  • Publication number: 20090321597
    Abstract: A hanger mounted to an upright member (20) of a sectional rack for rotating movement around the member. The hanger is kept against getting broken away from the upright member even if any heavy load or object is hung thereon, and also less intrusive to other usages. The hanger is composed of a major body (1) surrounding around the upright member for rotating movement in a circumferential direction and a hook (6) coupled to the upright member to put any object thereon. The major body (1) is made up of a pair of first and second halves (1a, 1b) which are joined together at their confronting edges (10) for pivotal movement to allow their other edges (9) to swing open and/or close one another and made circular on their inside surfaces in conformity with an outside configuration of the upright member. The hook (6) makes engagement with at least any one edge of the first and second halves.

  • Patent number: 6093104
    Abstract: A video game is played on a video game system by moving objects successively introduced into a game field in one direction on a display screen, determining whether a leading object or a leading cluster of objects introduced into the game field reach a predetermined position in the display screen or a memory, and ending the video game if the leading object or the leading cluster of objects introduced into the game field reaches the predetermined position. It is determined whether objects of one type are successively connected in the game field or not. The objects of one type are removed from the game field if they are successively connected in the game field. An object present ahead of the removed objects in the direction is moved in a direction opposite to the direction. An object indicated by a cursor is exchanged for an object present in the game field.
