Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to devices and a method for orthodontic torquing. For the various embodiments, a pliers for crimping coils of an orthodontic torquing spring to an arch wire includes: a pair of plier halves, each of the plier halves including a handle, a jaw, and a pivot section, each of the jaws including a crimping face defined by a distal edge having a length in a range of 200 percent to 400 percent of a diameter of the orthodontic spring, a first lateral edge, and a second lateral edge, the edges defined by a radius of curvature in a range of 0.1 millimeters to 0.5 millimeters, a textured surface on at least one of the crimping faces to frictionally engage the coil of the orthodontic spring, and a pivot joint connecting the pivot sections of the pair of plier halves such that the handles can be manipulated to cause the crimping faces of the jaws to move together to crimp a coil of the orthodontic torquing spring to the arch wire.

Abstract: A golf club includes a shaft, a hosel mounted on the lower end of the shaft and a golf club head mounted on the hosel for pivotal movement about an axis which is generally horizontal when the club is in an addressed position. The golf club head includes a blade portion pivotally mounted to a heel portion. A lever is operably connected to a linkage assembly so that the lever can be moved from a first position in which the linkage assembly secures the blade to the heel and a second position in which the linkage assembly allows disengagement of the blade from the heel so that the blade may be rotated relative to the heel.

Abstract: An improved dental apparatus for removing excess saliva during dental procedures and also for maintaining a patient's jaw comfortably in an open position. A dental bite block has occlusal resting portions joined by an arcuate anterior member. One occlusal resting portion has a main vacuum port extending angularly therefrom and communicating with a hollow channel having openings on opposing lateral surfaces of said occlusal resting portion. The main vacuum port operably receives the suction hose of a vacuum evacuation system. Lingual and buccal saliva ejector ports, each having circumferential grooved attachments and nozzle portions, are communicably connected to either opening on the occlusal resting portion. Saliva is communicated from the ejector ports into the main port, whereupon it is communicated into the vacuum system for dispensation.

Abstract: A golf club has a normal address position when the user addresses a ball, and includes a shaft, a hosel mounted on the lower end of the shaft and a golf club head mounted on the hosel for pivotal movement about an axis which is generally horizontal when the club is in the address position. An eccentric cam member is mounted on the hosel for rotation between first, second and third angular positions, and a recess is formed in the head and adjacent the cam member and a lever is operative to move the club head toward and away from the hosel wherein said cam member is movable into and out of the recess, the rotary portion of the cam member in the first and third positions causing said head to pivot into loft angles above and below a nominal loft angle when the cam member is in its second position between first, second and third loft angles as the adjustment sleeve is moved between its first, second and third positions.

Abstract: A fluid applicator includes a fluid applicator roller engaged with a fluid dispersing roller. The fluid dispersing roller includes a pair of helical fluid dispersing troughs which receive fluid from an electric motor driven pump which is operated by a low voltage electric switch control located on a handle of the fluid applicator.
