  • Patent number: 5421585
    Abstract: A floating water game comprising a plurality of pins, each similar in shape to a bowling pin. An assembly is for floating each pin in an upright position on a body of water. An article is for stabilizing and spacing each pin apart from the other pins on the body of water. Fasteners are for attaching in a removable manner the stabilizing and spacing articles of the pins, so that the pins form a particular geometric configuration on the body of water. Indicia is on each pin to indicate a specific amount of points for each pin. Components are used by each player, for tossing at the pins to determine if contact was made onto the pins. Each player can receive the amount of points indicated, in which the player with the highest score at the end of the game wins.

  • Patent number: 5035273
    Abstract: A vehicle wheel rim device of a type in which a first wheel rim carries a first tire casing, and having a second tire casing inwardly of the first tire casing, characterized by the provision of a second rim inwardly of the first rim, the generally circular edge-portions of the second rim being supported by the generally cylindrical body portion of the first rim, and are spaced from the adjacent circular edge-portion of the first rim, and providing that the circular edge-portions of the second rim provide support for the bead-portions of the second tire casing in a manner in which the second tire casing bead portions are substantially spaced, respectively from the beam portions of the first tire casing, thus protecting the inward tire casing from the erratic flopping of the outer tire if it becomes disabled.
