A paintball loader system designed to efficiently deliver paintballs to a paintball gun. The drive mechanism is a screw-type design comprising a resilient auger. A microcontroller is programmed to automatically adjust the rotation of the auger based on data from multiple sensor points within the loader. The auger is mounted such that both rotational axial movements are enabled during operation. The axial movement of the auger is used to maintain a constant force on the paintballs awaiting loading within the paintball gun.

Hockey-coaching helmet systems comprising protective headgear having a disguise element adapted to disguise the protective headgear as a baseball-style cap; the protective headgear is intended to be worn by coaches of athletic competitions, such as hockey coaches while maintaining required safety standards for hockey helmets.

A game system with game pieces that have combinations of capture indicia and defense indicia spaced at angular increments.

This invention provides a paintball pod holder system for convenient one-handed removal and replacement of paintball pods. Preferably, one or more rigid paintball pod holders are attached to a belt or other support. A stiff lining of the inside of the paintball pod holder keeps the holder open at the ends and permits convenient insertion of paintball pods. The lining also has a spring clip function to securely hold the paintball pod. There is also a non-slip surface to prevent the system from slipping against the body during use.

A tabletop scaled-down horseshoes game system (200) primarily for use indoors that includes a substantially horizontal playing surface (128) and a pair of scaled-down posts (127) to be used as the target for tossed scaled-down horseshoes. An embodiment for use in commercial establishments provides a token to activate the game, a scoreboard (260), a game timer, and pneumatics (202) to lower the posts when the game is over. The commercial establishment game may also incorporate a vending machine (222) to dispense the scaled-down horseshoes to be used with the game system.

An embodiment for use in commercial establishments provides a token means to activate the game, a means to change and display each player's score, a means to keep track of and display game time, and a means to pneumatically lower the posts when the game is over. The commercial establishment game may also incorporate a vending machine to dispense the scaled-down horseshoes to be used with the game system.

A sports container system that resembles a sports ball, or other sports related object, easily carried or comfortably attached to a user, providing convenient access to the items contained, and displaying indicia representative of advertisers, sports governing bodies, teams, players, and other entities.

The ornamental design for a "personal sports bag system", as shown and described.

A tabletop miniature horseshoes game for use in private residences which includes a substantially horizontal playing surface and a pair of miniature posts to be used as the target for tossed miniature horseshoes. An embodiment for use in commercial establishments provides a token means to activate the game, a means to change and display each players score, a means to keep track of and display game time, and a means to lower the posts when the game is over. The commercial establishment game may also incorporate a vending machine to dispense the 1/10th scale horseshoes to be used with the game.

The ornamental design for a golf putter head, as shown and described.

This invention provides a portable system for adjustably grasping and cradling a model train engine or other car (especially Garden Scale) without damaging it and presenting the desired portion of such engine or car for repair or maintenance. The device used includes: a rectangular longitudinal plywood base plate having in its upper surface a pair of transverse upside-down T-slots with sloppy-fit nut members captured in the T-slots; and a pair of longitudinal plywood vertical side plates, each fitted with vertical bolt members tightenable in the corresponding nut members. When the piece to be worked on is placed between the side plates, with appropriate cushioning, the sloppy fits permit the side plates to be pushed into snug position before tightening. The device also provides a cover with a handle for portability between uses.

This invention provides blowing-operated noisemakers to toy guns of the type which are sized to be graspable by one or two hands and which are pointable by the user. Toy gun devices are provided in which user-blown air may be routed from a mouthpiece to a gun-mounted noisemaker by way of a hollow pipe or hose. Variable noises may be made by the user by controlling the blown air, as by using a rotary whistle. The sounds emanating from the toy gun are emitted in the direction in which the toy gun is pointed.

A game device consisting of a playing board having a "driving" track around the center of the board. The board has multiple lanes, each divided into successive discrete areas bearing players' instructions. The game also includes at least one listing, adapted to have numbered tokens placed thereon, of numbered "defensive driving" tactics. Playing pieces are provided including pieces in the form of cars for movement around the "driving" track in accordance with the roll of a die and game instructions. The players "solve" a plurality of picture cards, each depicting a unique traffic situation calling for certain of the said listed "defensive driving" tactics; and consecutively numbered tokens are provided for selection of the correct tactics in the correct order; and instruction cards are provided for use depending upon the correctness of tactics selected by the player.

A game device consisting of a rectangular playing board incorporating twenty-seven playing areas or squares arranged in nine rows and three columns. The board is visibly marked for division in three equal sectors of nine squares each. There are two sets of nine playing pieces or tokens marked with the numerals "1", "2", and"3", so that each of two players at opposite ends of the board longitudinally may place pieces on the equal sector near that player, the row nearest the player having the highest numbered tokens, the next row having the next highest numbered tokens, and the third row having the lowest numbered tokens, whereby pieces are moved forward in play either directly or diagonally or both according to the numeral indicated on the particular token.
