Abstract: Slot racing motorcycle. It features a pickup shoe equipped with lateral stabilising extensions (9, 10), featuring supporting means at their ends. It is equipped with a servo motor (12) which is solidly attached to the chassis and the wheels, to a horizontal rotating spindle (13), essentially longitudinal to the direction of travel of the motorcycle (1) and whose output shaft (14) comprises at its front end a first slide (15) which moves along a vertical guide (16) which is solidly attached to the pickup shoe (6). Thus, the motorcycle may lean in towards the inside of a curve rounded by the same, due to the fact that starting from a vertical position of the motorcycle (1), a turn of the servo motor (12) brings about a downward movement of the first slide and a leaning of the upper part of the chassis-wheels assembly.

Abstract: A toilet draping is formed by folding a plastic bag in half lengthwise and cutting a suitably shaped and sized opening in a medial location of the bag. In another aspect of the invention, a keyhole-shaped opening is formed in an impervious sheet to form a toilet draping.

Abstract: A deck of playing cards comprises a plurality of individual playing cards, each of the individual playing cards having a front side and a back side, the front side having displayed thereon a card identifier for identifying an individual playing card, wherein at least two of the individual playing cards display on the front side a selected text portion, wherein the selected text portion of each of the least two cards comprises a different portion of a selected text taken from a literary work. The literary work may comprise lyrics of a song, and the selected text comprises at least one line from the lyrics of the song.

Abstract: Some but not all engines of an aircraft are provided with thrust reversers. A safety device disables, at least from the position corresponding to idling, the action of the throttles corresponding to the engines devoid of thrust reversers when the thrust reversers are controlled to deployment.

Abstract: Flight control indicator for an aircraft, in particular a transport airplane, intended to supply the thrust generated by at least one engine of the aircraft. The flight control indicator (1) comprises display means (4) which present, on a viewing screen (5), a dial (6) which is graduated in percentage, whose maximum represents the maximum thrust available for the current phase of flight, in the current configuration of the aircraft and for the current anemometric conditions, and which is furnished with characteristic signs (7, 8), whose positions on the dial (6) respectively represent prescribed and actual thrusts which are expressed as a percentage of the maximum thrust.

Abstract: According to the invention, only certain engines (5, 6) of the aircraft are provided with thrust reversers (9, 10) and a safety device (33, 36, 37) is provided so as to disable, at least from the position corresponding to idling, the action of the throttles (13, 14) corresponding to the engines (7, 8) devoid of thrust reversers when said thrust reversers (9, 10) are controlled to deployment.
