Title: Dart without rebound
Inventor: WOLFENDEN DAN
IPC: F42B6/00
Filed: 1992-04-22
Abstract: A dart (10) of a dart game provides a freely rotatable and reciprocating biased point (11) with a tip (12) that, when the tip (12) hits a wire mesh (W) on a normal dart board or target (T), this causes the point (11) to reciprocatingly collapse or migrate into the dart barrel (18) but due to the forward momentum of the flight of the dart (10) the forward momentum urges the tip (12) off of the wire (W) and causes penetration of the tip (12) into target (T) whereby eliminating, or reducing substantially, incidents of direct hit of the dart tip (12) on the wire (W) whereby the dart (10) would bounce off the dart board or target (T) onto the ground with no points being awarded for the shot. The free rotation of the point allowed, when that point is penetratingly resting in a target, the body of that dart rotates out of the path of travel of an oncoming dart, should the oncoming dart hit the flight or even possibly the barrel of the penetrated dart. The biasing point is always held in its extended or "set" position and the need to reset the point is not necessary.

Filed: 1994-11-01
Abstract: This invention provides a body mounted exercise device primarily for use in exercising the muscles of the buttocks,  but preferably  adaptable to also exercise the thighs and arms.  The device preferably comprises two hinge plates which are each secured outwardly and to one side of a respective hip joint of a human user,  each of the hinge plates provided with a pivot arm pivotable about the hinge plate.   For exercise of the muscles of the buttocks, the pivot arms extend downwardly along the legs of the user, preferably engaging the backs of the legs between the hip joints and knees.   The exercise device is provided with biasing means which exert a forwardly directed biasing force on  the  backs  of  the  legs,  the  biasing  force  opposing rearward pivoting of the legs about the hip joints.  During rearward pivoting of the legs, the muscles of the buttocks contract  and  are  forced  to  overcome  the  biasing  force exerted by the pivot arms on the legs of the user.   Thus, the exercise device of  the present  invention provides a simple and effective means of exercising the buttocks, and can be used during normal walking motion of the user.

Inventor: PERRY WILLIAM M
IPC: B60R1/072
Filed: 1995-08-30
Abstract: An improved gear train for the adjustment structure in a mirror includes a slip clutch disk connection that allows a pinion gear to rotate relative to an intermediate gear reduction. The pinion gear is engaged to rotate a rack, and the rack is connected to the mirror to adjust the position of the mirror. The rack is spring biased into engagement with the pinion, thus insuring that the two move with each other quietly and smoothly. The rack can be biased into engagement with thepinion gear, since it need not be able to slip relative to the pinion gear, as was the case in the prior art. The clutch disk allows the pinion gear to move with the rack when the mirror is manually adjusted. The inventive clutch disk is relatively simple, including a clutch drive gear rotatably journaled on a drive shaft. The drive shaft is fixed to rotate with the pinion gear. A spring biases a friction face of the clutch drive gear into engagement with the clutch disk, which also rotates with the pinion gear. Since the pinion gear may slip relative to the clutch drive gear, but will always move with the rack, a memory feedback position control can sense therotational position of the pinion gear and provide an accurate indication of the actual position of the rack, and hence the mirror.
