Abstract: The invention consists of an open enclosure with pairs of spaced and parallel horizontal channels extending between end members front and rear and having a source of illumination therein. Cartridges are slideable from one end between adjacent tracks and these cartridges carry replaceable opaque plates having transparent indicia thereon. The plates slideably engage the cartridge from the upper side of the cartridge and between spacer bars. One piece gates close off all of the tracks so that a single lock such as a padlock for the front and rear gates can lock the entire assembly against tampering or unauthorized removal of the cartridges and plates. An alternative embodiment permits loading of the cartridges from the upper longitudinal side for substantially permanent signs with limited side access and the gates are then situated along the upper edge. If ony one side of the sign is to be used, then a blank plate or panel is inserted on the other side spanning the entire rear side of the sign.

Abstract: The apparatus is comprised of a platform with a teeing mechanism operated by a user. The user depresses a lever arm that depresses a tee and that activates a dispensing mechanism that feeds golf balls to the tee in its depressed position. The mechanism is comprised of a set of levers, a ratchet and an axle which extends into a reservoir of gold ball dispenser. The reservoir includes a hole leading to a chute that terminates at a vertical tube in which moves a depressible tee. On the axle, within the reservoir, is a flexible rotating disk with a plurality of oval holes. As the disk rotates, balls in the reservoir fall into the holes, and as the holes pass over the hole in the reservoir, the balls fall into the chute and onto the tee. The ratchet coordinates the motion of the flexible disk so that one ball is moved into position over the hole in the reservoir for each depression of the tee.
