Abstract: A flipper system for retrofitting existing flippers of a pinball game which rotate in operative engagement with a solenoid, with new flippers. The new flippers have an opening which is removably engageable upon an engagement end of a rotatable actuator shaft and can include hollow cavities within a metal body of the new flipper. An improved connection to the existing solenoid is provided by inclusion of a actuator shaft and clamp with the system.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a scoop for use on non-horizontal work surfaces, such as land slopes, roofs and the like. The scoop includes a first base panel and a second base panel, each of the first and second base panels having a front edge, a back edge and two side edges. The first base panel and the second base panel are connected to one another along a side edge of each to establish a seam wherein a first angle measured perpendicular to that seam and is formed by the first and second panels, at about 120 degrees to about 170 degrees. The scoop also includes a first wall panel and a second wall panel, the first wall panel being connected to the first base panel on a side opposite the seam and at an angle, referred to herein as the second angle, being about 120 degrees to about 170 degrees. The second wall panel is connected to the second base panel on a side opposite the seam and at an angle, referred to herein as a third angle, of about 120 degrees to about 170 degrees.

Abstract: A simple and flexible lid molding system is provided that is generally capable of maintaining a high productivity workflow coupling between an injection mold and a lid stacking operation, or other such downstream process. The lid molding system includes a lid conveyor that cooperates with an in-mold part handling system. The lid conveyor furthermore accommodates lids of generally any size and shape, and is capable of conveying the lids along generally any path and through any distance.

Abstract: A teaching device includes a changeable two channel prerecorded program source, and a console unit including a work booklet. The first channel of the program source includes an audio program comprising a series of spoken words which are audibly reproduced by the console unit and the second channel includes a series of control signals which are operative for actuating lights adjacent prespecified words in the work booklet. The operation of the console unit is coordinated with the audio program so that lights are actuated adjacent to the words in the work booklet as the same words are audibly reproduced by the console unit. One embodiment of the device further includes a plurality of depressible user response buttons on the console unit for indicating responses to questions presented in the audio program.

Abstract: A multi-layer board is fabricated by plating up conductive posts on a nonconductive layer. The tops of the posts are planarized, resulting in sharp corners. The posts are aligned with a template, which has a hole above each post, and a second nonconductive layer is placed between the top of the posts and the bottom of the template. The two layers are laminated together by compressing the second layer between the first layer and the template, and the posts punch through the second layer. Conductive traces may then be etched or deposited between the posts tops, and the process may be repeated as many times as desired.

Abstract: A method for producing beam leads, i.e. electrical contacts, on flexible circuits or multilayer circuits for interconnecting devices is disclosed. The method consists of processing a metal foil to expose a beam lead interconnection pattern, plating the exposed pattern with metal, coating a base insulating layer with an adhesive, punching cavities in the adhesive coated insulating layer, engaging the coated side of the base insulating layer to the metal foil, and applying a cushioning material on the opposite side of the adhesive coated insulating layer. The metal foil and the insulating layer are then laminated causing the cushioning material to flow into the pre-punched cavities thereby providing a protective cushioning-type backing for the metal-plated beam lead interconnection pattern.
