  • Patent number: 10309505
    Abstract: The invention relates to a continuously variable automatic transmission that modifies the transmission ratio thereof by means of the accumulation and conversion of potential and kinetic energy. The transmission, which is functionally formed around a device accumulating elastic potential energy (6) with a controlled (7) output (2), has an inflow system (5) suitable for distributing the energy that is absorbed, and an outflow system (9) suitable for delivering the potential energy that has been absorbed and converting it into kinetic energy. The accumulator of elastic potential energy is formed around an elastic spiral spring, the inlet thereof being arranged so as to only allow the inflow of energy and the outlet thereof so as to control the energy delivery.

  • Patent number: 6318724
    Abstract: Machine for competition and entertainment through impulse of an object with three-dimensional freedom of movement where two teams of participants play a game, one team on either side shooting an object with three-dimensional freedom of movement (1.3) to one another. The object moves on a gameboard (1.1) until one team fails to repel it, thus scoring points for one of the participants. Repulsion of the object originates from a repulsion sector (1.9) from which, by working a group of controls (1.7 and 1.8), movement can be provoked. The mobile object (1.3) has freedom within a zone where it is controlled by a mechanical system (1.6) where the movements are produced as a result of the action of motive elements which are governed by a control unit according to the position of the mobile object, the position of the repulsion sector and the operation of the controls.

  • Patent number: 6105960
    Abstract: Machine for playing competition and leisure game between two participants who can compete by actuation of a chip which floats on a gameboard by means of air blown from orifices provided in the board itself and which has underneath a high pressure chamber forming part of a closed circuit of air pressures. The chip is actuated by means of control systems, which are comprised of linear displacement bodies incorporating impulsers which act controllably as a function of the situation of push-buttons and presence sensors of the control unit. The goals are obtained by succeeding in making the chip go beyond the goal lines which are defended by the control systems; once the chip has passed over the goal line, it goes into the corresponding goal area wherein the chip is detected and the point is accounted for whereafter the chip may be taken out back to the playboard.
