Lever Operated Patents (Class 235/21)
  • Patent number: 6543681
    Abstract: A golf counter has an entirely mechanical mechanism which includes a first lever actuated by a first pushbutton provided at its end with a nose coacting with a first star wheel carrying the movable member of the counter of the number of strokes per hole and subject to the action of a spring detent and a spiral spring. This mechanism includes a second lever whose first arm is subject to the action of a return spring and operationally connected to a second pushbutton, this first arm having a nose coacting with the teeth of the second star wheel carrying the movable member of the counter of the hole number. A second arm of the second lever actuates during its pivoting under the action of the second pushbutton the spring detent thereby freeing the first star wheel leading to its zero resetting by the spiral spring.

  • Patent number: 4436223
    Abstract: A device is provided for recording the dispensing of a predetermined measure of a conductive fluid, e.g. water, alcoholic beverage, etc., from a container outlet. The device comprises an electrical signal generator for generating an electrical signal, e.g. a DC battery, and an electrical counting means disposed to receive this electrical signal. An electrical circuit is disposed to conduct the electrical signal from the generator to the counting means. The electrical circuit includes a switch means which is responsive to the contacting of the fluid from the outlet across a pair of electrical conductors within the outlet. When the fluid flows across the electrical conductors the electrical signal is transmitted to the counting means to record the dispensing of the predetermined measure of fluid.
