A float-type liquid level gauge is provided for measuring the level within a tank of liquids such as liquified petroleum gases. The liquid level gauge includes a movable float arm (30) coupled by gears (46, 48) to a magnet shaft (26) and magnet (28) mounted in a rigid support arm (24) through a side-accessible shaft passage (110). The support arm is connected to the lower side of a gauge head (22) and the magnet extends into a passage (52) in the gauge head so as to be magnetically coupled to a level indicating dial (34) provided on the upper side of the gauge head.

A covering apparatus (10) includes a cutter (12), an applicator (14) and a continuous length of removable cover material (16). The cutter (12) is adapted to cut off a discrete section (50) of cover material, and the applicator (14) applies the discrete section (50) to a printed media/ticket substrate (52). The covering apparatus (10) may be mounted adjacent to a printer (108) and creates a complete, covered ticket in response to a ticket substrate (52) being ejected from the printer (108) into the covering apparatus.

An electronic printer mechanism having a movable printhead assembly , wherein the printhead is a matrix of selectively heatable semiconductor mesas for producing dot matrix characters one line at a time on a paper medium. The electronic printer mechanism is constructed with a sectional housing including upper and lower housing sections which are releasably secured together to define an interior chamber for receiving components of the electronic printer. The lower housing section is provided with complementary sets of shaft-receiving recesses such that drop-in assembly of components with respect to the lower housing section as received in respective sets of the recesses prior to securement of the upper and lower housing sections together is accomplished. One component assembly comprises an operating shaft on which the printhead assembly including a carrier member fixedly supporting a printhead is mounted for transversing movement therealong. A gear train assembly driven by a rotary power shaft from a motor imparts rotation to the operating shaft and includes a timing control gear for sequentially stepping through the operating cycle of the printer and a paper-advancing gear arrangement. The paper-advancing gear arrangement relies upon a Geneva gear wheel to intermittently advance the paper one line for each periodic rotation of the Geneva gear wheel as the carrier member and printhead supported thereby complete a one line traverse along the rotating operating shaft.

A mounting assembly for holding and moving a propane cylinder between a first operational position and a second lower loading/unloading position with respect to a support structure of a forklift is provided. The mounting assembly includes a base member adapted for connection to the forklift support structure, a cradle for supporting the cylinder between the first and second positions, and first and second pivot arms having a first end pivotally connected to the base member and a second end pivotally connected to the cradle. In the first position, the cradle is in a generally horizontal orientation. In the second position, the cradle is in a generally vertical orientation. Angular movement of the first and second pivot arms causes rotation of the cradle between the generally horizontal and generally vertical orientations.

A resistive element structure for a sender assembly of a gauge is provided. The resistive element structure comprises a first and second resistive element. A first set of contact elements are distributed along a first arc about a pivot point. Each contact element of the first set is electrically connected to the first resistive element. A second set of contact elements is distributed along a second arc about the pivot point. Each contact element of the second set is electrically connected to the second resistive element.

A pen-based portable computer, or pen-tablet computer, for use with a vehicular docking station that allows for the exchange or replacement of components thereof without the need for returning the computer to the manufacturer. The computer utilizes a main or primary housing for the major components of the computer, and a separate, independent, auxiliary expansion unit having its own housing for mounting a replaceable radio module that is connected to the main computer via a multi-pin connector, whereby the replacement or exchange of the radio module for a different one is easily and readily achieved, and where auxiliary or expansion devices may be connected to the main computer thereby, and where the auxiliary device itself serves as a handle for holding the main computer. Also provided is a vehicular docking station for the combined main computer and auxiliary unit, which vehicular docking station is provided with a multi-pin connector for receiving thereby a multi-pin connector of the auxiliary unit when the computer is connected to the auxiliary unit.

A ticket cover applying apparatus includes a cutting mechanism, an applicator, and a continuous length of removable cover material. The cutting mechanism is adapted to cut off a discrete section of cover material, and the applicator applies the discrete section of cover material to a printed media/ticket substrate. The ticket cover applying apparatus may be mounted adjacent to a gaming ticket printer and covers one side of a ticket substrate with the section of cover material when the ticket substrate is ejected from the printer. A cover material path through the ticket cover applying apparatus traverses a ticket substrate path through the apparatus.
