Launcher For Launching Multiple Fireworks Projectiles

View page
US Patent:
52824551, Feb 1, 1994
Filed:
Jun 11, 1992
Appl. No.:
7/897306
Inventors:
William G. Adamson - Pacoima CA
Donald Updyke - Palmdale CA
Assignee:
The Walt Disney Company - Burbank CA
International Classification:
F41B 1102
F41A 918
F41F 304
US Classification:
124 59
Abstract:
A launcher for holding and successively launching a plurality of projectiles, such as fireworks projectiles, which explode into an aerial pyrotechnic display. The launcher includes a pressure tank containing a compressed gas and a plurality of launching tubes for holding the projectiles. The launching tubes are constructed to form a magazine to enable successive launching of fireworks projectiles by appropriate indexing of the magazine and thus the launching tubes. A control apparatus opens and closes a valve to introduce compressed gas into one of the launching tubes to launch a projectile into the air. Indexing of the launching tubes when the pressure tank is pressurized prior to launch is prevented by a stop mechanism. The stop mechanism also prevents inadvertent or accidental detonation of the projectile in the launching tube. The launcher further includes an aiming apparatus comprising actuators that support the launcher and which are adjustable to change the launching angle of the launcher with respect to the ground each time a new launching tube is indexed to a launching position.

Method Of Launching Multiple Fireworks Projectiles

US Patent:
54151520, May 16, 1995
Filed:
Nov 12, 1993
Appl. No.:
8/152223
Inventors:
William G. Adamson - Pacoima CA
Donald Updyke - Palmdale CA
International Classification:
F41B 1100
F41B 1102
F41B 1132
US Classification:
124 59
Abstract:
A method of successively launching a plurality of projectiles, such as fireworks projectiles, which explode into an aerial pyrotechnic display. The projectiles are launched from a launcher having a pressure tank containing a compressed gas and a plurality of launching tubes for holding the projectiles. The launching tubes are constructed to form a magazine to enable successive launching of fireworks projectiles by appropriate indexing of the magazine which brings the launching tubes into registration with the output port of a valve. The valve introduces compressed gas into one of the launching tubes to launch a projectile into the air. Indexing of the launching tubes when the pressure tank is pressurized prior to launch is prevented by a stop mechanism. The stop mechanism also prevents inadvertent or accidental detonation of the projectile in the launching tube. The method further includes the step of aiming the projectiles, preferably with an aiming apparatus comprising actuators that support the launcher and which are adjustable to change the launching angle of the launcher with respect to the ground each time a new launching tube is indexed to a launching position.

Video Gateway Having Movable Screens

View page
US Patent:
57085277, Jan 13, 1998
Filed:
Mar 29, 1996
Appl. No.:
8/624284
Inventors:
William G. Adamson - Glendora CA
Gordon E. Liljegren - Burbank CA
Michael H. Peterson - Glendale CA
Christopher Brian Smith - Pasadena CA
David W. Spencer - Saugus CA
Donald L. Updyke - Palmdale CA
James S. Wassell - New Smyrna FL
Assignee:
Sony Corporation - Tokyo
Sony Corporation of America - Park Ridge NJ
International Classification:
G03B 2156
US Classification:
359451
Abstract:
Multiple large screens on movable arms form a gateway beneath which viewers may walk. The screens slide up or down, i. e. , toward or away from, the viewers walking below. The screens also pivot in a circular arc to sweep toward, or away from, the viewers. In one embodiment a number of vertical support beams are employed. Elongated arms are attached to the support beams at one end so that the arms can each be rotated about their attached ends. The arms also slide up and down the length of the support beams. Projection screens are attached to the arms so that the screens move as the arms move. In a more specific embodiment each screen is provided with a rear-projection projector for displaying images onto the screens. A computer is used to control the sliding and rotating of the support beams so that preprogrammed patterns can be executed. A computer is also used to control the projectors so that coordinated patterns of images are displayed on the screens.

Soup Bowl Attraction

View page
US Patent:
61685313, Jan 2, 2001
Filed:
Jun 15, 1999
Appl. No.:
9/333197
Inventors:
William George Adamson - Glendora CA
Donald Lewis Updyke - Palmdale CA
Assignee:
Sony Corporation - Tokyo
Hyper Entertainment Inc. - Burbank CA
International Classification:
A63J 502
US Classification:
472 61
Abstract:
A simulated soup bowl entertainment attraction, comprising: a bowl-shaped member having a top bounded by a top rim, a bottom permitting light transmission therethrough, and sidewalls connecting the top rim with the bottom; a fog generator producing a fog layer at the top of the bowl-shaped member; and an imaging device producing an image within the bowl-shaped member, the image viewable from a viewing position looking down into the top of the bowl-shaped member. Preferably, the bowl shaped entertainment attraction includes an image controlling apparatus coupled to the imaging device for changing the image viewable from the viewing position. Optionally, apparatus producing sound within the bowl-shaped member may be provided. The bowl shaped entertainment attraction may include a sound controlling apparatus coupled to a sound system for selectively changing the sound heard from within the bowl-shaped member.

Simulated Ball Movement Game System And Method

View page
US Patent:
20010041607, Nov 15, 2001
Filed:
Dec 28, 1998
Appl. No.:
09/221541
Inventors:
J. WALT ADAMCZYK - PASADENA CA, US
DONALD L. UPDYKE - PALMDALE CA, US
WILLIAM GEORGE ADAMSON - GLENDALE CA, US
International Classification:
A63F009/24
US Classification:
463/002000
Abstract:
In a system and method for simulating a ball movement game, the system includes an input ball adapted to enable movement of a simulated ball in a graphical representation of the simulated game, responsive to movement of the input ball imparted by the player. The system further includes an air bearing for supporting the input ball so as to enable the player to directly impart movement to the input ball. The system also includes an optical encoder for generating the parameters of movement of the simulated ball responsive to detecting the parameters of movement of the input ball imparted by the player. The system still further includes a processor and software adapted to simulate a ball and movement of the simulated ball, responsive to the parameters of movement of the input ball detected by the optical encoder, and to simulate a game environment for movement of the simulated ball therein.
