Abstract: A carrying device for carrying articles on hangers or bags with handles. The carrying device includes a top attaching element which is releasably attached to a hook, such as an automobile clothes hook on an interior wall of an automobile, a bottom support element which supports articles, such as a clothes hanger, and a pair of oppositely extending carrying portions which are disposed between the top attaching and bottom support elements and are grasped between two fingers of a person's hand for carrying the device. The bottom support element is disposed along a plane generally transverse to the plane of the top attaching element so that when a hanger is hung on the device and the device is attached to the hook, it lies along a plane generally parallel to the plane of the interior wall of the automobile. The top attaching element, carrying portions and bottom support element are integrally formed as one unit and rigid with respect to one another for easily attaching the device to the automobile clothes hook.

Abstract: An exercise apparatus comprises a base member, a pair of resiliently flexible exercise elements attached to the base member and a mounting assembly for mounting the apparatus on a supporting structure, such as an exercise cycle. The apparatus is operable by an operator by resiliently bending the exercise elements with the hands and arms to obtain exercise in the upper portions of the body and when it is mounted on an exercise cycle it is operable simultaneously therewith to provide enhanced cardiovascular exercise.

Abstract: A combination sports helmet and face mask construction is disclosed in which a mask of grid-like configuration having a peripheral base portion is attached to the helmet in a novel manner. In one embodiment of the invention, the attachment means includes a plurality of spaced blocks each including a forwardly directed undercut opening for receipt of the base portion of the mask. In another embodiment, the attachment means includes an element secured to the mask about the periphery of the frontal opening thereof such that the base portions of the mask may be disposed proximal thereto. In such latter embodiment, the attachment of the mask to the helmet is by means of a plurality of headed members received within recessed pockets. The pockets may be formed either in the base portion of the mask or in the peripheral element of the helmet. In all cases, the mask is received by the helmet in a snap frictional engagement such that the mask may be completely removed therefrom, i.e.

Abstract: A brace adapted for wear by a tennis player for minimizing and/or preventing tennis elbow comprising in its most basic form a pair of discs adapted for respective generally nonslip compressive contact with that portion of the player's arm directly overlying the medial and lateral eipcondyles thereof. The discs are generally of cup-shaped internal configuration having a somewhat compressible surface for engaging the player's skin. Bracket means enable the mounting of such discs in spaced opposition from each other and permit their independent rotation so as to follow the movements of the player's arm.

Abstract: A golf putter practice device comprising a movable indicator and a plurality of separate depressions or channels with one of said depressions or channels defining a path normal to the face of the putter and with the other depressions or channels defining angular paths with respect to the putter face so that, upon impact with a golf ball, the momentum imparted to the indicator will cause it to move forwardly into one or more of the depressions or channels dependent upon the orientation of the putter in relation to the ball upon impact therewith. This enables corrections to be made to the putting stroke if the indicator shows that during the previous putt, the club face was not properly positioned with respect to the ball upon impact. The movable indicator may take the form of a steel ball which is retained in its initial position by a magnet. To avoid a distraction to the golfer, a pivotable plate or cover may be provided to obscure the indicator elements from view during the putting stroke.

Abstract: The head of a golf putter includes a reservoir for receipt of a fluid indicator and a plurality of separate divergent channels in communication therewith with one of said channels disposed normal to the ball striking face of the putter head so that, upon impact with a golf ball, the momentum imparted to the indicator fluid will cause it to flow forwardly into one or more of the channels dependent upon the orientation of the putter in relation to the ball upon impact therewith. The channels are further constructed so that the liquid indicator entering such channels is maintained therein so that a positive after-the-fact indication of the orientation of the putter face in regard to the ball upon impact is obtained. This enables corrections to be made to the putting stroke if the liquid indicator shows that during the previous putt, the club face was not properly positioned with respect to the ball upon impact.
