Appl. No.:

13/337778

Inventors:

Stephen D. WEINREICH - Monmouth Junction NJ, US

International Classification:

A63F 9/00

US Classification:

273153 R

Abstract:

A slat puzzle having segments of a target image printed on the faces of slats, adjacent to at least one edge of each slat. The target image elements are made visible by offsetting each slat against the next. The offset is achieved by tilting the slats in a box or rack. The slats are constrained by interaction between the slats and the assembly box or rack to fall into uniform tilt and spacing.

Appl. No.:

6/630832

Inventors:

Stephen Weinreich - Monmouth Junction NJ

International Classification:

G09F 1900

US Classification:

40436

Abstract:

A digitizing screen apparatus includes a front diffuser sheet, a grid and a back diffuser sheet which produces a unique digitizing effect. Images are projected from transparent slides onto the back diffuser sheet. A striped mask shields a portion of the back diffuser sheet from the light. Art work is placed on the slides and punched to provide a multiplicity of windows. When no image is shown all of the slides are located so that their windows line up behind the windows in the mask and the art work portions are lined up across from the nontransparent portions of the mask. A solenoid operated drive selectively presents one or more slides at a time to the transparent windows in the mask for projection upon the digitizing screen. A programming mechanism in combination with a damping dash pot associated with the solenoid drive permits one mosaic image to dissolve into another as the first slide is withdrawn and a second slide replaces it. According to one alternative embodiment the grid may be replaced by a simple spacing mechanism having a predetermined gap.

International Classification:

G02B 508

US Classification:

472 61

Abstract:

Method and display for training and other uses, which may be in the form of a special video, diorama, or print format. The preferred embodiment shows a bright visual image against a dark background. This invention is particularly useful in the Illusion Apparatus of U. S. Pat. No. 4,971,312 and in an electronic system also disclosed.

Appl. No.:

7/356063

Inventors:

Stephen Weinreich - Monmouth Junction NJ

International Classification:

G02B 508

US Classification:

272 8M

Abstract:

An illusion apparatus comprises a semi-transparent convex, spherical mirror which makes the image of a primary object, ordinarily a human viewer, appear to interact with a display means such as a television set or a picture or a diorama. The semi-transparent, convex, spherical mirror is located between the viewer and the display means. The viewer is preferably illuminated against a dark backdrop. Because the spherical mirror is semi-transparent, the viewer sees a composite image which includes his own reflection superimposed on a portion of the scene from the television, picture, or diorama behind the mirror. A darkened area is preferably located on the television screen or in the picture or diorama and corresponds to the size and location of the viewer's image. This prevents the scene in the television or diorama from bleeding through the viewer's image. A mirror supporting stand makes it possible to adjust the height of the mirror with respect to the viewer and the display means so as to fine tune the effect.

International Classification:

US Classification:

446130

Abstract:

A figure placed into a first unit and watched through a transparent door is made to disappear and simultaneously to reappear in a remote second unit from which it may be removed. The first unit, also referred to as the sending unit, comprises a housing which includes a multi-chamber turntable which can contain one or more figures. A door in the first unit includes a half silvered mirror and an additional chamber so that a figure in a turntable chamber can be made to seem to dissolve and disappear. A second multi-chamber unit, also referred to as a receiving unit, substantially identical to the first, is connected to the first unit by wires. Selected chambers of the second unit are filled with figures substantially identical to the figures to be sent by the first unit. Initially, a first figure is placed into the first unit. The transparent door closes and locks and the figure seems to dissolve by the transfer of lighting to the additional chamber in the door.

Appl. No.:

7/219457

Inventors:

Stephen Weinreich - Monmouth Junction NJ

International Classification:

G09F 1300

US Classification:

40444

Abstract:

A color display apparatus includes a mechanism for storing images on a plurality of partially transparent sheets. A drive mechanism brings one sheet into viewing position as another sheet simultaneously withdraws in the same direction to produce a smooth dissolve of the projected image. Silk screened stripes of material on the sheets prevent the sheets from rubbing against each other and harming the graphic information and otherwise prevent mechanical interference between the sheets. By contouring the surface of the screen, it is possible to create a three dimensional image by illuminating the rear surface with a television screen or other image storage or producing device. It is further possible to obtain a digitized color display by placing a fluorescent bulb behind the cells of the digitizing screen with each cell containing at least one liquid crystal element and at least one color filter element and then selectively controlling the liquid crystals to produce the digitized color display. The digitizing screen can also be used as an image conversion tool by illuminating original art work on the rear face of the digitizing screen and tracing the digitized image thereof from the front face of the screen.
