduced tab projected from its longitudinally extending edge portion, said tab being adapted to underlie the edge portion of a second outer closure flapin container closed position, whereby a single bond line of hot melt adhesive applied to the outer surfaces of the tab and aligned portions of the inner closure flaps serves when the second flap is pressed to closed position to secure together the outer and inner closure flaps.Another aspect of the closure comprises crushing the tab on the one closure flap and the longitudinally extending edge portion of the second closure flap to provide square stacking with other cases having like closure structures.
Abstract: An improved basketball practice device to be attached to and beneath the hoops of existing basketball goals and adapted to direct basketballs passed through said hoops to a play area in front of said goals to improve the shooting ability of youths.
