  • Patent number: 10201725
    Abstract: A sport swinging resistance exercise device is described that is designed for providing air resistance when swinging elongated sports equipment. An athlete can change the amount of air resistance by either using a different air resistance vane, or a resistance vane with variable opening features. An alignment marker for a right-handed athlete and second alignment marker one for a left-handed athlete is used to orient the sports swinging exercise device to operate optimally. The sports swinging exercise device is made mainly from durable, light-weight materials such as rip-stop nylon, for lightness and air blocking capabilities. When not in use the sports swinging exercise device and other optional air resistance devices can be stored in a small storage bag to keep them together and for easy transportation and accessibility in an equipment bag such as a batting bag.

  • Patent number: 6027025
    Abstract: A currency storage and dispensing apparatus (20) includes a top member (22) defining an upper interior cavity (34), a bottom member (36) defining a lower interior cavity (48), and a slider (64). The top member and the bottom member can be connected to define a storage cavity (49) for the secure storage of a quantity of currency (58). A display notch (80) is formed through a corner of the top member allowing a corner of the currency stored within the apparatus to be exposed. An angled dispensing slot (82) is formed through the upper wall of the top member and intersects with the display notch such that single currency bills can be dispensed through the slot. A currency storage drawer (100) is also provided in which a plurality of bill dispensing units (102) can be secured by a rod (106).

  • Patent number: 6003008
    Abstract: A point of sale device (20) is provided comprising a base unit (22) and a cover unit (34) connected to one another by a hinge mechanism (38). The base unit has a front surface (24) and an exterior casing (25) which define an interior volume. Transaction appliances, for example, a card reader (26), receivables storage drawer (28), a currency storage drawer (30), and a bar code scanner (32), are mounted in the interior volume and accessible from the front surface of the base unit. The cover unit includes a display screen (36) mounted on one side. The cover unit can be moved between a closed configuration and an open configuration. In the closed configuration, the cover unit is positioned with the display screen facing and directly in front of the front surface of the base unit such that the display screen is not visible and access to the transaction appliances in the base unit is blocked by the cover unit. In the open configuration, the user can access the display screen and the transaction appliances.
