  • Patent number: 11395955
    Abstract: A board game is provided having a seven-by-seven play area and ten player tokens for each player. Each player's tokens are positioned on the play area in two rows of five along opposing sides of the play area. Players alternate turns, taking up to five orthogonal movements from one playing space to another on each turn, the five movements being allocated across up to five of the player's player tokens. When a player token is orthogonally surrounded on at least three sides by opposing player tokens, that player token is removed from the play area. Play continues until one player has only two player tokens remaining on the play area, at which time the opposing player is declared the winner.

  • Patent number: 7836537
    Abstract: A toothbrush with independently mobile bristles comprises a toothbrush body with a handle section, a head section and a neck section, with a long axis there through. A plurality of individual, linear slots extends from a top surface of the head section and terminates there within. The individual slots are angled to the long axis of the toothbrush body. A bristle assembly is movably positioned in each slot of the head section with a bristle group extending exterior to the top surface thereof. When brushing teeth, movement of the toothbrush body in a first direction, parallel with the long axis thereof, causes movement of the bristle assemblies in a direction essentially perpendicular to the long axis of the toothbrush body. Movement of the toothbrush body in the opposite direction causes movement of the bristle assemblies in an opposite direction, also essentially perpendicular to the long axis of the toothbrush body.
