Publication number: 20140312566Abstract: A board game and method of play for a game which involves rapid paced action, chance and attention to detail. The board includes a plurality of game cards on a game board having a matrix of number with letters as column headings. Players purchase cards (locations on the board) and have a hand held duplicate for markup. In addition to game cards, players can purchase select special number sequences to win. The game is accelerated by providing a numerical designator adjacent or on the card which is the winning combination of numbers so that the player can see the combination without looking to the matrix of number on card.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 13, 2014Publication date: October 23, 2014Applicant: Indy Cowboy LLCInventors: Jeffrey B. Rubin, Stanley M. Hubbard, Frank Wendt

Patent number: 6866572Abstract: The invention relates to a plated grinding tool which is symmetrically configured around an axis of rotation. Said plated grinding tool comprises a plurality of grinding plates arranged on the periphery and/or on the faces, and comprises a support body on which said grinding plates are fixed. The plated grinding tool also comprises a device for connecting the plated grinding tool to a drive device. The support body has at least one rotationally symmetric lateral surface on which the grinding plates are at least partially fixed. According to the invention, the support body comprises at least one central element which is configured as a disc and which extends in an essentially radial manner in relation to the axis of rotation. In addition, the device for connecting the plated grinding tool to a drive device has a locating face, said face being formed by the disc, which is provided for connecting the plated grinding tool to a drive device.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 1998Date of Patent: March 15, 2005Assignee: M&F EntwicklungsInventors: Marion Wendt-Ginsberg, Frank Wendt

Patent number: 3964185Abstract: The apparatus includes an elongated buck having an upper convex surface which supports the seam with the edges thereof outboard, and a portable iron having a concave bottom surface and a pointed nose which cooperates with the convex buck to simultaneously open and press the seam sandwiched therebetween as the iron moves in a forward direction thereover. The bottom edge of the iron is recessed on either side of the nose to permit the opened edges of the seam forward of the nose to flow smoothly beneath the iron as the iron advances thereover, preventing bunching of the seam forward of the iron as it advances. A jet of steam directed downwardly and forwardly is emitted from the nose of the iron to moisten the opened seamed edges and thereby enhance the permanency of the overbusting operation.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 1975Date of Patent: June 22, 1976Assignee: W. M. Cissell Manufacturing CompanyInventors: Norman J. Bullock, Frank A. Wendt, Laddie A. DePas, Walter P. Goodman
