Appl. No.:

10/348129

Inventors:

Gregory Kuppler - Plano IL 64505
Timothy Raymond - Plano IL 64505

International Classification:

F41A 961

US Classification:

124 58, 124 73

Abstract:

The projectile attachments to a forced air compression chamber are devices that are attached to force air compression chambers and permit the user to place the projectile in or on the launch chamber prior to operating the air compression chamber thus making for a more fluid movement. The flexible ball projectile attachment allows the user to place one or more balls into the launch chamber and eject the same in a fluid movement without the aid of mechanical devices. Thus increasing the reliability and decreasing the number of moving parts in the typical ball launching device. The flexible dart type projectile attachment allows the user to place the dart type projection on the launch chamber and then suck air into the air compression chamber through the non-tube openings and when air is expelled from the air compression chamber the flexible diaphragm closes over the non-tube holes thus ejecting the dart type projectiles. Thus making the use of the launch chamber more efficient and easier.

International Classification:

A63H 23/10
A63H 3/06

US Classification:

446153, 446224, 434254, 473593

Abstract:

A swimming hoop with a buoyancy member and flexible frame. By increasing or decreasing the buoyant force provided to the flexible frame by the buoyancy member, the user is able to position the swimming hoop at a desired vertical distance within a body of water. To increase or decrease the buoyant force, a pump is used to increase or decrease the level of air within an air chamber. The buoyancy member is adjustably secured to the flexible frame. The flexible frame may be generally circular, square, or any other shape, and is flexible such that other shapes can be further obtained by twisting or manipulating the flexible frame.

Inventors:

Timothy J. Raymond - West Chicago IL, US

International Classification:

A63B 67/06

US Classification:

273348, 116222

Abstract:

A game apparatus which allows for a target disposed on the top of a pole to be knocked down by a projectile. The game apparatus includes a segmented pole which can be assembled and disassembled easily via coupling mechanisms between each segment. The top segment of the pole includes a top cap where a surface on which targets can be placed, is provided. The bottom segment of the pole is connected to a base which holds the pole up. Alternatively, a stake can be coupled to the bottom segment of the pole to drive the pole into the ground directly. A scoring mechanism along the surface of the poles is provided, as well as a target illuminating device to enhance the visibility of the target. The top cap of the pole can also include illumination such that the game can be played even in low ambient light.

Inventors:

Timothy Raymond - West Chicago IL, US

International Classification:

B28B 17/00

US Classification:

264109, 249 13

Abstract:

A collapsible container comprising detachable nested sections. The nested sections are tapered and coaxially disposed. Nested sections can be disposed within the largest section in its collapsed position. In its expanded position, the lower portion of a section engages with the top portion of the section immediately below the upper section to mechanically lock the sections into its expanded formation, such that the container is self supporting. The sections are detachable, and when overturned and removed, can be used as a mold for creating parts of a sand castle. The removed sections can be joined in sequence to other removed section to vary the volume of sand being molded. The sides of each section comprise decorative molding shapes or patterns for creating parts of a sand castle. The bottom surface of the mold further comprises mold shapes for creating part of a sand castle when overturned.

US Classification:

124 201

Abstract:

A hand-held balloon launch device is provided. The device has a launch support with a handle. The device has at least two elastic thrust bands connected to the launch support and configured to creating potential energy when the elastic portion is drawn away from the launch support. The device has a balloon basket portion connected to the elastic thrust bands opposite the lunch support, The balloon basket has a first elastic cord and a second elastic cord and a balloon support connected to and extending between a portion of the first and second elastic cords.

TIMOTHY J. RAYMOND - WEST CHICAGO IL, US

International Classification:

A63B 41/00

US Classification:

473603

Abstract:

A game ball with improved grippability for use in wet environments. The game ball contains an inflatable bladder and an outer shell. The outer shell has at least one water absorbent layer to improve the grippability of the ball. The outer shell has an outer layer, an inner layer, and an intermediate layer which is the water absorbent layer. The outer shell is made of a plurality of adjacent panels joined with one another at seam lines. The outer layer may be a nylon polyester fabric, the inner layer may be a cotton polyester fabric. The water absorbent intermediate layer may be a foam or sponge layer.
