Emerson Electric Co. - St. Louis MO

International Classification:

E03C 1/266

US Classification:

4695

Abstract:

A sink flange and collar assembly for a food waste disposer includes a sink flange having a tubular body portion and an annular flange transversely extending from the tubular body portion. An outer radial surface of the tubular body portion having at least one first dimple extending outwardly from the outer radial surface. A collar has a dimple attachment recess adapted to slidably receive the at least one first dimple, and a dimple insertion track transversely oriented to the dimple attachment recess to releasably engage with the at least one dimple to releasably engage the collar to the sink flange.

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.

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.

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.:

6/691130

Inventors:

Russell G. Rasmussen - Skokie IL
Steven P. Hanson - Richfield MN
Jeffrey D. Breslow - Highland Park IL

Assignee:

Marvin Glass & Associates - Chicago IL

International Classification:

A63H 340

US Classification:

446341

Abstract:

A toy doll with arms and legs mounted for pivotal movement relative to the torso in response to rotational movement of a bottle nipple in the doll's mouth. One gear on a rotatable feed tube within the hollow head of the doll engages vertically oriented racks that then engage spur gears to rotate the arms. A bevel gear also carried by the tube engages a bevel gear on a depending drive shaft that has a crown gear driving a bevel gear for each of the legs. Both the arms and the legs are mounted on spools that freely rotate with respect to the torso. Frictional engagement of the limbs with respect to the spool permit the spool to pivotally drive the arms while also allowing selective, independent angular orientation of each of the limbs with respect to its respective spool.

Assignee:

Marvin Glass & Associates - Chicago IL

International Classification:

A63F 300

US Classification:

273246

Abstract:

A game in which all of the pieces, while movable for play, are captured against removal and loss from the game. Player movable pieces are received for movement along slots extending through the thickness of a playing surface but are captured by upper and lower enlargements against removal. Discreet positional stops are provided along the slots by spaced apart depressions into which a mating truncated conical portion on the movable pieces fits. In one form, a captive rotatable disc cooperates with the playing surface to permit selective opening of covers that obscure indicia matchable with indicia designating positions along a slot path.
