Abstract: A hanging display device for displaying pairs of shoes in a side-by-side relationship. The device includes spaced-apart resiliently deformable legs that can be conveniently inserted into the foot-receiving cavities of the shoes in a manner to support the shoes in a hanging relationship. The device also includes a center member that is disposed between the shoes and carries at one end a hook-like member that can be emplaced over a peg or hook provided on a display board. A display panel is affixed to the center member which spans the top of the shoes and provides ample space for displaying product information and promotional material.

Abstract: An improved ball mark repair tool which can be used to relieve compaction of the earth surrounding the ball mark in a correct manner and then gently force the earth upwardly and inwardly about the ball mark so as to raise the turf and properly fill the indentation. More particularly, in one form of the invention, a downward pressure exerted upon the handle of the device will urge spaced apart earth engaging repair prongs to penetrate the earth in an area surrounding the ball mark and then to automatically move the prongs inwardly relative to one another to loosen the soil and urge it inwardly and upwardly so as to correctly restore the surface of the green to a substantially planar condition.

Abstract: A putting practice device in which the diameter of the ball-receiving cup of the device can be made smaller or larger to sharpen the putting skills of the golfer. Additionally, the ball-receiving copy of the device is designed so that golf balls entering the cup during the practice session will automatically roll outwardly therefrom by force of gravity.

Abstract: A manually operated toy film viewer of simple design for viewing an 8 millimeter film loop contained within the housing of the viewer. In operating the toy film viewer, the loop of 8 millimeter film is controllably moved past a viewing aperture by a manual crank handle which is rotatably connected to one side of the hollow housing. The apparatus includes a feed sprocket, a spring biased shutter, a simple optical lens and a translucent screen disposed within a small window which is located opposite the viewing aperture and in close proximity with the film loop. Both the drive sprocket and the shutter of the film viewer are operated by the hand crank which car be easily manipulated by the child to controllably advance the film past the viewing aperture.

Abstract: A lanyard connects a pair of head covers for golf clubs together by a connector section of predetermined thickness with a hole therein for receiving the lanyard. The lanyard includes an elongated line element having opposed ends with a pair of protruding members near each of these opposed ends. Each pair of protruding members has an outer most and and inner most member which are spaced apart a distance about equal to the predetermined thickness of the connector section. One end of the line element has a tab section that extends from an adjacent outer most protruding member nearby the one end of the line element which facilitates pulling the adjacent outer most protruding member through one hole in one cover. The other end of the line element has another tab section that extends from an adjacent outer most protruding member nearby this other end of the line element which facilitates pulling the adjacent outer most protruding member through this other hole in the other cover.

Abstract: A head cover for an iron golf club has an enlarged cover section which fits over the head of irons of different sizes. The cover section includes an internal cavity having a rough texture surface with an enlarged open mouth through which the head passes upon placing the cover section over the head and a protector section which covers, at least partially, the hosel member of the shaft when the head is received within the cavity. A clip near the open mouth has legs which extend through openings formed in the cover and expand with the shaft of the iron golf club being pushed into the cavity and retracts to hold the shaft when the head is received within the cavity.

Abstract: Disclosed is a tag 10 adapted to be attached to a bag and the like. It includes a case 12 having a front face adapted to display identification and a recessed back section 18, and a plurality of tee holding elements 16 mounted to the back section. The tee holding elements 16 are each adapted to hold an individual golf tee 22 so that each tee is generally parallel to an adjacent tee. A clip 42 is connected to the case 12 for attaching the tag 10 to a golf bag and the like.

Abstract: Disclosed is a golf device 10 holding tees and a divot repair tool 18. The device 10 can be conveniently attached to the side 12 of a golf shoe 14. It includes a clip member 20 that attaches to the shoe 14 and carries the divot repair tool 18. The clip member 20 includes tee-holding elements 40 which hold conventional golf tees.

Abstract: Disclosed is an overshoe including a sole section, shoe section, and ankle cover section having a flap which folds inwardly towards the inside ankle of the user. The flap is detachably secured in position by a fastener which is covered by the flap upon being folded inwardly.

Abstract: Disclosed is a device used to practice putting including a putting station and a remote target station. The putting station comprises a mat on which two parallel rows of posts are provided which straddle parallel strips that serve as guides for the putting head. The number of posts in each row may be the same or different. If there is an unequal number of posts, an entry way and an exit way is provided through which the club head may be moved by the golfer when swinging at the ball. The target station includes a body member having two parallel ramps, separated by a vertical wall, which lead to a collector section. One ramp serves as an entry ramp and target. The other ramp serves as an exit ramp to allow the ball to move under the force of gravity from the collector section. The collector section includes a lip which acts as a stop to prevent the ball from rolling beyond the target station if it is moving at the desired speed, but will allow the ball to roll over it if it is moving at an excessive speed.

Abstract: A protective boot which can be removably attached to the legs of horses, that may be engaged in a variety of activities such as galloping, jumping and the like, in a position extending over the shank and contiguous fetlock joint areas, and which comprise a body portion formed of an outer layer of flexible synthetic plastic sheet material and an inner cushion layer of foamed synthetic plastic material having their confronting surfaces bonded together, the inner layer also being formed to provide a plurality of ribs separated by open-sided grooves extending longitudinally of the body and lengthwise of the horse's leg. Through-going perforations in the grooves and ridges permit evaporation of sweat. Attaching bands or straps are integrally formed with the outer layer of plastic sheet material for engagement by clamping devices, and in which these bands have strengthening fabric inserts and transverse laterally spaced apart ridges to prevent slippage in the clamping device.
