Patent number: 7042806Abstract: The present invention describes an apparatus and method for timing manual dexterity and hand-eye coordination competitions. Specifically, the present invention relates to an apparatus and method for timing cup stacking competitions. The apparatus of the present invention includes a mat which may incorporate a timer and the cups which are to be stacked on the mat. One embodiment of the present invention includes a multi-pieced timing mechanism which may be selectively interconnected to a mat. Further, a plurality of these timing mechanisms may be used remotely from the mat or with the mat such that a plurality of players may be used in individual mats.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2004Date of Patent: May 9, 2006Assignee: Speedstacks, Inc.Inventors: Robert W. Fox, John L. Goers

Publication number: 20030102283Abstract: A closure for a container provides a secure closure for liquid containers while eliminating the disadvantages of traditional cork closures. The closure includes a reduced density core encapsulated by an agglomerated cork layer to which a cork veneer or printed paper or plastic layer is attached. This composite structure provides uniform pressure against the sides of the bottle finish while eliminating the problems normally associated with real cork closures, such as leakage of oxygen in and product out caused by lenticels.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 3, 2002Publication date: June 5, 2003Inventor: Robert W. Fox

Patent number: 5422130Abstract: A modular system wherein a wide range of fluid and/or particulate food products are filled and sealed into rigid, semi-rigid or flexible containers at commercial sterilizing temperature and under pressure in a non-aseptic method. The machine is pressurized with an inert gas so that in-container oxygen volume is minimized and product evaporation is minimized. Sterilization and subsequent cooling is achieved in holding towers controlled at appropriate temperatures and pressures. Modular construction enables the whole machine to be tailored to suit specific food product and container applications and allows the filling and sealing sections of the machine to be very small.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 1992Date of Patent: June 6, 1995Assignee: Pressure Pack, Inc.Inventors: Robert W. Fox, Joseph E. Marcy

Patent number: 4208124Abstract: A platform-shaped device is designed to be placed over the illuminating aperture of a color-controllable light-box of known construction, and under a camera which is loaded with a roll of color film of slide-forming size and character, and which is focused on the central area of the platform. The device has at opposite sides a reel for holding, guidedly feeding and receiving a roll of developed black-and-white negatives previously made from the usually much larger black-and-white art work. The device also has means (e.g. a geneva-movement mechanism) for accurately sequentially positioning in the camera field, each one of a series of frames to be converted to color-slide frames in the camera. A pair of laterally movable thin blackened masking plates are manually movable in guides to expose different laterally constricted areas of the negative for each color to be projected therethrough from the light-box.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 1978Date of Patent: June 17, 1980Inventor: Robert W.
