Abstract: A light, portable and manually-operated golf ball teeing unit which permits a golfer to position a golf ball on a golf tee without bending over and to press the tee into the ground with the ball positioned on the tee. A tee with an associated golf ball is placed in a locked position between a pair of support means which hold the tee and golf ball. The support means are maintained in the closed position by a spring tension device. The tee so positioned is then pressed into the ground by manually forcing the device downward or by applying foot pressure to a footrest affixed to the device for the manual pressure. When the tee is in the ground, two handles are pivoted apart which causes the support means to pivot apart to allow the device to be removed without interfering with the ball on the tee. Stop posts are provided to limit the amount of pivot of the support means. An auxiliary ball feed can be provided for supplying a number of successive balls to the support means.

Abstract: A chemical replenisher system for supplying developer and fixer chemicals to a processor is disclosed. A developer and fixer tank are disposed side-by-side and coupled to the processor by way of hoses. A container-coded dispenser atop the tanks provides a substantially error-free arrangement for introducing the component chemicals into the tanks. A unique outline geometry is associated with each component container. By relating this geometry to a corresponding opening in a template of the dispenser, the introduction of the component chemicals is made error-free. The template openings also serve as guides for the containers. Uniquely designed knife assemblies are disposed below the template openings for piercing the tops of the sealed, chemical-filled containers upon inserting the containers into the template openings. Water is supplied under increased pressure as a mixing source is provided to each tank. A system of sensors provides low level alarm activation and automatic water shut-off.
