  • Patent number: 4551948
    Abstract: A glass shaping apparatus having a housing including a work surface integrally formed to the housing top and a variable-speed drive motor mounted within the housing with a drive shaft, including a grinding surface, protruding through a penetration onto the work surface. The motor includes a manual rotatable thumbwheel for adjusting the speed of the rotating grinding surface for the type of glass being shaped. The sloping design of the work surface accelerates the escape of byproducts and provides complete support to the glass. Attachments for high-speed rotary sawing and engraving of glass at 10,000 revolutions per minute are available.

  • Patent number: 4190252
    Abstract: A multiple drop target assembly used in an amusement game having a playfield over which balls are moved. A frame mounted below the playfield carries a plurality of targets in side-by-side relationship, with the target heads projecting upwardly through apertures in the playfield. A torsionally rigid reset bar is operated to pivot control arms which in turn are coupled with the targets which are elevated to raised positions where they are releasably latched. When the heads are struck by balls, the targets are unlatched and moved downwardly to lowered positions by spring action. The operating arms of control switches project through apertures formed in the targets so that vertical movement of individual targets actuates the associated switch. The assembly is comprised of modular components for low cost manufacture and to facilitate installation, maintenance and repair.
