Abstract: A palmless golf glove which allows for a normal grip stance of the golf club, chaffing protection for at least the second and third fingers, prevention of slippage and full palm tactility. The palmless golf glove includes a body section for covering a selected portion of the back (anterior) of the hand but not any of the palm of the hand, at least second and third finger receptacles connected to a forward end of the body section, and a wrist band for anchoring the palmless golf glove to the hand without slippage. In the preferred embodiment, the palmless golf glove includes finger receptacles for selected fingers and a body section that completely exposes the palm. The wrist band is connectably operated by a VELCRO (trademark of Velcro, USA) and includes a notch which exposes the styloid process of the wrist. By exposing the palm completely, tactility is maximized. By exposing the ball of the wrist articulative movement is maximized.

Abstract: A substantially homogeneous sprayable cleaning gel composition which is substantially free of suspended encapsulated particles exhibits extended dwell time when sprayed on to a surface as compared to a low viscosity spray cleaner. The extended dwell time and anti-static properties of the sprayable cleaning gel composition give rise to several benefits and advantages. The sprayable cleaning gel composition housed in a spray applicator is usable to clean surfaces at any angle. A preferred method of cleaning surfaces is also described.

Abstract: A mouthpiece for smoking instruments which is structured to be anatomically correct, in that it is structurally compatible with the mouth parts of a user when the mouthpiece is situated in the user's mouth to one side thereof. The mouthpiece is a laterally asymmetrical structure which conforms to the shape of the side of the mouth. The tip is acutely angled in relation to the mouthpiece axis which lateral asymmetry locates the tip so that it does not interferingly affront the tongue and cheek thereby increasing comfort and teeth feel and the port of the tip is directed toward the tongue cavity thereby making inhalation easier and more efficient. The mouthpiece is vertically symmetrical so that by simply inverting the mouthpiece, it can be placed comfortably at either side of a user's mouth. The mouthpiece is preferred to include a groove adjacent the end for interfacingly receiving with the tips of the smoker's teeth.

Abstract: A torqueless buss cable positioner for a compound bow, whereby the buss cables are displaced from the bow plane, yet, optimally, the buss cables do not subject the limbs to any force component perpendicular to the bow plane. The present invention provides two mutually spaced apart outboard guidance locations of the buss cables such that the limbs are not subjected to a force component perpendicular to the bow plane. In the preferred embodiment, this feature is provided by the location of the first and second pulley sets. Further, the present invention provides an inboard guidance location of the buss cables between the outboard guidance locations, whereby the buss cables are laterally displaced a sufficient length from the bow plane to get the buss cables out of the way of the arrow at its nocking location. In the preferred embodiment, this feature is provided by the location of the third pulley set.

Abstract: A diaper equipped with a view flap that allows a guardian to determine whether or not the diaper needs changing with a minimum of intrusion and bother, in that partial disrobing of the diaper is obviated. The view flap diaper according to the present invention is composed of a diaper member having an aperture and a view flap member wherein the view flap member is selectively openable and closable with respect to the aperture of the diaper member. A liquid absorbent inner layer bonded with a liquid impermeable outer layer is the preferred diaper structure. The inner layer may include a liquid permeable liner, and may not have areas of differing absorbency.

Abstract: An anti-tipping device for the saddles of weight lifting benches for preventing accidental tipping of barbells with respect to the saddles, wherein an abutment is provided at the rear stem of each saddle of a weight lifting bench. The anti-tipping device has a guide surface having increasing inclination toward the base of the saddle and terminates in a concave surface spaced from the base on the order of at least the diameter of the bar, and having a radius of curvature at least that of the bar. The anti-tipping device is dimensioned to occlude less than half the distance between the front and rear stems of each saddle, so that the saddles will operate in a completely conventional manner in terms of selectively receiving the bar of barbells when the bar is kept adjacent the front stem, but interferingly abuts the bar when the bar is adjacent the rear stem, so that the barbell is prevented from tipping no matter what the weight disparity may be with respect to the two ends of the bar.

Abstract: A hybrid binder-folder utilizing a foldable ring system for holding pages, which affords the advantage of easy page manipulation of ring binders with the advantage of flat folding of folders. The binder-folder has two side members which are mutually foldable along the centerline therebetween. Two, three or more foldable rings of flat, thin cross-section and of substantially semicircular shape are connected with the side members adjacent with and transverse to the centerline. When the two side members are mutually folded closed, the foldable rings fold along three folds: adjacent each connection with the two side members and at the ring apex. As a result of this foldability feature, the foldable rings are able to flatly fold, thereby permitting the binder-folder to be substantially flat when closed.

Abstract: A crankshaft eccentrically mounted to the engine block bearings of an internal combustion engine for providing improved volumetric efficiency. A modified crankshaft journal and engine block bearing structure is provided at each crankshaft support location so that the connecting rod bearings rotate about an eccentric centerline (EC.sub.L). Eccentricity is achieved by off-setting the crankshaft journals a predetermined distance above the original true centerline (TC.sub.L) of the crankshaft, preferably on the order of about one-quarter to one-half inch. The top dead center (TDC) of each piston remains the same relative to its cylinder, but the bottom dead center (BDC) of each piston relative to its cylinder is lowered by the amount of the off-set because the engine block bearings are lowered with respect to the true centerline of the crankshaft by the amount of the off-set on the crankshaft journals.
