  • Patent number: 7410095
    Abstract: An improved coin box assembly is provided for a coin operated laundry appliance. The assembly includes a mounting bracket mounted in the cabinet of the appliance, a vault mounted within the mounting bracket, and a coin box mounted within the vault. The mounting bracket and vault provide double-wall protection for the coin box so as to inhibit prying. The assembly further includes external and internal plates sandwiching the front wall of the coin box to prevent cutting of the front wall of the coin box. A freely-spinning washer is mounted between the front plate and the front wall of the coin box to preclude a hole saw from cutting out the lock cylinder of the coin box.

  • Patent number: 6360735
    Abstract: An adjustable eccentric for a compound archery bow includes a let-off adjustment module that pivots between two let-off positions. Adjusting the module between a first let-off position and a second let-off position effectively changes the distance between the cable and the pivot axis of the eccentric at full draw, which changes, in turn, the let off. The eccentric is also adjustable to change the draw length within a given range. A dampening device is further secured to the eccentric at a location on the cable take-up groove to absorb and reduce noise generated upon full draw of the archery bow. A weighted idler may also be provided to reduce undesirable shock or recoil.
