  • Publication number: 20230414406
    Abstract: Freeze frame insert is a cooling device that is intended to provide users with a cooling surface for eyewear frames. To accomplish this, the device includes insulating sleeves and gel packets. As the insulating sleeves and gel packets can be made of varying dimensions, this allows the device to be used with any size or shape of glasses or eyewear. As such, the user can choose any style of frame or design without needing to specifically consider accommodating an integrated chilling method ahead of time. Further, both the insulating sleeve and the cooling gel packet can be resized as necessary during manufacture to fit any frame, regardless of the size of the shape of the eyewear. The insulating sleeve may furthermore be made from a more flexible material, allowing one insulating sleeve to flex to fit a variety of frames.

  • Publication number: 20110250982
    Abstract: Swinky™ is a pendulum golf swing trainer. It weighs about six pounds, folds up like an umbrella, and can be unfolded and set up without tools in a moment. It comprises a long, stiff, ultra-light pendulum arm that hangs atop a mast, planted on a sure-footed tripod opposite the golfer's chin. The golfer's club makes up at least 98% of the weight of the pendulum bob. The other vital 2% of the bob's weight is provided by the device's low-inertia, visually graphic rectangular string bridge, one end of which is anchored on the neck of the club shaft and the other on the tip of the pendulum arm. The club swings accompanied by the bridge quite unaffected by its presence as long as the club's center of mass tracks parallel to and centered with the sweep of the pendulum arm. Exploiting rectangle feedback is simple. Preset the mast angle to match the lie angle of the club shaft and the top of the mast to the height of the golfer's own chin at address.

  • Patent number: 6783464
    Abstract: This Continuation invention provides a system of self-contained swing motion sensors borne and powered by the golfer's body that permit a golfer to track his swing movements by artificial markers which assist him to visualize and rapidly memorize given swing action models.

  • Patent number: 6015353
    Abstract: A ball-impact-error sensor/amplifier is bonded to the ball hitting point of a golf club face and includes an adhesive backed base in the form of a soft plastic disc, 1/2 inch diameter.times.3/16 inch thick, with a center hole that holds a flat-ended, rigid probe 1/8 inch diameter.times.1/4 inch long, seated upright on the club face so that for the forward swinging club to strike the ball solidly, the club face, probe and ball must compress together squarely at impact, failing which, the probe and wall of the probe base will spring-hinge aside under impact, thereby strongly amplifying impact errors into jarring and blatant mis-hits that must be curbed for ball striking mastery.

  • Patent number: 5984799
    Abstract: The invention is A Soft, Tiny, Golf club-shaft Attachable Audio and Feel-Feedback Golf Swing Tuner of 1/10 Oz Weight. The golfer swings his club with the Tuner's soft 7 to 71/2 inches long, ulta-thin, tensilised polymeric foil, untwisted and elevated lengthwise parallel to the target side of the shaft by twin, resilient plastic end-piers snap-fitted onto the club head end of the shaft, and the foil resonates keeping pace with club-face motion. Golfer both hears that motion around him as specific "Go"/"No Go" humming, buzzing and clubshaft quivering signals that repeat when his swing repeats.

  • Patent number: 5474299
    Abstract: The invention provides a golf swing trainer for use by a developing golfer. The trainer includes a rotor that rotates about a rotational axis. When using the trainer, the golfer connects himself or the golf club shaft to the rotor at a point near his hands. The golfer then takes practice swings while linked to the rotor. According to one aspect of the invention, the rotor is flexible so that deviations in the golfer's swing from the ideal path causes flexure of the rotor. This in turn causes noticeable flexure and vibration in the rotor, which clearly indicates the error to the golfer so that he may correct his motion on subsequent swings. According to another aspect of the invention, the rotational inertia of the rotor about the axis is less, and in preferred embodiments much less, than that of the swung club about the same axis. This ensures that the inertia of the rotor will not obscure the natural feel of the proper swing. Rapid development of the golfer's skill is improved with use of the trainer.
