International Classification:

B62B 302

US Classification:

280651

Abstract:

A cart with foldable side panels for transporting groceries and similar articles is shown. The cart includes a handle movable between a stowage position and an extended position for pulling the cart. A linkage couples the motion of the handle between its stowage position and its extended position to the side panels for causing the side panels to be in their folded position, resting upon the flatbed of the cart, when the handle is in its stowed position, and the side panels to be in their upstanding or erected position when the handle is in its extended position.

Abstract:

A golf putting device having an inclined ramp and an abutting normally plane surface having a hole for receiving a golf ball stroked toward the hole and traversing the ramp and plane surface. Lifting rods are disposed for cooperating with the normally plane surface for distorting the normally plane surface. In a typical example, the mat covering the plane surface is slightly elevated at one location by one of the lifting rods disposed underneath the mat. A control handle and slide rod are coupled to the lifting rods to control the amount of elevation as well as the location in the horizontal plane.

Inventors:

Luther G. Simjian - Fort Lauderdale FL

International Classification:

G06K 700

US Classification:

235380

Abstract:

An apparatus for determining the validity of an encoded check adapted to operate a metering device comprises means for accepting the encoded check. Decoding means decode the check and provide a check code responsive signal. Additionally, the apparatus includes subscriber operated code means to provide a subscriber identifying code signal. Computer means check for correlation of these signals and also are programmed to check credit data. If the computer means determines authenticity, a signal is provided to check storage and dispensing means for issuing a new check which in character and nature is substantially identical with the accepted check, except for encoding. Prior to rendering the check available to a subscriber, the new issued check is encoded for causing it to be operable with a predetermined metering device. In the alternative embodiment, the same check accepted is re-encoded and rendered available to the subscriber.

International Classification:

A63B 6936

US Classification:

273176FA

Abstract:

A golf practice putting device comprises an elongated mat upon which a golf ball is propelled from one end to an opposite elevated end. A cup simulating aperture is provided at such opposite end, and a ball entering the aperture is conveyed to a first receptacle disposed behind the aperture where the ball is retained. Balls propelled beyond the aperture and missing the aperture, reach a trough shaped portion where the balls fall into a second receptacle also disposed behind the aperture and are retained therein. By comparing the quantity of balls in the respective receptacles, a player's score can be determined. Also counting means are disposed to automatically count the balls entering the aperture and received in one of said receptacles.
