  • Patent number: 7628315
    Abstract: This invention counts golf strokes per hole. It is worn on a golfer's wrist, on a lanyard, placed in a pocket, or clipped on one's clothing. It allows a full range of non-restrictive movement and is indexed between twelve positions patterned after the hours of a clock. The starting position is at 12 o'clock, first shot is 1 o'clock, second shot is 2 o'clock, etc. This enables the user to simply click to the subsequent position without the need to read the display. The pointer is mounted to a base and rotates, having 12 equally spaced positions. Each position is secured in place by means of a ball or radius shaft that is spring-loaded into one of the 12 equally spaced indentations in the base. The ball requires little or no friction during indexing but provides sufficient holding pressure, ensuring that the indicator is held firmly into position.

    Abstract: This invention is a mechanical device that counts golf strokes per hole. It is designed to be worn on a golfer's wrist, on a lanyard, placed in a pocket, or clipped on one's clothing. The device allows a full range of non-restrictive movement. The counter is indexed between twelve positions, patterned after the hours of an analog clock, thus the score is easily read. The starting position is at 12 o'clock, first shot is 1 o'clock, second shot is 2 o'clock, etc. This design enables the user to simply click to the subsequent position without the need to read the display. The pointer is mounted to a base and rotates, having 12 equally spaced positions. Each position is secured in place by means of a ball or radius shaft that is spring-loaded into one of the 12 equally spaced indentations in the base. The ball requires little or no friction during indexing but provides sufficient holding pressure, ensuring that the indicator is held firmly into position.

  • Patent number: 6478278
    Abstract: An adjustable, telescoping seat support that allows the height of a bicycle seat to be adjusted to a number of seat height positions safely while bicycle is in motion. An elongated tubular seat post is clamped to a bicycle frame in a stationary position. A bicycle seat is attached to an end of a seat holder that is slidably positioned internal to the stationary tubular seat post. A coil spring provides an extending force on the tubular seat post and the tubular seat holder such that the seat support is capable of extending to a raised seat position and compressing to a lowered seat position. The seat is locked into raised and lowered seat positions by a plunger locking portion that is attached to the elongated tubular seat post and which remains at a fixed position relative to the seat for all seat height positions.

  • Publication number: 20020139905
    Abstract: An adjustable, telescoping seat support with suspension that allows the height of a bicycle seat to be adjusted to a number of seat height positions safely while bicycle is in motion. An elongated tubular seat post is clamped to a bicycle frame in a stationary position. A bicycle seat is attached to an end of a tubular seat holder that is slidably posited over the stationary tubular seat post. The tubular seat holder has a coil spring on it that would provide suspension. A coil spring placed inside the tubular seat holder provides an extending force on the tubular seat post and the tubular seat holder such that the seat support is capable of extending to a raised seat position and compressing to a lowered seat position. The seat is locked into raised and lowered seat positions by a plunger locking portion that is attached to the elongated tubular seat holder and which remains at a fixed position relative to the seal for all seat height positions.
