Abstract: A motorcycle including a frame, an engine mounted to the frame, two wheels mounted for rotation to the frame with at least one of the wheels operably coupled to the engine, a rack coupled to the frame, and a storage case. The storage case including a body and a latch. The body defining a cavity and an opening that provides access to the cavity, and the body including a base that has a recess shaped to receive a portion of the rack. The latch is movably coupled to the base and is movable between an open position that provides access to the recess, and a closed position that inhibits access to the recess. The storage case is movable between an attached position where the portion of the rack is positioned within the recess and the latch is in the closed position, and a detached position where the latch is in the open position and the portion of the rack is positioned outside of the recess.

Abstract: A price-setting control device for a vending machine can be used to set prices for a number of products and to store those prices in a memory. A decimal-type visual display selectively, but simultaneously, displays a "line" number which is assigned to a given product plus the price set for that product. A line-selecting switch, rather than the customer-operated switches of the vending machine, is used to select the desired line number when the price, for the product corresponding to that line number, is to be set. Mode-controlling data for the operation of the vending machine can be stored in selected locations within the memory; and the line-selecting switch plus a price-setting switch can be used to change that data.

Abstract: A detecting magnetic coil is mounted adjacent the authenticity-determining magnetic coil of an electronic slug rejector to distinguish between authentic coins and any copper slugs which might cause the authenticity-determining coil to produce an output which closely simulates the output which that authenticity-determining coil produces in response to authentic coins. The signal from that detecting coil is used to control the accept/reject gate of that electronic slug rejector; and it will effect movement of that gate to "accept" position in the event it detects a non-cupreous object but it will not effect such movement of that gate in the event it detects a copper slug.

Abstract: A coin separating device has a movable coin director which is mounted intermediate an inlet for coins of different predetermined diameters and a plurality of outlets that are generally in register with each other but that are located in separate planes. That coin director responds to the reception thereby of a coin of one of those predetermined diameters to be in a position to direct that coin to one of those outlets; and that coin director responds to the reception thereby of a further coin of another of those predetermined diameters to be in a different position to direct that further coin to another of those outlets.

Abstract: A coin-handling device responds to coins of at least three different values to establish corresponding credits on a movable credit-establishing element. A switch is closed in response to the insertion of each of those coins; and that switch energizes an electromechanical actuator to effect advancement of that credit-establishing element. Only that switch, that actuator, and the mechanical elements associated therewith are needed to effect the establishing of those corresponding credits.

Abstract: A circuit responds to a level-sensing device, adjacent a coin-holding tube, to cause an electric motor to rotate a coin-receiving drum until sufficient coins issue from that coin-receiving drum to fill that coin-holding tube. Ordinarily, coins will issue from that coin-receiving drum in such rapid succession that the motor need not be energized very long. However if, because some coins within that coin-receiving drum interact to form a "bridge" which retards or prevents the issuance of other coins from that coin-receiving drum, or if for any other reason coins do not issue from that coin-receiving drum, the circuit will keep that motor energized for a finite length of time, will de-energize that motor, and will energize that motor for a second finite length of time.

Abstract: A coin-moving member adjacent a coin-holding tube has a surface which can engage one part of the periphery of the end-most coin. Each endmost coin defines a plane perpendicular to the axis of the coinholding tube; and a connection between a coin-moving member and a source of motive power is intermediate that plane and the opposite end of the coin-holding tube. As the source of motive power moves the coin-moving member to dispense a coin, an axially-directed component of force will develop between the coin-engaging surface of the coin-moving member and the periphery of that coin; and that axially-directed component of force will be directed toward the opposite end of the coin-holding tube, and it will hold that coin-engaging surface in tight engagement with the periphery of that coin.
