Abstract: A multi-panel gaming apparatus is provided that uses interchangeable panels to create a structure that is used in playing a game. The panels interlock together to form the gaming apparatus and each panel has an active side and an inactive side. The active side is initially placed on the exterior surface of the structure and includes information relevant to the playing of the game. When a panel is eliminated from the game, the panel can be disconnected from the structure and turned over and then reconnected to the structure with the inactive side placed on the exterior surface. The gaming apparatus can have four sides, six sides, eight sides, twelve sides, or any other number of sides that allows for the interlocking panels to define a multi-panel structure.

Abstract: A door skin comprises an exterior side and an interior side for being secured to a frame member. First and second molded, spaced stiles lie on a first plane. A flat planar portion is disposed between the stiles and lies on a second plane spaced from the first plane. A first interface portion is disposed between and contiguous with the stiles and the flat planar portion. First and second integrally molded, spaced rails lie on a third plane, wherein the third plane is intermediate the first and second planes.

Abstract: A universal door skin blank comprises an exterior side and an interior side for securing to a frame member, first and second molded, spaced stiles, and a flat planar portion disposed between the stiles and lying on a plane spaced from the plane of the stiles. An interface portion is disposed between and contiguous with the stiles and the flat planar portion. The invention also relates to a door having at least one universal door skin blank, with at least two separately formed rails secured to the planar portion of the blank at opposite ends thereof.

Abstract: A sliding wall-mounted interior door system that includes a telescoping door actuating mechanism that is attached to the upper portion of the door, and a roller assembly that extends horizontally from the wall and engages a track in the lower portion of the door. The door actuating system is designed so that the movement of one of the door panels simultaneously moves the other door panel in the opposite direction. The actuating mechanism is designed so that a gearing assembly within the actuating mechanism moves laterally when the door system is moved between the open and closed positions.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a wood composite panel having a major planar portion, at least one panel portion, and an inwardly extending contoured portion surrounding the panel portion and interconnecting the major planar portion and the panel portion. The contoured portion defines an inter-relationship between a vector angle and a deep draw depth that achieve a satisfactory stretch factor. The present invention also relates to a door having the disclosed wood composite door facings, and methods of forming the facing and door.

Abstract: Two illustrative candle holding modules, each of which have a plurality of openings for receiving candles therein for display and a plurality of projections which individually fit into a selected opening in other similar modules. The combination allows the building of an innumerable variety of three dimensional arrays of candles. One module includes a linear array of candle receiving cells with an equal number of projections beneath them, each cell and its associated projection being structurally related to allow combining a plurality of such modules together in a variety of arrangements. A second module includes a square array of identically sized and shaped cells and projections to interfit with other first or second type modules.

Abstract: A box comprising a bottom, a pair of side walls, and a pair of end walls is stackable due to the shape of the end walls and their interaction with the bottom of the box. The end walls include parallel, upwardly directed arches flanked by flat surfaces which prevent lateral relative movement of stacked boxes. Notching the bottom to receive the end walls such that they grip the bottom prevents longitudinal relative movement of the stacked boxes.
