Abstract: Board game including a board provided with an annular path along which player's tokens may advance, the annular path being arranged concentrically about a central pivot axis and being divided into twelve equal segments each representing a respective one of twelve astrological house signs. A pair of segmented wheels are mounted for independent rotation about the central pivot axis and are arranged whereby the segmented portion of each wheel is visible. Each segmented wheel is divided into twelve equal segments, each of the segments of one wheel designating a respective one of twelve zodiac signs and the segments of the other wheel designating planet signs. An alignment indicator is associated with each segment of the wheels for indicating an operative scoring alignment between the wheel segments and the path segments.

Abstract: A super memory educational game of skill and chance is provided and consists of a board game for ages eight years old thru adult ages and is played in seven basic ways. Players take turns trying to spell, pronounce and define words correctly, remember number sequences, answer question cards, play game chips on the square board and play the bonus chance game. All seven functions are played simultaneously as the game progresses. Various methods of game rules are included in which a method can be elected by the players. Participant activities are timed according to a preselected time length using a timing device. The play money is used to reward or penalize players for incorrect moves. The first player to reach the winner's circle by completing movement around the board and fulfilling the required activities is the winner. The pot of money accrued during the game is then awarded to the winner. The game can be geared toward different age levels and educational backgrounds from elementary to college.

Abstract: A game of chance apparatus includes a rotatable symbol substrate driven relative to a marker by an electric motor. Teeth are mounted coaxially with the symbol substrate and have a tooth repetition equal to that of the symbols. The relative motion between the symbol substrate and the marker can be started or stopped by an electromagnet, the marker and the symbol substrate being lockable into predetermined relative positions by means of the teeth. To reduce operational energy consumption and impact stresses, two annular electromagnets are mounted concentrically to each other and coaxially with the shaft of the symbol substrate. The magnetizable marker is freely displaceable between the poles of the electromagnets. Rings which cannot be magnetized are mounted at a distance from each of the electromagnets between their poles and the associated ends of the marker.

Abstract: A board game for two to four players in which each player is assigned an individual, flippable, playing piece that is used to chase an exchangable general playing piece which is able to earn points. The players move their pieces on a board having a number of paths of spaced indicia with reversible and collectable markers positioned atop the indicia. Initially one of the players is determined to be the one using the exchangable playing piece. The exchangable piece carries a spinner for determining its advancability. The other players, using another spinner, chase and try to catch the exchangable piece with the aggressive character of their assigned pieces facing upwardly. When an encounter between the general piece and one of the assigned pieces occurs, the outcome is determined by which side of the assigned piece faces upwardly. The character of the assigned pieces may be changed either by the spinner or by returning to the starting position.

Abstract: A device for obtaining readings of statistical variables in a random manner. The device comprises a base member having a bottom wall, a cylindrical side wall extending vertically above the bottom wall, and a vertical centering post projecting from the bottom wall centrally of the cylindrical side wall. A data carrying circular spool, having a circular bottom wall, is centrally supported for rotation on the post. The cylindrical side wall has reference location for obtaining a reading of information from the spool.

Abstract: A toy blood pressure monitoring device for simulating the blood pressure monitoring instrument used by doctors. The device comprises a housing having a diaphragm on one side and a pressure indicating scale on the other side. A fan is mounted for rotation within the housing and has a pointer coupled to the fan and coacting with the scale. A manually squeezable air impelling bulb is coupled to the housing and adapted when squeezed to substantially simultaneously direct a pulse of air against the fan and diaphragm. The air pulse imparts a rotative movement to the pointer over the pressure reading scale to simulate a blood pressure reading. The pulse of air further deflects the diaphragm which if held against a person's arm simulates the person's heart pulse beat.

Abstract: A combination toy assembly having individual removable component parts is provided to form a versatile toy for a child. Mounted within the body member is a randomly activated indicator member capable of providing random values for a game of chance and the like. Various forms of power devices can be appended to the body member for locomotion such as a motor with a pair of drive wheels and a waterproof motor assembly with a propeller. Pontoons and a float member can be attached to the body member to permit the mobile toy to operate in water. An articulated extension member can be mounted on the rear of the body member to provide a tail stabilizer or simulated antenna, or can be further bent and mounted on the top of the body member to provide a simulated steering column.

Abstract: An amusement device for several players useful in art education comprises a game board having a playing surface decorated with a plurality of identified, spaced apart, dots arranged in a grid system and a plurality of pictorial symbols which are adapted to be roughly represented by straight lines drawn between selected pairs of said dots in accordance with instructions on program cards corresponding to each of the pictorial symbols represented. A transparent acetate sheet is covered over the playing surface of the game board so that the lines drawn thereon with marker means such as a grease pencil may be erased when a drawing is completed and a new drawing is to be started. Chance means is provided for selecting the starting sequence that the lines are to be drawn in accordance with the program cards, each of which represents one of the symbols on the game board.
