  • Publication number: 20210393821
    Abstract: An apparatus for disinfecting gaming chips includes an ingress, a germicidal radiation source, an egress, an interior, a security system, and a controller. The apparatus is configured to control the passing of untreated gaming chips from the ingress to the interior of the apparatus, then to the egress. The interior of the apparatus has at least one germicidal radiation source. The germicidal radiation source treats the gaming chips such that the gaming chips at the egress are disinfected. The security system is configured to restrict user access to the interior, ingress, and/or egress of the apparatus. The controller is operably coupled with the security system, ingress, egress, and the interior of the apparatus. A method for disinfecting gaming chips includes passing of contaminated gaming chips from an ingress through a plurality of passages in direct line of sight to a radiation sources, irradiating the chips, then to an egress.

  • Publication number: 20120017440
    Abstract: A method of reinforcing an L-shaped motorcycle frame during conversion to a motorized tricycle. The L-shaped motorcycle frame is an inverted L-shape with a horizontal portion and a vertical portion. A tricycle frame is provided having spaced apart side plates with a forwardly and downwardly extending portion which terminates in a mounting attachment. The side plates are fastened to opposed sides of the horizontal portion of the L-shaped motorcycle frame. The mounting attachment is secured to the vertical portion of the L-shaped motorcycle frame. This forms a triangular truss with the forwardly and downwardly extending portion of the side plates of the tricycle frame angled between the horizontal portion and the vertical portion to provide rigid support to the L-shaped motorcycle frame.
