  • Patent number: 8827830
    Abstract: A golf club head designed for an open face approach is provided. Several factors encountered when hitting a ball from an open face position are addressed by the disclosed club head. As a result, precision, spin rate, loft, and stopping power are significantly improved from an open face strike. The club head includes a club face having a plurality of parallel, non-intersecting grooves extending across the club face and offset at an angle to optimize backspin and minimize sidespin when a ball is struck in the toe region. The club head also provides a sole and/or trailing edge designed to accommodate an open face position and to avoid “thinned” shots.

  • Patent number: 7523993
    Abstract: A dorsal support for supporting a passenger in a generally upright standing position while travelling in a public transportation vehicle is disclosed. The dorsal support comprises a body having a front surface extending uninterrupted upwardly from a base portion fastened to a floor surface, the front surface of the body including a planar lower portion preventing access behind the dorsal support from in front thereof and an upper portion which is integral with the lower portion and extends upwardly therefrom. The upper portion is rearwardly inclined and defines a passenger receiving area thereon for supporting at least a portion of the passenger's back such as to support the passenger in a generally upright standing position when leaning against the dorsal support.
