  • Patent number: 6068488
    Abstract: The present invention provides a game and training device which can be played in a game-like setting to develop skills such as ball handling, passing, and shooting. A primary goal forms a target opening in a generally vertical plane through which a ball may be kicked by the player. In addition, a plurality of intermediate goals are arranged on the playing field in spaced relation to one another. Each intermediate goal defines a respective target opening through which the ball is to be passed as the player advances the ball to the primary goal. Each intermediate goal comprises a pair of base members positioned on laterally spaced apart relation to one another and a hoop member supported by the pair of base members.

  • Patent number: 4765338
    Abstract: Improvements in reuseable, heat exchanging head pieces for cooling or heating substantially the entire hair bearing (scalp) area of the human head; improvements in a blank form for use in the manufacture of such product for the said purposes for filling with reuseable heat exchanging materials; a reuseable, heat exchanging head piece employable with cancer chemotherapy patients in order to cool the scalp zone of the head in order to prevent hair loss during chemotherapy treatment and injections; improved reuseable devices and processes for heat exchanging the human scalp, including such with a variable or adjustable size headband constriction and limited, yet controllable upper head surface of skull surface compression for full, substantially "holiday" free cooling or heating; further improvements in such heat exchanging head pieces wherein the blank form and heat exchanging head pieces are alternatively used or available for use in a one-shot or nonreuseable configuration.

  • Patent number: 4101142
    Abstract: A snow sled having a front steering ski rotatably and pivotally mounted on the front end of the sled body in such a way that the ski is turnable by the sled rider to steer the sled, and that turning of the ski in either direction from its center position effects tilting of the ski about its longitudinal axis to present in plow-like fashion the bottom surface of the ski in the direction of sled movement for enhancing the steering action of the ski. The sled is also equipped with a novel braking arrangement operable by the rider.

  • Patent number: 3952354
    Abstract: A sled for use on snow, grass, sand, and the like, as well as on water. The sled has a body with a relatively sharply upswept prow which projects well above the rear end of the body and slopes upwardly in each lateral direction from a lower central keel rib on the body. The sled is towed by a line attached to the front end of the keel rib. This body shape provides protection for the rider, prevents the body from knifing into the surface over which the sled is moving, and permits steering control of the sled by leaning from side to side. Lines with or without an attached handle may be secured to the prow for use by the rider in maintaining his balance and steering the sled when being towed. The body may have an inclined ramp surface at the underside extending across the rear end of the body for producing a planing action which holds the prow down during motion of the sled through water.
