Abstract: An inventive device for removing the concealing coating on a gaming ticket is disclosed. The device is comprised of a top member and a bottom member, which join at an arcuate end, forming a flexible jaw-like structure. The top member joins to a downward-depending member having a scraping surface at its terminus. In use, a gaming ticket is inserted into the jaw-like structure and the top and bottom members are squeezed together to bring the scraping surface to bear against the concealing coating on the face of the ticket. As the ticket is pulled free of the jaw, the concealing coating is gradually peeled free from the face of the ticket by the scraping edge, thereby exposing the prize indicia located on the ticket face.

Abstract: A machine for driving posts, drills, large spikes, and the like work pieces into the ground, pavements, or wall structures. The machine comprises an elongated tower, a carriage, a hammer, a combination of an elongated two-way cylinder and a pulley system, at least one control valve box, a plurality of hydraulic pressurized lines, a plurality of hydraulic conduits, and a plurality of fasteners. The tower has two parallel rails for the hammer to slide upward, and then downward so as to exert a force upon the work piece toward a work surface. The machine may further include two two-way cylinders, a hammer guide, constraining springs and an interchangeable plate.
