  • Patent number: 4977994
    Abstract: A fare adjustment machine, wherein a card conveyor for carrying a fare-adjusted card and a receipt conveyor for carrying a printed receipt are disposed with their passages intersecting each other so that the surfaces of the card and the receipt cross each other perpendicularly. The receipt is held at one-side at the intersection by a clamp mechanism and released from the receipt conveyor by a release mechanism. The receipt thus held is pushed at its lower side by the card carried by the card conveyor so that it falls down flat on top of the card, and the card and receipt are then then simultaneously discharged from the machine.

  • Patent number: 4134596
    Abstract: An oil seal apparatus, particularly for use with a vehicle engine, wherein an oil seal coacts between a stationary casing and a rotatable shaft which projects through the casing. The oil seal apparatus includes an annular elastomeric seal member having a pair of axially spaced annular lip portions disposed for engagement with the shaft. One lip portion is positioned innermost for creating an oil seal, and the other lip portion is positioned outermost for creating a dust seal. This other lip portion is provided with a auxiliary annular lip which projects axially outwardly along the shaft. The auxiliary lip has an annular groove around its periphery to facilitate transfer of water around the seal member and prevent the water from flowing axially inwardly along the shaft past the dust seal.
