US Patent:

45825009, Apr 15, 1986

Filed:

Feb 9, 1984

Appl. No.:

6/578052

Inventors:

Steven P. Hanson - Richfield MN
Wayne A. Kuna - River Forest IL

Assignee:

Marvin Glass & Associates - Chicago IL

International Classification:

A63H 1744

US Classification:

446423

Abstract:

A play service center for toy self-propelled reversible drive vehicles that includes a lift ramp powered by the vehicle. Rollers carried by the lift ramp transfer power from the driven vehicle wheels through a pinion gear that engages a stationary curved rack gear to raise and lower the lift and vehicle. At the top of the curved rack gear a number of teeth are omitted and a stop is provided to retain the lift in the raised position. In order to lower the lift, the vehicle drive is reversed. Levered pads provide additional traction for driving the vehicle off the rollers and lift ramp. A power take-off drives service equipment such as a power meter as well as a rotating buffer or drill. The meter includes a biased dial pointer that provides an indication of the power transmitted by the vehicle wheels through the driven rollers.

Appl. No.:

8/138369

Inventors:

James W. Finkowski - Andover MN
William L. Murphy - Maple Grove MN
Steven K. Hanson - Shoreview MN

Assignee:

The Pillsbury Company - Minneapolis MN

International Classification:

B65B 6300

US Classification:

53516

Abstract:

A dough cutting and packing apparatus for cutting a sheet of dough into dough pieces and transferring the dough pieces to containers. A cutting unit is defined by a plurality of cutting plates having dough retaining openings. The sheet of dough is partially sheeted into the dough retaining openings by an initial compressor roll which is spaced from an upper surface of the cutting plates. A terminal compressor roll contacts the upper surface of the cutting plates, and acts to sheet a remaining portion of the dough sheet into the dough retaining openings to divide the dough sheet into a plurality of dough pieces retained in the openings. The initial compressor roll is driven at a peripheral rate of speed that exceeds an instantaneous liner rate of speed of the cutting unit. The terminal compressor roll is frictionally driven via contact with the cutting plates such that a peripheral rate of speed of the terminal compressor matches the linear rate of speed of the cutting unit. A packing mechanism transfers the dough pieces from the cutting unit to the containers as the containers are moved relative to the packing mechanism by a plurality of flighted augers.

Filed:

Oct 27, 1976

Appl. No.:

5/736265

Inventors:

Steven P. Hanson - Bloomington MN

International Classification:

A63H 3300

US Classification:

46 1C

Abstract:

An action toy having a platform with a resilient sheet member providing a playing surface of the upper side, the sheet member being supported so as to leave a space beneath it, and a manually operated, elongated leaf spring mounted so as to extend partially beyond the platform and partially within the platform underneath the sheet member in such a position as to intermittently engage the under side of the sheet member when the resilient strip is vibrated. The strip is mounted in the platform in such a manner that when the outer portion is vibrated by engaging and then suddenly releasing the outer end, the vibration is transmitted to the inner portion to cause the inner end to intermittently engage the under side of the sheet member. The playing pieces placed on the playing surface are designed for movement therealong when the playing surface is vibrated. For example, the playing pieces may have resilient feet inclined upwardly in the direction of the desired movement.

Appl. No.:

15/743837

Inventors:

- Minneapolis MN, US

International Classification:

H05K 3/46

Abstract:

A polymer film is applied onto a surface of a laminated printed circuit board subassembly having vias. Holes are created in the polymer film to access the vias while the polymer film remains covering adjacent areas. The polymer film with holes allows placement of hole-fill paste in the vias while preventing unwanted hole-fill paste placement or migration to adjacent areas. After filling the vias with hole-fill paste, the hole-fill paste is preferably at least partially hardened or cured, and the polymer film is preferably removed, facilitating further assembly of a printed circuit board without unwanted hole-fill paste in other areas which could be difficult to remove, The invention includes improved processes for fabricating printed circuit boards, and is particularly useful for irregular circuit boards and rigid flex circuit boards. The invention also includes covered laminated printed circuit board subassemblies, covered with a removable polymer film.
