Abstract: The golf ball dispensing and teeing device of this invention has an elongated ball dispensing arm (34) pivotally secured to a frame (10). The arm (34) has a loading end and a dispensing end. A spring (SO) connects the arm (34) to the frame (10) while normally holding the loading end at a lower elevation than the dispensing end. A tubular member (54) on the frame (10) above the loading end is adapted to hold a plurality of golf balls comprised of a lower bail (82) with a column of balls (80) supported on the lower ball (82). The loading end of the arm has a dispensing block (44) with a curved notch (52) for holding the lower ball (82) when the dispensing end is at a raised elevation, and for releasing the lower ball (82) when the dispensing end is lower than the lower ball (82). The dispensing block (44) is aligned with the arm (34) so that when the arm (34) is lowered the lower ball (82) will roll down the arm (34) from the loading end. A tee element (24) on the frame (10) below the dispensing end receives the lower ball (82) when the arm (34) is lowered. The tubular member (54) has an upper end with a horizontal plate (62) thereon with an opening (64) to pass a single golf ball therethrough. A plurality of vertically disposed ball compartments (72) are rotatably mounted on the plate (62) with each having an open end adapted to register with the opening (64) in the plate to selectively dispense balls through the opening when the compartments (72) are rotated.

Abstract: A technique for the blocking of individual programs and/or portions of programs transmitted in a source signal, e.g., a cable television signal. In particular, individual programs and/or portions of programs within a class of programs are blocked, while allowing for the viewing of certain other programs even within the same programming class. The transmitted source signal contains individual programs having a transparent program identifier and/or transparent content identifier associated with individual programs in the source signal transmission. As the source signal enters, e.g., a particular subscriber location, the source signal is monitored in accordance with a program viewing profile defined by the subscriber. That is, particular ones of the programs and/or portion thereof available in the source signal transmission supplied to the subscriber can either be unblocked, i.e., viewable, or blocked, i.e., unviewable, at the discretion of the subscriber. The blocking of particular ones of the programs and/or portion thereof is accomplished as a function of the transparent program identifier and/or transparent content identifier associated with a program which is embedded in the video and/or audio component of the source signal. The transparent identifiers are transmitted concurrently with the individual program as the source signal is received at the subscriber location.  Advantageously, the subscriber is given complete control and selectivity over which programs and/or portions thereof are viewed, e.g., by children of the subscriber.

Abstract: Electrical switching apparatus such as a power circuit breaker, network protector or switch has a self-supporting operating mechanism module including a cage formed by a pair of side plates rigidly clamped in spaced relation by spacers. The cage supports all of the operating mechanism components including a helical compression close spring mounted fully between the side plates and coupled to a cam member through a rocker in a manner which maintains the forces longitudinal to the spring. The cam member has a charging cam with a charge profile for compressing the close spring and a close profile through which the spring drives the cam member to effect a controlled release of stored energy to close the contacts of the apparatus. A close prop, spring biased to an unlatched position, is latched to secure the close spring in the charged state by a latch assembly reset by a reset lever separate from the close prop which in turn is reset by rotation of the cam member during charging. An interlock prevents release of the close spring when the contacts are closed or the trip release is actuated. An indicator actuated by a driver pivoted against the cam shaft snaps from a DISCHARGED to a CHARGED  indication as the close spring becomes fully charged and the driver drops into a notch created by a flat on the cam shaft. Rotating shafts are journaled solely in confronting apertures in the side plates. The cam shaft is captured between bushings seated in non-circular openings in the side plates thereby eliminating the need for any fasteners.  Likewise, other parts mounted between the side plates and joined by pins having enlarged heads retained by the side plates do not need retainers. Various shafts extending between the side plates have reduced diameter ends of progressive lengths for successive insertion in one side plate to aid in assembly of the operating mechanism.
