  • Publication number: 20240082656
    Abstract: Golf clubs and golf club heads having a weight member that is configurable in multiple positions to alter the performance characteristics of the golf club head are presented. In some examples, the weight member may be arranged in a sole of the golf club head and may include ends having different weighting characteristics. For instance, one end may be heavier or denser than another end of the weight member. The difference in weight characteristics may be due to different materials used to form the different ends, different construction of the ends, and the like. The position of the weight member may be adjusted to alter the performance characteristics of the golf club head. For instance, the weight member may be removed and rotated to position a heavier end where a lighter end was previously positioned.

  • Patent number: 8051596
    Abstract: A hands-free firearm stabilizer device comprising a means for securing a firearm to perpendicularly to the shoulder of a hunter. The fully adjustable device can be adjusted to accommodate any gunstock and hunter, allowing the hunter to wait for game in a relaxed hands-free position or utilize game calls without sacrificing firearm stability. Additionally, hunters can position themselves in a seated position allowing fine aiming adjustments using his/her knee preventing unwanted noise and movement that could be detected by the game and providing a viable option for hunters with disabilities that may limit their ability participate in the sport of hunting.

  • Patent number: 7506995
    Abstract: The present invention provides a lighting system for use within a display sign, wherein the lighting system comprises a first module having a multi-layer circuit board and an arrangement of components electrically connected to the circuit board. The component arrangement includes a driver control chip that provides regulated voltage to the light emitting diodes, at least one surface mounted resistor, and a pair of light emitting diodes wherein each diode is mounted to a longitudinal end portion of the circuit board. Thus, the driver control chip is positioned between the light emitting diodes. The component arrangement further includes a high-frequency capacitor that filters undesired electrical noise and a rectifying diode that converts electrical potential from alternating current to direct current. A second module is electrically connected to the first module by a pair of flexible conductor wires.

  • Patent number: 7165863
    Abstract: A module has a metallic mass with an upper surface having laterally spaced wiring channels and outwardly extending fins. A circuit board is mounted on the module and fabricated of an insulating bottom layer with trace patterns thereon. A plurality of electrical components, including at least one light emitting diode, are coupled to the trace patterns of the circuit board. A pair of continuous conductor wires couple the electrical components with each wire and extend through the wiring channels of the module. At least one pair of connectors extend through the circuit board with upper ends coupled with the trace patterns and lower ends extending downwardly to electrically couple with the wires.
