  • Publication number: 20140183822
    Abstract: A bag tossing game comprised of a selectively rotatable wheel target suspended on a frame and controllable by an adjustable brake. As the game is played, players take turns tossing projectiles at the wheel target. As the projectiles contact the wheel, kinetic energy from the tossed projectile is imparted onto the wheel based on the speed and trajectory of the projectile which may, in turn, cause the wheel to rotate. Further, a projectile that lands on the wheel may also alter the weight distribution of previously tossed projectiles still on the wheel, which may be located in various bins formed along the wheel's circumference, thereby causing the wheel to rotate in either direction. Depending on the wheel's direction of rotation, previously tossed projectiles may slide off of the wheel, or conversely, keep other projectiles ‘in-play’, where they will be scored accordingly.

  • Publication number: 20070292067
    Abstract: An annular component, such as the inner race of an antifriction bearing, fits over a shaft with a slip fit, and then is secured with set screws that bear against an internal band that forms part of the component. The band, in turn, bears against the surface of the shaft. The band has detached ends, which lie midway between the set screws and may be wedge-shaped and radially overlapped, so that when the set screws are turned down, the wedge-shaped ends ride over each other and aid in securing the component to the shaft.
