  • Publication number: 20160101339
    Abstract: The Wing Clip is worn on the inner arm and has three straps to secure the training tool to the upper forearm, elbow bend, and lower bicep. The Wing Clip is designed to wear during practice sessions, however could be worn during a round of golf. The goal is to keep a golfer's lead arm straight, throughout the golf swing, enhancing consistent ball striking ability. The Wing Clip fits on the inner arm and the 3 straps make the tool easy to place on the arm as well as take off the arm.

  • Publication number: 20070193144
    Abstract: A modular building system wherein extruded, elongate, plastic building components can quickly, and with no special tools or skills, be snapped and slidably fit together to form a wide variety of different building structures. The proposed system produces frameless buildings wherein surface closure structures, like walls, windows, doors and roof panels are bound into stability through building-wrapping banding structures that include upright, perimeter stabilizer bars, roof trusses, and in most instances, the underlying ground. Within a finished building, the closure structures effectively float and react with relative motion responses to different applied building loads.

  • Publication number: 20070124935
    Abstract: A method for installing a bearing into a component using an insert includes aligning the insert with an opening within the component that has a dimension that is less than a complimentary dimension of the insert, aligning the bearing with the insert, inserting the insert at least partially into the opening such that at least a portion of a surface defining the opening is deformed by the insert, and inserting the bearing into the opening after the insert such that the bearing is positioned at least partially with the opening and is at least partially retained within the opening by a portion of the surface defining the opening.

  • Publication number: 20060096232
    Abstract: A multi-dispositional, modular, building-structure component including (a) an elongate body having a long axis, and a substantially constant and consistent trans-axial cross-sectional configuration distributed along the body's long axis, with the body possessing at least one planar facial expanse having (1) opposite sides, and (2) spaced, opposite, lateral edges, (b) at least one generally rectangular, elongate, box-like channel extending along the component's long axis adjacent and joined to one of the body's expanse's opposite sides, and (c) a pair of elongate, laterally spaced, interconnect-accommodating flanges joined to and extending along the body's expanse's opposite lateral edges, occupying spaced, generally parallel planes which are disposed generally normal to the plane of the facial expanse.

  • Patent number: 5163257
    Abstract: A system for the assembly of wall or roof panel structures which may include light-transmitting plastic panel portions. The assembly comprises two solid material splines attached to opposite faces of a panel along its margin. The resulting combination of panel and splines forms a capital I shape in cross-section, and is held in place as a sandwich system, between support members having flanges extending toward, and almost touching the panel. A preferred panel may have two thin sheets including parallel major surfaces, the sheets being interconnected and spaced apart by a plurality of web-like ribs. The support members retain the panels and provide space for attachment to other portions of a building's structural frame, or to a cable structural system.
