  • Publication number: 20120231906
    Abstract: A game device (1) comprises a ball (2) and twelve indicators (3). Each indicator (3) comprises a suction cavity (4) and a release ring (5). Each indicator (3) may be releasably attached by suction to the ball (2) by manipulating the suction cavity (4) of the indicator (3) to create a suction force between the indicator (3) and the ball (2). The release ring (5) protrudes from the ball (2) substantially perpendicular to an external surface of the ball (2). Upon an impact to the release ring (5), for example a user kicking the device (1), the release ring (5) acts to release the suction attachment force between the indicator (3) and the ball (2). The indicator (3) thus becomes detached from the ball (2). By detaching the indicator (3) from the ball (2), the indicator (3) acts to indicate the region of the impact to the game device (1).

  • Publication number: 20080263875
    Abstract: A tool suitable for inscribing and removing a portion of a wooden member, comprising: a support member (2), first and second blades (10, 20) extending substantially perpendicularly from the support member (2) in spaced apart parallel relationship, a third blade (30) extending between opposite lateral ends of the first and second blades (10, 20), cutting edges (11, 21, 31) on the blades (10, 20, 30), which between them define the outline of the portion of wood to be inscribed and removed, and a first control means to control the depth of cut of the third blade (30) when the tool is used to cut away the inscribed portion.

  • Patent number: 7063621
    Abstract: According to the invention there is provided a rest for a cue having an elongated shaft defining a central longitudinally extending shaft axis, a table engaging means, and an intermediate connecting means connecting the table engaging means with the shaft, the intermediate connecting means being shaped for avoiding an obstruction on the table adjacent a location where the table engaging means is to engage the table. There is further provided a means to restrain rotational movement of the intermediate connecting means about the shaft axis.

  • Patent number: 5668884
    Abstract: A audio enhancement system and method of use with a sound system for producing primary sound from at least one main loudspeaker located at a main position. The audio enhancement system comprises at least one wireless transmitter, time delay circuitry, and plural augmented sound producing subsystems. Each sound subsystem is a portable unit arranged to be carried by a person located remote from the main loudspeaker and includes a wireless receiver and an associated transduce device, e.g., a pair of stereo headphones. The transmitter broadcasts an electrical signal which is representative of the electrical input signal provided to the main loudspeaker. The broadcast signal is receiver by the receiver and is demodulated and amplified to drive the transducer so that it produces augmented sound substantially in synchronism with the sound arriving from the main loudspeaker.
