Abstract:

An apparatus is provided for assisting a user in loading and unloading storage bins and goods to and from the back of a vehicle. The apparatus includes two chain drive supports that are elliptical in shape and positioned vertically and parallel to each other. Two chain drives rotate around sprocket guides attached to the two chain drive supports. Multiple bin carriers are attached on two sides to the two chain drives, and each bin carrier is capable of receiving a storage bin. A support stand that supports the chain drive supports attaches to the vehicle floor via floor mounts. A motor is attached to the support stand and drives a plurality of parallel chain drives, which in turn drive the two chain drives in unison to cause the bin carriers to rotate around each other in an ellipsis.

Abstract:

A bowling toy having a unique ball launching and pin setting means. The miniature bowling ball is placed in a tubular launcher where both gravity and a motorized spinning rubber wheel act to propel the ball down a miniature bowling alley. The rubber wheel can be adjusted in terms of its angular relationship with the ball and in terms of its speed causing the ball to travel slowly or quickly in a straight line or in an arcing trajectory depending on the setting. A pin setting assembly is comprised of a pair of plates one of which is slidable. The non moving plate contains a series of short tubes integral to the bottom and holes at the center of each tube. The pins are set by inserting them into the tubes. The slidable plate is located above the non moving plate and contains a plurality of magnets which correspond to the center of each tubular holder. Ferrous metal elements are molded into the top of each pin allowing the pins to remain suspended above the alley.
