Abstract:
A game in which a flat display panel is suspended by a string or cord around the neck of a player so that the panel is on the back of the player. The panel is provided with hooks or snaps to detachably mount a card thereon containing information on a face of the card so that the information is visible to players but not to the player wearing the card. The cards are divided into categories of information, such as famous people, and each player attempts to guess the identity of the person of the category to which his card relates.
Abstract:
A game apparatus comprised of: a plurality of player game cards, each different from all others and including thereon a combination of randomized words arranged in rows and columns, and each randomized word pertaining to a hobby; a plurality of selection discs, each different from all others and containing one of the randomized words; and a plurality of blank marker discs in which one selection disc is selected and one randomized word on each player game card is covered using one of the blank marker discs. When one of the player game cards is covered by the blank marker discs in a pre-designated pattern (such as a designated line, shape, or four-corner configuration), an item related to the hobby is won.
Abstract:
A three-dimensional puzzle which consists of several mutually permanently connected puzzle bodies which result in a regular tetrahedron in the assembled state. All puzzle elements consist of truncated pyramids of different sizes which are disk-like. All puzzle elements are combined to a chain, in which each puzzle element is connected with the next-larger one along an edge in such a manner that they can be folded about these edges with respect to one another. In this chain, the individual puzzle elements are arranged such that they form a band which winds helically about an imaginary vertical center axis.
Abstract:
A jewelry having a jewelry body, for example, a fashion ring or pendant, and a miniature roulette wheel mounted on the jewelry body. The miniature roulette wheel includes a plurality of rotating wheels respectively fastened pivotally with the jewelry body, each rotating wheel having at least one display unit divided into a plurality of display sectors respectively marked with a respective numerical symbol, and an indicator fixedly fastened to the jewelry body and adapted to point out the numerical symbol of one display sector of each display unit of each rotating wheel.

Abstract:
A ticket scraping device for use with a commemorative coin comprises a two-piece housing having a front section releasably connected to a rear section and defining an opening in a lower end of the housing. The front section further defines a centrally disposed circular aperture while the rear section defines a longitudinally extending slot. The scraping device further includes a slider member having an annular clamping member removably disposed in the housing for releasably holding a coin. The slider member further includes an actuator button disposed in a recess formed in the outer surface of the rear section and having a flange which extends through the slot and is releasably coupled to the clamping member. Therefore, the clamping member along with the coin held thereby may be slidably extended through the opening in the lower end of the housing and retracted within the housing. When extended, the coin is useful for scraping a protective film from a game ticket. When retracted, the coin is completely visible through the circular opening.
Abstract:
A support for a balancing sculpture in the form of an arcuate perch with a hanger mounted on the perch for movement between a first position for suspending the support from a ceiling, and a second position for mounting the support on a wall with the hanger engaging a wall hook.
Abstract:
A three-dimensional puzzle which consists of several mutually permanently connected puzzle bodies which result in a regular tetrahedron in the assembled condition. In this case, all puzzle bodies are parts of irregular pyramids whose apexes, in the assembled condition, all meet at one point in the interior of the tetrahedron and whose bases form the tetrahedron surfaces in the assembled condition. All puzzle elements are also combined to a chain, specifically such that all puzzle elements, with the exception of the first and the last element, are in each case connected with the adjacent puzzle elements while they can be folded along an edge of the pyramid base.
Abstract:
A band permits washers or charms with center holes to be easily snapped on and exchanged, allowing them to be worn and used for adornment and decoration. The bands can be made out of a mold or can have the protrusions attached in a later stage of the production process. The band can be decorated by the washers or charms and can be held in place by the knob-like protrusions that fit through the center hole in the charm or washer. The charm or washer should fit tightly enough to not slip off easily, and not move around. The protrusion can have a cap-like design that is larger than the stem/post which can keep the charm or washer from falling off. The cap cannot be too big, however, as to cover the design of the charm or washer.
Abstract:
A transaction product includes a first cover panel, a second cover panel, and an intermediate sheet, and an account identifier. The intermediate sheet transitions between a collapsed and an extended position and defines fold lines dividing the intermediate sheet into sections. When the intermediate sheet is in the collapsed position, the sections form a stack. The first cover panel is coupled with one of the sections that forms a top of the stack, and the second cover panel is coupled with another of the sections that forms a bottom of the stack. The account identifier is coupled with at least one of the first and second cover panels and the intermediate sheet and links the transaction product to an account or record configured to track a value available for use toward a purchase of one or more of goods and services. Other products, combinations, and associated methods are also disclosed.
