Abstract: An air circulator for an oven is described formed of a self-contained housing sized to be placed at a convenient location inside the oven with food being heated. The housing encloses a spring motor and a propeller connected to the motor through a reduction gear train. An air flow is produced from a housing outlet adjacent the propeller and may be directed in a desired direction by a rotatably adjustable air flow deflector on the housing and at the outlet.

Abstract: An animated coin sorting bank that provides a unique form of animation when a coin is deposited therein, and which sorts coins of different diameters. A coin deposited in the bank moves under gravitational/inertial forces from an inlet to a sorting area. As it moves between the inlet and the sorting area, the coin moves through an arcuate segment in which it engages and rotates a display member. Preferably, a composite image is formed partly on the display member and partly on a front cover, so that when the display member is rotated an element of animation of that composite image is produced. After releasing from the display disc the coin continues to move under gravitational/inertial forces to a sorting area in which the coin is sorted according to its diameter. According to the preferred embodiment a high speed rotation of the display member and a high speed sort is effected, in order to enhance the visual animation produced.

Abstract: A hand manipulative game including specially formed fluid chamber, and specially formed objects which must be manipulated into predetermined relation to a target in the chamber. The fluid chamber is formed between a pair of spaced apart translucent walls which are in parallel relation to each other. At least one pair of balls are within the chamber with one ball having a lower specific gravity than the fluid which is to fill the chamber and the other ball having a higher specific gravity than the fluid which is to fill the chamber. The diameter of each of the balls is slightly smaller than the space between the parallel spaced apart walls. Each pair of balls is movable in the fluid chamber in a predetermined relation to the target in order to successfully complete the game.
