Abstract: A lenticular assembly moveable to present a series of images to the viewer accompanied by a synchronized audible message. The assembly may be pivotal or on a slidable surface such as a door panel. The message may be pre-recorded or a sound loop for playback or may be on a programmable sound card so it can be changed or adjusted to the image speed.

Abstract: A watch design that has a movable case that keeps the face of the watch visible regardless of the position of the wrist. In this way, a user can quickly see the watch face in the proper orientation so that the time can be quickly and correctly determined. There are several ways to accomplish this. The case can be mounted on a turntable that rotates on the y-axis. A frame containing the watch mechanism and display is hinged on said turntable and rotated vertically upon the x-axis described by the hinge-mounted frame mounted on said frame. Another embodiment uses a gimbaled point on which the face is free to rotate, much like a compass. In this embodiment, the watch case is weighted to that the face always moves to a readable position. Finally, the watch may include displays mounted in the link of a watchband.

Abstract: A lenticular display in association with a consumer article such as a beverage container positioned with respect to the container so that a series of images are presented to the user as the article is used in its normal manner such as when the user is engaged in drinking. The images may be accompanied by a synchronized audio message. In other embodiments, the image may be illuminated and may impart motion.

Abstract: A cover for fitting over the open end of a can, glass, cup or carton type beverage container which employs a straw extending into the container for siphoning liquid therefrom and an impeller mounted in a trough in the housing forming a part of the cover for connecting to and rotating a display device, the improvement including the utilization of an air stream into the cover and against the impeller created by the negative pressure created in the container upon withdrawal of beverage therefrom for rotating the impeller.

Abstract: An accumulator for oil, water and/or sea life comprising an elongated hull having an inlet at one end thereof and an outlet at the other end thereof with the inlet comprising a sluice gate. A cover comprising a float means is used for controlling the vertical position and buoyancy of the accumulator relative to an associated craft.

Abstract: Apparatus for removing an oil slick from a body of water through the action of gravity employing a platform supporting an accumulator which platform is substantially vertically movable relative to the surface of a body of water and a sluice gate either directly mounted on the accumulator or mounted on a tethered raft that is interconnected with the accumulator by a flexible hose for receiving portions of the oil slick.

Abstract: A drinking device adapted for interposition between two drinking straws. An impeller mounted inside the device is rotated by fluid drawn through the device by the user, the impeller turning an external vane for the amusement of the user.

Abstract: The device comprises an elongated hand supportable siphoning element which is adapted to be employed like a straw. The element has a rotor rotatably mounted thereon for the amusement of the user. It also defines a passage for the flow of the liquid, and there are drive means disposed in the passage in connection with the rotor whereby the rotor is caused to undergo rotation in response to flow of the liquid through the passage.
