  • Patent number: 6651558
    Abstract: An inserter (10) for synchronously feeding a preprinted portion (X1) of a pamphlet into a printing press (P) to be adhered to a complemental portion of the pamphlet in substantial registration to form the completed pamphlet is disclosed. The inserter (10) broadly includes a feeder assembly (12), an aligner assembly (14), and a drive assembly (16). The feeder assembly (12) moves a plurality (Xn) of sequential preprinted portions (X1, X2 . . . Xn,) of the pamphlets along a substantially horizontal support surface (42) and then feeds them, one at a time, into the aligner assembly (14). The aligner assembly (14) includes aligner pins (246,248), that are universally spaced independent of the dimension of the preprinted portions (Xn), that aligns each of the pamphlet portions into the desired alignment so that the aligner assembly (14) can introduce them one at a time into the printing press (P) in sufficient registration to allow the formation of the completed pamphlets.

  • Patent number: 4200293
    Abstract: This invention relates to games, and more particularly, to a chess-like board game. The game comprises, in the first embodiment, a gameboard having disposed thereon a playing field including a generally square area of individual checker-like squares forming said playing field. The squares form increments of travel for uniquely configured marker members. Each player is given a set of marker members, and each set has identification means for identifying the marker members of that set which belong to a particular player. Each marker member has eight sides with means disposed adjacent each side for indicating the number of squares that marker member may move in a predetermined direction. The game also includes chance means which is operable by each player for identifying the square upon which each of the marker members which belong to each player is placed at the inception of the game.
