  • Patent number: 10220280
    Abstract: A user-friendly golf club head cover system adapted for full operation while never leaving its spot in the golf bag. It allows access to the club via a simple downward physical movement of the incorporated tube. The club head cover portion remains open until the golf club is reinserted into the system. The club head cover has a partially connected top panel that is closed via a simple upward physical movement of the incorporated tube. An internal spring panel or solid body structural top panel with residual biases may assist the opening and closing of the top panel. A series of rods maintain the golf club head cover in the golf bag. A magnetic closure keeps the club head cover portion closed. The opening and closing may be facilitated by manual manipulation of the top panel alone.

  • Patent number: 10023213
    Abstract: A disc golf transport system to allow the movement of disc golf paraphernalia about a course utilizing existing or specialized backpacks. The system uses a three wheeled manual pull cart that has a five point adjustable suspension system incorporating two adjustable, lockable upper arms with peg horns extending therefrom; two pivotable lower arms with length and angle adjustable means for attachment; and a central attachment member. All of the five attachment points allow an attached packpack to be drawn taut from five different points so as to secure, and position the bag in the cart for both easy content access and maximum transit stability.

  • Patent number: 8998740
    Abstract: A collapsible golf swing training tool employs a plurality of elliptical blades, attached to a weighted shaft, to capitalize on air resistance, to aid in developing the muscle memory and strength required for a smooth and consistent golf swing. Cylindrical weights can be added or removed to meets the user's needs and may be positioned such that their linear axis is parallel or perpendicular to the linear axis of the tool. For convenience the blades are collapsible for easy storage within a golfer's golf bag.

  • Patent number: 7722300
    Abstract: An internally geared chuck that can generate sufficient torque to ensure adequate jaw gripping or jaw releasing force regardless of whether it is used in a keyless or key enabled chuck version. The key enabled version encompasses an internally housed, spring retracted chuck key that may be enabled to add additional torque to tighten or loosen the jaws when so required. The key enabled version may be operated with simple hand tightening in a keyless mode. The second embodiment has two levels of keyless operation. By drawing together elements of the chuck, a mechanical gearing advantage may be realized to add additional torque. In both embodiments all of the various sized and configured gears are housed within the chuck body.

  • Publication number: 20030178795
    Abstract: A chuck that can be operated with or without a key, depending upon the amount of torque desired. The jaws are controlled by rotation of a screw ring about the axis of the chuck body that slides the jaws along jaw passages by engagement with teeth on the jaw surfaces. The screw ring is housed in a tightening knob that has a planar ring gear perpendicular to the chuck body axis. A tail section is rigidly attached to the chuck body below the tightening knob and houses a pinion gear that matingly engages the planar ring gear and rotates in concert with the tightening knob. Insertion of a hex key into a recess in the pinion gear allows the application of additional torque. Alternate embodiments incorporate a idler gear to reverse pinion gear rotation; locate the pinion gear in the tightening knob with the planar ring gear in the tail section; and utilize a planar ring gear on both the tail section and the tightening knob with a floating ring to house the pinion gear between the planar ring gears.
