Patent number: 10150023Abstract: A sport skill training apparatus includes an arm loop unit, a waist loop adjustment strap, and an elastic training arrangement. The waist loop adjustment strap includes a main strap element arranged to bend for forming a waist loop to accommodate a waist portion of the user, and a coupling unit connected to the main strap element to selectively and adjustably lock up a size of the waist loop. The elastic training arrangement is extended between the waist loop adjustment strap and the arm loop unit. The elastic training arrangement has a predetermined elasticity and at least one training indicator, wherein when the user's arm moves with respect to his waist portion, the elastic training arrangement is stretched and the training indicator is arranged to indicate the extent to which the elastic training arrangement is stretched so that a user may avoid further movement of the arm portion.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2018Date of Patent: December 11, 2018Inventor: James Cheng Wah Loh

Patent number: 8052540Abstract: A putting trainer has a long strip mounted to the head along a length of the putter head. The long strip has a pair of ends, namely a close end toward the player and a far end away from a player. The putting trainer has a ball path having a pair of columns of sensors, namely a column of right sensors and a column of left sensors. The pair of columns of sensors detect the motion of the long strip over the pair of columns of sensors. An audio output from a speaker provides feedback to the player. A golf trainer also includes a golf putter having a handle, a shaft connected to the handle, a hosel connected to the shaft and a putter head connected to the hosel.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2010Date of Patent: November 8, 2011Inventor: James Cheng-Wah Loh

Patent number: 7878918Abstract: A portable swing trainer has a wedge body of a triangular shape, and a stick sensor having a vertical adjustment and a horizontal adjustment. The stick sensor has a deployed position and a collapsed position. The stick sensor is mounted behind the wedge body. A restoring mechanism can be for restoring the stick sensor from the collapsed position to the deployed position. The restoring mechanism is mounted behind the wedge body. The stick sensor is pivotally mounted to the restoring mechanism. A catch mechanism is for catching the stick sensor in collapsed position. The catch mechanism is mounted behind the wedge body. A pair of electronic beam sensors can be mounted in a pair of depressions formed on a face of the wedge body.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2010Date of Patent: February 1, 2011Inventor: Cheng Wah Loh

Patent number: 7814589Abstract: The terrace comforter is made by a shell with many tubes of the same width and length sitting side by side from one end of the shell extended to the other end. Each tube consists of several and the same number of baffled boxes separated by walls between them. There are one or two small holes on the baffled walls in each box so that the filling materials can be blown into the box with a metal tube inserted through the holes on those baffled walls into the box and stay there for a long period of time before moving into the next boxes. The height of boxes can be the same or different as long as the space in each box is large enough for the filling material to expand to its fullest volume.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2007Date of Patent: October 19, 2010Inventor: Cheng Wah Loh

Patent number: 7704154Abstract: A golf swing modeling device includes a base having a first row of sensors, a striking row of sensors, a second row of sensors and a third row of sensors. The various sensors output individual signals. The striking row of sensors comprises a striking row inside sensor and a striking row outside sensor. A ball striking assembly has a lower ball mounted on a lower ball arm which is mounted on a lower retainer and an upper ball mounted on an upper ball arm which is mounted on an upper retainer. The upper ball has a sensor which outputs a signal when struck. A striking face of the lower ball is placed between the striking row inside sensor and striking row outside sensor. A processor receives individual signals from the sensors. The processor calculates club speed, and club head orientation from individual signals, and the processor provides output.Type: GrantFiled: January 2, 2009Date of Patent: April 27, 2010Inventors: Cheng Wah Loh, Yini Wu

Patent number: 7704153Abstract: A golf swing assistance device has a base having a flat upper surface with a hitting spot, a shallow lower surface indented adjacent to a hitting spot of the upper surface. The hitting spot is located in the middle of a golf swing that a user takes. A rear position sensor is located behind the golf swing, and behind the hitting spot. A front position sensor is located after the swing and in front of the hitting spot. A ball holder has a ball holding plate, a ball holding arm and a ball holder connector. A block receives the ball holder connector. An adjusting mechanism allows vertical adjustment of the ball holder connector. A ball target has a ball end, a ball target arm and a ball target connector. Also, position sensors mounted on stands can monitor other sections of the golf swing.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2007Date of Patent: April 27, 2010Inventors: Cheng Wah Loh, Yini Wu
