Abstract: A simulated baseball game apparatus having an upwardly facing playing surface with a home plate thereon, a pitching mechanism that rolls the ball in the general direction of home plate and a batting mechanism. A rotatable circular plate in front of the pitching mechanism enables the direction of the rolling ball to be changed. The device for rolling the ball can be pivoted about a vertical axis in order that the player can control the initial direction of the rolling ball. The bat member has an elongate portion extending generally parallel to the playing surface and a ball striking extension that extends downwardly. The bat member can be swung about an internally movable generally vertical axis extending through one end of the elongate portion.
Abstract: An architectural glass unit comprises a glass light having an inner surface and a flexible structural gasket extending along edges of the glass light and located adjacent the inner surface. A thin adhesive layer bonds the glass light firmly to the structural gasket. A supporting frame extends along the same edges of the glass light and is located on the side of the gasket opposite the glass light. This frame includes means for mechanically fastening the structural gasket to the frame. In one embodiment, a bonding material such as structural silicone directly bonds the glass light to the supporting frame and is arranged along one side of the gasket. L-shaped flanges integrally formed on the frame and rolled into sealing engagement with the gasket are used for the mechanical fastening.
