Patent number: 11288916Abstract: A gaming machine comprises a cabinet, a display device coupled to the cabinet, a control unit housed within the cabinet, and a multi-tiered user interface coupled to the cabinet. The control unit is configured to direct the display device to display a wagering game. The user interface includes lower and upper tiers disposed at respective lower and upper elevations. The upper tier at least partially overhangs the lower tier. The lower and upper tiers bear respective first and second types of input devices for operating the wagering game.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 2020Date of Patent: March 29, 2022Assignee: SG Gaming, Inc.Inventors: Robert Coon, Christian Kulujian, Paul Lesley

Patent number: 11127245Abstract: A gaming machine includes a cabinet at least partially defining a cavity opening and an internal cavity at least partially visible through the cavity opening, a primary display, a secondary display positioned within the internal cavity and visible through the cavity opening, a display movement assembly coupled to the primary display, and logic circuitry. The display movement assembly selectively moves the primary display between an open position and a closed position in which the primary display blocks visibility through the cavity opening. The logic circuitry causes the primary display in the closed position to present a first portion of a game, causes the display movement assembly to move the primary display to the open position to expose the cavity opening and the secondary display, and, in response to the secondary display being exposed, causes the secondary display to present a second portion of the game.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2019Date of Patent: September 21, 2021Assignee: SG Gaming, Inc.Inventors: Thomas Baker, Robert Glenn, Brian Goldstein, Paul Lesley, Timothy Loose, Abraham Usi, Bran Ferren, Michael Keesling, Donald Lariviere, Robert Liebersbach, Andrew McGraw

Patent number: 11069179Abstract: A gaming machine includes a cabinet, an emotive lighting system coupled to the cabinet the textured surface, and logic circuitry. The emotive lighting system includes a textured surface including a plurality of walls that define a plurality of channels, a first array of light-emitting devices oriented to emit light in a first direction, and an optical waveguide positioned over the first array of light-emitting devices. Each channel is aligned with at least one light-emitting device of the first array, and the optical waveguide guides light from the first array towards the channels in a second direction at an oblique or orthogonal angle relative from the first direction. The logic circuitry causes each light-emitting device of the first array to selectively emit light such that each channel is selectively illuminated with indirect light from the aligned light-emitting device and substantially isolated from indirect light emitted from unaligned light-emitting devices.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2019Date of Patent: July 20, 2021Assignee: SG Gaming, Inc.Inventors: Robert Glenn, Paul Lesley

Publication number: 20080010768Abstract: A cleaning implement that includes a shaft, a mop disposed on one end of the shaft, a wringer, and a fixed grip. The wringer includes a wringing sleeve and a wringer handle. The wringer is movable over a range of travel between a mopping position and a range of wringing positions, in which wringing positions the wringing sleeve covers and compresses at least a portion of the mop to thereby expel liquid from the mop. The wringer is rotatable relative to the shaft through at least a portion of the axial range of travel. The wringer further comprises at least one volute wherein the volute defines a semi-enclosed area inside the wringer, the semi-enclosed area configured to receive a portion of the mop through a gap defined in the volute. The volute includes a first fin and a second fin that define the gap therebetween.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 29, 2007Publication date: January 17, 2008Applicant: Carl Freudenberg KGInventor: Paul Lesley

Publication number: 20070241124Abstract: A storing and dispensing container for product. The container includes a flexible pouch for storing product. A rigid flip top, having a lid connected to a flange by a hinge, is affixed to an outer surface of the pouch at the top portion of the pouch surrounding a removable portion of the pouch. The flange forms a dispensing orifice through which the product can be dispensed when the lid is opened. The lid is removably positionable to seal the pouch at the outer surface when the lid is closed upon the flange.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 11, 2007Publication date: October 18, 2007Inventors: Frederick Buck, Herb Velazquez, Cleary Mahaffey, Yung Huang, Paul Lesley, David Iverson

Publication number: 20050150069Abstract: Disclosed is a cleaning implement, preferably in the form of a roller mop, that includes a mop head, a shaft, and a wringer. The cleaning implement further includes a connecting link connected to the mop head and to the shaft or wringer. The mop head has a connecting side and a cleaning side thereby defining a mop axis, which axis is disposed at an oblique angle with respect to the longitudinal axis of the shaft. At least a portion of the connecting link is disposed with the shaft. The mop head can include a scrubber attachment. Also inventive is the disclosed mechanism by which the scrubber attachment connects to the head of the mop. Various embodiments of mop heads can be used with the invention. A cleaning cloth can be mounted to the mop head.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 12, 2004Publication date: July 14, 2005Applicant: Freudenberg Household ProductsInventors: Paul Specht, Paul Lesley, David McKnight
