  • Publication number: 20150059905
    Abstract: A pipe assembly for an exhaust system having a pipe with first end and a second end. The first end of the pipe having a shoulder with an inclined lip. The inclined lip facing outward from the first end of the pipe. Further, the pipe assembly includes a corrugated conduit having a collared end. The collared end abuts the inclined lip on the first end of the pipe thereby forming a joint with the pipe. Further, a shim ring is disposed on the joint. Furthermore, the assembly includes a clamp configured to circumference the joint and compresses the shim ring there between to form a seal at the joint.

  • Publication number: 20070072682
    Abstract: An electronic poker game assembly preferably provides a head-to-head poker game for two players. The assembly has a housing that is preferably a table and contains at least a portion of a computer system that generates and shuffles a virtual poker card deck, deals the cards and performs other tasks typically associated with a dealer. The housing supports an electronic player interaction area (EPIA) for each player and a common display area. Dealt virtual hole cards are displayed on screens of each EPIA and virtual common cards are preferably displayed on a screen of the common display area. Mechanical actuators for each EPIA are operated by the players when playing poker, sending electric signals to the computer system for play of the game.

  • Publication number: 20060055114
    Abstract: A table game apparatus including a substantially planar table top having an upper surface and a lower surface extending to a border. The table top defines a centrally located electronic display. A plate is attached to the lower surface for supporting the table top. A support frame supports the table top. A hinge is used for pivotal movement of the table top relative to the support frame between a closed position and an open position. The plate presents a plate aperture substantially co-extensive with the electronic display and the plate is connected to the hinge for supporting the table top.
