  • Patent number: 9865235
    Abstract: A musical instrument including a vibrating member, such as a string, and a clamping mechanism. The clamping mechanism can include a first clamping member and a second clamping member. The first clamping member and the second clamping member can move between a first, undamped position to a second, clamped position. The clamping mechanism divides the vibrating member into a first portion and a second portion when the clamping mechanism is in the second, clamped position.

  • Patent number: 4592730
    Abstract: Training apparatus for sporting equipment such as rifles in which at least one transducer which is pressure or weight sensitive is attached to the equipment at a position or positions where the pressure of body weight or contact is critical. The apparatus includes a display having an indicator or indicators connected to the transducer so as to give an indication of the body pressure or weight at the transducer. In one form of the invention, the indicators comprise a series of colored lights associated with each transducer so as to visually indicate insufficient, correct or excessive pressure or weight at the transducer.
