Abstract: A golf club protector for protecting the shaft of a golf club including a golf club housing tube having a protective interior and a protective collar provided at the upper end of the tube. Alternatively, an optional protective sleeve insertable within the tube having a protective collar attached thereto may be removably provided as a unit for a conventional tube. Where the housing tube includes a fixed collar and protective interior, the length of the tube may be predetermined in accordance with the length of a particular club shaft, or the tube may be provided with spaced apart cut markings at its lower end to facilitate shortening of the tube by the consumer.

Abstract: An ultrasonic drain trap cleaning apparatus for use in a plumbing system. A drain trap is fitted with transducers which receive electrical signals from a signal generator to create vibrations within the trap thereby clearing clogging material. A flow sensor is optionally provided to check fluid flow. If fluid flow is inadequate, the sensor signals the generator to generate signals to the transducers, causing vibrations thereby. A central programmable generator may be provided to generate electrical signals to more than one trap having transducers, or a programmable generator may be provided at each trap.
