  • Patent number: 6854200
    Abstract: Skate shields have a resiliently flexible protective shell with an upper portion curved so as to cover a medial side of the boot from near the toe to the instep and at least from the sole plate on the inner (medial) side of the boot over the boot to the outer (lateral) side of the boot. The protective shells are asymmetrically shaped, their continuity being broken in a location away from the medial side. The lower, inner medial edge of the upper shell is curved to contact and follow the medial side edge of the sole plate while a tongue extends transversely under the sole plate to hook the shield along the sole plate medial edge. The front end rests on the reinforced toe of the skate.

  • Patent number: 4822235
    Abstract: An apparatus for breaking and stripping coins from a coin roll includes a pair of elements each having a channel adapted for receiving a portion of the coin roll and support members supporting the pair of elements in a first orientation adjoining one another with channels aligned for simultaneously receiving an elongated roll of wrapped coins. The support members further permit translational movement of the elements relative to one another to a second orientation with channels transversely displaced to break the coin roll simultaneously received in the pair of channels. Each of the elements is provided with a pair of reciprocable arms for gripping the portion of the roll in the channel. Stripper members are passed through the channel and arms of each of the elements and are tiered to first remove coins from the gripped wrappers and then remove the wrapper from the element.
