Apparatus and method for integrated passenger seat and toilet for vehicles. The apparatus includes a structural seat, an integrated toilet, a water supply, a waste system and a swivel mechanism. The method includes modifying the vehicle, supplying the apparatus, installing the apparatus and using the apparatus. The passenger seat rotates to lockable positions for use in multiple orientations. Segmented seat cushion is hingeably attached to structural seat members and molded to provide a seal with the toilet seat below. Water is pumped from a reservoir through a flexible hose to a ported water rinse ring in the toilet. Wastes are released through a flapper mechanism into a holding tank sanitarily sealed to the toilet. Privacy curtain is provided.

Integrated passenger seat and toilet apparatus and method

A board game in which the board has a plurality of congruent playing spaces with each space adjacent to at least one other space. A primary playing piece, which has a base and an upright body portion connected to the base, is provided with arms pivotally mounted on the body portion and spanned by a transverse bar to provide for a forward pivotally thrusting movement of the hand ends of the arms. Secondary playing pieces on adjacent spaces that are facing the primary playing piece may be zapped or knocked over by the forward pivotal thrust of the arms. The pieces are provided with a base and an upright body portion that is higher than either dimension of the base to facilitate knocking over the piece when it is zapped. Wall indicia along lines defined by adjacent spaces prevent movement of the pieces across the wall but permit zapping of a secondary piece by a primary piece across the wall.

Board game having pieces with pivotal arm

A board game in which an articulated token is moveable along a serpentine path on a game board having path rows of spaces separated by intermediate zones with each intermediate zone containing an end turning space. The token has a number of disks joined together by a bead chain that permits a disk to be turned from one side to the opposite side, which is distinguished by color or other indicia, independently of the other disk segments as well as to permit the movement of the token along the serpentine path. A shooter moveable along the edge of the board is provided for hitting individual disk segments rendering them inoperable and requiring the player to turn the hit segments over to indicate their inoperability. Blocking tokens, both moveable and fixed, are also provided to protect the articulated token from being hit by the shooter as well as to hinder movement of the articulated token along the serpentine path.

Board game utilizing articulated playing pieces

A board game in which a horizontal playing surface is defined by an array of hexagonal spaces, each space abutting the adjacent space, and a number of vertical walls disposed along lines formed by adjacent hexagonal spaces. Player start spaces are provided and a target is located on a site remote from the start spaces. Available paths of movement from space to space are limited by the walls but the player token has a marker movable parallel to the planar surface and transverse to the playing surface to pass over a wall. Both the player and the target may attack each other when they are on an aligned file of spaces, however, the target is further required to be facing the player token in order to attack. The playing spaces include defense zones armed by the presence of a defense playing piece in the form of a missile silo or cannon and activated by a chance drum borne by the target along with a number chance drum. The player's token is in the form of a plane or rocket and play is commenced with certain fuel allocations that may be increased by landing the token on fuel tanks on the playing surface.

Board game with chance device playing piece

A board game includes a game board with a pattern of playing positions, defined on a playing surface, conveniently arranged in a gridwork pattern. A first set of playing pieces, positionable on the various playing positions defined on the playing surface, are arranged initially equally on two opposite sides of the game board. The two separated groups of playing pieces are movable across the game board towards one another, the object of the game being for each of the players to get his or her assigned group of playing pieces across the board to the other side before the other player. The second set of playing pieces are positionable on the various playing positions defined on the playing surface and are movable transversely across the game board in order to help or interfere with the progress of the first set of playing pieces across the game board. A chance selection device governs the movements of both the first and second sets of playing pieces.

Board game with reversible secondary pieces

A board game for two to four players in which each player is assigned an individual, flippable, playing piece that is used to chase an exchangable general playing piece which is able to earn points. The players move their pieces on a board having a number of paths of spaced indicia with reversible and collectable markers positioned atop the indicia. Initially one of the players is determined to be the one using the exchangable playing piece. The exchangable piece carries a spinner for determining its advancability. The other players, using another spinner, chase and try to catch the exchangable piece with the aggressive character of their assigned pieces facing upwardly. When an encounter between the general piece and one of the assigned pieces occurs, the outcome is determined by which side of the assigned piece faces upwardly. The character of the assigned pieces may be changed either by the spinner or by returning to the starting position.
