Title: Reinforced concrete element
Inventor: KASSIS FAHIM
IPC: E04B5/14
Filed: 1999-12-03
Granted: 2004-01-08
Abstract: A system for walls and structural slabs is disclosed. It consists of units of a pre-case reinforced concrete element has a special form design, fabrication methods and utilisation. The element has a circular section, variable lengths and flat surface on the top and bottom sides ( 2 ). It has a sectional area of 4170 sq mm. The optimum preferred dimensions of the cross section are 64 mm high and 75 mm wide ( 1 ). The element has an optimum shape that reduces the materials used yet provides the structural performance required. When stacked vertically between two structural framing columns, the elements form non-load-bearing walls system( 3 ). The elements form structural diaphragm when horizontally laid side by side in a butt-jointed manner, supported on both ends by means of structural framing beams. Plain concrete topping to the necessary thickness is cast over the diaphragm/elements, forming an integral reinforced concrete structural slab system ( 4 ). The elements are fabricated mechanically or manually. Manual fabrication using PCV moulds produces individual elements of various lengths. Machine fabrication allows production of jointed elements forming slabs of various widths and lengths.

Title: Toy motorcycle configurable as a hovercycle
Inventor: HIPPELY KEITH A
IPC: A63H17/16
Filed: 2001-01-18
Granted: 2003-09-25
Abstract: A toy motorcycle body supports a pair of front-to-back extending chassis shafts in a pivotal attachment. A front wheel and a rear wheel are each formed of respective wheel halves and supported by the pivotable chassis shafts. The chassis shafts each support respective lever cams which cooperate with a pivotally supported lever actuated by the user. The chassis shafts also support a pair of spring cams which cooperate with a return spring. The action of the spring upon the spring cams pivots the chassis shafts to place the front and rear wheel halves together configuring the toy motorcycle as a conventional motorcycle. The manipulation of the pivotally supported lever by the user overcomes the spring force and pivots the chassis shafts so as to move the respective wheel halves to a split outwardly extending configuration to mimic a hovering device.
