Abstract: A board game has an adherent playing surface for players to competitively develop words from individual alphabetical letters formed by placing removable strips on ordered matrix patterns incorporated onto the surface of the board. A die having opposite surfaces embossed with duplicate numbers of dots producing random totals of 1, 2, and 3 when thrown generate numerical information effecting player-agreed use options for disposition of the strips relative to the matrix patterns and for advancing the game to a win conclusion. The word game according to the invention is primarily a board game, but would be suitable as a computer game programmed on a disc or cartridge useful with computer graphics.

Abstract: A portable screen printing apparatus useful for printing designs, lettering, and numerals on garments and other articles containing novel screen holder assemblies which allow variable positioning of the thermal printing screen over the surface of the garment. The screen printing apparatus consists generally of a support base, four positionable screen holder assemblies hingedly affixed to a pivoting plate, an elevating plate, and a platform supporting the article to be printed on. Each screen holder assembly consists basically of a two panel telescoping frame endwardly affixed with a U-shaped channel. The channel is affixed with two thumb screws for securing the thermal frame portion of a thermal printing screen. The top telescoping panel with the U-shaped channel endwardly attached, can be extended longitudinally over the surface of the garment on the article platform.

Abstract: A one-piece elongated rectangular metal fence plate adjustably attachable to a cutable guide base of plywood or plastic. One longitudinal edge of the fence plate is formed into a guide fence for hand held power circular saws or saber saws. The invention has straight widened edges of adjustably bolting to the surface of the guide base. The fence plate attached to the guide base provides an elongated saw guide fence for straight cutting of large building material panels such as plywood. The guide base is a rectangular panel sized equal in length to the fence plate. The guide base is initially of greater width than the width of the fence plate plus the width of the base of the power saw. For the initial set-up, the fence plate is bolted to the guide base. The guide base is then cut to size using a power hand saw with the guide fence of the attached fence plate serving as the saw guide to assure parallel alignment of the guide fence relative to the cut edge of the guide base.
