  • Mounting bracket for product sensor
    Patent number: 6441361
    Abstract: A mounting plate for a transmitting and receiving device. The transmitting and receiving devices are securably attached to the mounting plate so that adjustments are not necessary after the plate has been moved. The mounting plate has two mirror panels that reflect the signal generated by the transmitting device and two filtering plates for limiting the divergence of the beam of light to provide greater secured coverage of the area with only one transmitter and receiver.

  • Amusement ride vehicle with motion controlled seating
    Patent number: 6024647
    Abstract: An amusement ride vehicle with motion controlled seating includes a chassis supporting a platform. Guests are transported through an amusement attraction in seating attached to the platform. Preferably, the guests ride in a chair having a hinged seat pan adapted to effect a bouncing motion or a chair adapted to effect a rocking motion. An actuator is advantageously provided to move the chair at a predetermined time. In a preferred embodiment, a triggering mechanism drops the seat pan from an inclined position to a declined position at a predetermined time, and a reset assembly returns the seat pan to the inclined position.
