  • Patent number: 4095793
    Abstract: A simplified and inexpensive table game resembling golf is played with marbles propelled by the fingers of players on an imitation grass playing surface. The playing surface has cut-outs to resemble sand and water hazards as well as the holes of a golf course. A plastic or oil cloth underlay is colored to be visible through the cut-outs so that the sand and water hazards will appear realistically to the players of the game. Simplified hole marker flags are constructed from bent pipe cleaners.

  • Patent number: 4095365
    Abstract: A one piece, all plastic bait bucket or container is adapted to be manufactured at minimum cost by blow molding techniques. The lightweight and durable bucket for live bait has a side wall door which is integrally hinged to the body of the bucket and may be held normally closed by an elastic band arrangement. The tapered shape of the bucket facilitates towing through water and enables a greater separation of the live bait in the bucket to keep the bait alive longer.
