20110148037ADJUSTABLE GAMING REEL - A reel assembly for a gaming machine is disclosed. In accordance with an important aspect of the invention, alignment of the center lines of the symbols can be accomplished without the need to remove the reel assemblies from the gaming machine. The reel assembly includes a two piece motor mount assembly that carries a stepper motor and a lamp assembly. The two piece motor mount assembly includes a fixed mounting ring that is rigidly secured to a fixed reel assembly support and a rotatable mounting ring that is rotatable with respect to the fixed mounting ring. The rotatable mounting ring is interlocked with fixed mounting ring to enable rotation of the rotatable mounting ring, for example, by way of a tongue and groove arrangement with respect to the fixed mounting ring. The lamp assembly is also mounted to the rotatable mounting ring. An adjustment screw for locking the angular position of the fixed mounting ring with respect to the rotatable locking ring is accessible along a direction generally accessible while the reel assemblies are installed in the gaming machines. As such, alignment of the symbol center lines can be accomplished without removing the reel assemblies from the gaming machine.06-23-2011

20120080867Steerable and/or Convertible Sport Boards - A sport board is provided having a running surface which provides improved steering and directional control of the sport board. In one embodiment, the sport board has an arcuate bottom with a series of alternating ridges and grooves. The central ridges and grooves run parallel to the longitudinal axis of the board, while the ridges and grooves in the side areas run perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the board. In a second embodiment, the sport board comprises a bottom having a small number of a larger ridges and grooves which arrangement provides better control. By use of either approach, however, turning and cornering of the board is more controllable. The board is also fitted with foot straps so as to be easily convertible from a sport board configuration to a snowboard configuration.04-05-2012

The globe is removable from the base, and can be replaced with other globes, to create different effects. Additionally, the circulating fluid amusement device of the present invention is preferably provided in a packaging system which allows the circulating fluid amusement device to be tested and/or its functionality demonstrated without having to remove it from its shipping packaging.04-12-2012
20120085676Activatable Packaged Articles - A packaged article comprising in combination the article retained within packing having at least a portion by which the article may be visually observed; wherein the article has (i) operation means to effect operations of a desired function of the article; and (ii) control means by which the packing operation means is controlled and the packing allows of access to the control means to effect operation of said operation means to produce the desired function. As a result, the desired function of the article can be tested and seen by a potential purchaser even though the article is still sealed in its package.04-12-2012
20120086179Rideable Snow Sled with Replaceable Nose Section - A replaceable nose section is provided for use on a rideable snow sled wherein the nose section comprises a support structure which can be easily fitted to a snow sled, and a flexible, resilient nose section shell which is adapted to be fitted to the support structure. The support structure can be easily removed and replaced on the snow sled by the use of hooks and spring-loaded clasps, or the like, which attach to the handlebars and/or handlebar or steering assemblies of the snow sled. As such, the nose section can be easily removed from the support structure and/or the support structure can be easily removed from the snow sled. This facilitates replacement of the nose section on the snow sled.04-12-2012
20120088431Child's Activity Toy - A child's activity toy having a support board to which a variety of differently coloured discs can be magnetically attached. The coloured discs are dispensed with disc dispenser pens adapted to house and dispense the discs, and thus create a coloured image. The image created can be viewed using 3D imaging technology, and an enhanced visual effect can be observed when the images are observed under Ultraviolet light. A disc collection and sorting system is also included in the activity toy of the present invention.04-12-2012
20120171921Child's Activity Toy and Disc Dispenser Therefor - A child's activity toy comprises a plurality of dispensers which will dispense circular discs onto a flat magnetic surface. The circular discs are of different colours, each colour having its own respective diameter, with the colour being applied to each side of the discs. Each dispenser is specific to its own colour, and is biased to its closed, non-dispensing condition. Pressing the dispensing end of a dispenser against the flat magnetic surface will dispense a circular disc; and moving the dispenser while it is pressed against the flat magnetic surface will dispense a series of circular discs. A frame is provided for the flat magnetic surface, and includes a graduated sorter so as to separate the discs of one colour from the discs of any other colour. The respective dispenser for each colour can be filled with the discs from the respective sorter chamber.07-05-2012
