Patent number: 6715255Abstract: A foldable truss member suitable for commercial displays includes a plurality of side members that are adjacently hinged together. The side members include support members and bridging members having extensions. The side members are joined into a foldable structure with a hinge member between the support member and extensions of adjacent side members. The truss includes a locking frame that is removably attached to ends of the side members. A display structure can be formed by connecting a locking frame between two truss members.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2002Date of Patent: April 6, 2004Assignee: Interlock Structures International, Inc.Inventors: Ralph L. Schipani, Richard K. Strayer, Mark Brauer, Walter Croll, Paul Miklautsch, Patrick M.

Patent number: 6322449Abstract: The present invention comprises both a system and a method for mechanically depressing a key of an underlying keyboard in response to a user input. The system preferably comprises a computer system and a mechanical interface device. The mechanical interface preferable mounts on top of the underlying keyboard and preferably includes a three dimensional representational object configured for manipulation by the user. This computer system preferably comprises a processor, a display coupled to the processor, and the underlying keyboard coupled to the processor. The computer system preferably shows a corresponding image in response to manipulation of the three dimensional representational object by the user. By utilizing the three dimensional representational object instead of a keyboard as the user's interface, the present invention gives the user a simpler, more realistic computer interface.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 1998Date of Patent: November 27, 2001Assignee: Klitsner Industrial Design, LLCInventors: Dan Klitsner, Jeff Argentine, Brian Clemens, Gary Levenberg

Publication number: 20010009866Abstract: A game apparatus for one or more users includes at least two input devices each of which requires a mechanical action for actuation, and a controller coupled to the input devices. The controller is operable to select at least one of the input devices and to send a command signal to the selected input device to de-actuate the selected input device. The controller also is operable to define an actuation time period and to detect whether a selected input device is actuated within the actuation time period after the input device is de-actuated. If the selected input device is actuated within the actuation time period, the controller is operable to select at least one other input device and to send a command signal to the other input device to de-actuate the other input device.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 7, 2001Publication date: July 26, 2001Inventors: Daniel B. Klitsner, Brian Clemens

Patent number: 6209845Abstract: A keyboard has a key array including keys, a top surface having a front edge and a back edge, and a bottom surface positioned opposite the top surface. An interface device for use with the keyboard includes a base, a front standoff coupled to the base and having a keyboard-contacting portion, and a back standoff coupled to the base and having a keyboard-contacting portion. The keyboard-contacting portions are spaced such that, when the base is positioned over the key array, the key array is positioned between the keyboard-contacting portions so as to align the base in a front-to-back orientation relative to the key array. The keyboard-contacting portions are both supported by the top surface of the keyboard. The interface device also includes a key-contacting mechanism mounted on the base in a fixed orientation relative to the standoffs, and a coupling mechanism for removably coupling the interface device to the keyboard.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 1999Date of Patent: April 3, 2001Assignee: Klitsner Industrial Design, LLCInventors: Dan Klitsner, Brian Clemens, Michael Liebowitz, Jeff Argentine
