Abstract:

A game table includes a storage area with a center leaf horizontally mounted in the storage area. When the top cover is in a closed position, the center leaf is positioned at the bottom of the storage area. A pulley system is used to raise the center leaf into a playing position when the top cover is moved to the open position. When the top cover is closed again, the pulley system lowers the center leaf into the storage area. A game board and game pieces positioned on the center leaf are maintained in the same position when the top cover is closed and the center leaf is lowered into the storage area. By maintaining the center leaf in a horizontal position, persons playing a game can suspend the game and safely keep the game pieces in the same position by merely closing the top cover. The game may be resumed by opening the top cover to raise the center leaf back into the playing position.

Abstract:

A toilet seat ventilation assembly for mounting on a toilet bowl includes a seat having a and air passageway and plurality of vent holes formed in the seat. A tubular manifold is rotatably secured in mounting fixtures at the rear of the toilet seat. The toilet seat is rotatably secured to the manifold by hinges having a passageway for communicating air from the toilet seat to the inlet of the manifold. The mounting fixtures have a passageway for communicating air from the outlet of the manifold to an exhaust conduit. The toilet seat cover has hinges for connecting the toilet seat cover to the manifold in a fixed manner. Pivoting the toilet cover between a horizontal position and a vertical position causes the manifold to rotate within the toilet seat hinges and the mounting fixtures. The inlets and outlets of the manifold are configured so that air from around the toilet bowl is communicated into and out of the manifold to an external vent when the toilet cover is in the vertical position and the toilet seat is in a horizontal position.
