  • Patent number: 5020702
    Abstract: A liquid pouring spout particularly for automotive fluids such as oil and antifreeze has provision for attachment to multiple container thread sizes, has a in-line valve for shutting off the flow of liquid adjacent to the inlet end of the device, and includes a removable cap for closing the downstream end of the pour spout, captively connected to the pour spout. The pour spout has a flexible portion for permitting bending as desired while pouring the liquids. With the valve and closure cap, the pour spout apparatus eliminates problems of dripping during or after use of the spout. The apparatus can include a funnel with a thread for connection to the pouring spout, for use with containers not having a compatible thread or in other situations where a funnel is desired.

  • Patent number: 4892313
    Abstract: A device in the configuration and appearance of a slot machine enables a lottery player to compare the combination of numbers he has selected and entered in the lottery with the winning series of numbers from a lottery drawing. A window in the front of the fanciful slot machine device displays numbers which are set by the user in accordance with the winning numbers drawn in the lottery. The settable numbers may be mechanical or electronic, such as LED. Below the winning lottery number window is a window or series of windows disposed in a horizontal line, for displaying the user's selected combination of numbers from a lottery ticket fed through an infeed slot and into position by means of an advancing wheel or knob which may be manually rotated by the user. All number combinations selected by the user can be compared directly with the winning numbers by advancing the ticket, number series by number series, to make comparisons sequentially to the winning number combination.
