Abstract: A material handling apparatus for use with a material carrier board including an aperture, the material handling apparatus being configured to couple to a lifting portion of a lift truck that includes forks, the material handling apparatus including a mount configured to be coupled to the lifting portion of the lift truck, a backrest having a bottom edge and a front face, a scissor structure coupled to the mount and to the backrest, the scissor structure being configured to operate between extended and retracted states, wherein when the scissor structure is operated from the retracted state to the extended state, the backrest is extended from a proximal end of the forks towards a distal end of the forks, the stop plate being attached to the backrest such that the horizontal planar portion is substantially perpendicular to the front face of the backrest, the vertical planar portion is substantially parallel to and offset from the front face of the backrest, the horizontal planar portion of the stop plate formi

Abstract: A case flow system includes a case flow roller bed having a proximal portion having a front end, a plurality of laterally extending axles disposed parallel to said front end and longitudinally spaced apart from each other, and a plurality of wheels disposed in a spaced-apart pattern along each of said axles, a distal portion having a rear end, and a movable stop member positioned between the proximal portion and distal portion of the case flow roller bed; at least one lower bar extending laterally and at least partially across the front end of the proximal portion of the case flow roller bed; and a fixed upper bar extending laterally across the front end of the proximal portion of the case flow roller bed, the fixed bar being vertically spaced apart from and above the lower bar so as to define a gap therebetween.

Abstract: A gaming device that enables players to accumulate awards until there are no more awards or until one or more termination variables reaches a predetermined limit is provided. A random generation device generates awards upon a player input. One or more termination variables is used, each defined by or divisible into a plurality of units, wherein a random generation device generates an amount of units upon a player input. A game termination limit of accumulated or lost termination units is provided, wherein a player generates awards until accumulating the termination limit of units.

Abstract: An electronic gaming terminal includes a game portion which allows a user to select one component from among a plurality of components, in each of a plurality of categories. Preferably, at least one category relates to an entertainment component such a selecting a song, video or the like, and/or selecting an artist, performer and the like. A bonus prize is awarded in an amount correlating with the degree of correspondence with the selections made by the user and a final, preferably randomly selected, combination. In one aspect, one prize is awarded if a player correctly guessed only the artist and a higher prize or bonus is awarded if the player selected correctly both the artist and the song. In one embodiment, the player's selected song is performed during at least a portion of the bonus procedure.

Abstract: A single point watering system for a battery having a plurality of cells is provided with a bracket secured to an end wall of a battery casing in overlying spaced relation to an upper surface of at least one cell of the battery. A clamp is provided for securing an inlet fitting on the filler tube of the single point watering system to the underside of the bracket for securely positioning the inlet fitting in a protected, readily accessible location for quick connection and disconnection with a water supply system.
