  • Patent number: 7739127
    Abstract: An automated system and method for filing prescription drug claims which includes a point of service terminal which accepts a payment system access card for payment for a purchase of a service and/or product by a customer, where at least part of the purchase is reimbursable by a third party payor. The point of service terminal creates a purchase transaction and during the transaction electronically captures pertinent claim information including a claim authorization or approval number. The point of service terminal uses the pertinent claim information to update a claim records database. The claim records database is accessed by the third party payor and the pertinent claim information is validated. The applicable reimbursement amount, which is determined by the third party payor, is issued as a credit to the customer payment card account or a customer bank account or as a check.

  • Patent number: 4793497
    Abstract: A tilt-shelf cart system includes spaced, parallel uprights mounted atop a wheeled base with merchandise receiving shelves pivotally mounted between the uprights for limited pivotal movement between forwardly and rearwardly inclined positions. The pivot axes of the shelves are positoned so that the shelves, when fully loaded with merchandise, normally pivot toward their rearwardly inclined positions. The shelves are secured in either of the forwardly or rearwardly inclined positions by a latch mechanism which includes laterally extending latch pins which engage selected edges of a latch plate. The pins are withdrawn by a drawbar mechanism which requires both operator hands to operate. The two-handled drawbar is pivotally connected to a connecting link which, in turn, is pivotally connected to a rotatably mounted plate to cause limited rotation of the plate in response to movement of the connecting link.
