Publication number: 20240075358Abstract: A golf club head, preferably a putter head, comprising at least one structural support member is disclosed herein. The structural support member has a smooth, organic-looking aesthetic, with a continuously changing curvature along its spline and at least one surface, and preferably connects one portion of the golf club head to another portion. Where the support member connects to other portions of the golf club head, the surfaces of the member have a curvature that changes smoothly and continuously, lacking any sharp corners. The support member may be part of a lattice structure formed via binder jetting.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 7, 2023Publication date: March 7, 2024Applicant: Topgolf Callaway Brands Corp.Inventors: Eric Stubben, William C.

Patent number: 8341820Abstract: A sleeved composite pipe or piling structure formed of an elongated polyethylene pipe or tube of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or another polyethylene material installed over a substantially rigid and incompressible hollow metal pipe or solid wood core having an outer diameter that is the same or slightly larger than a normal inside diameter of the polyethylene pipe or tube when measured in a relaxed state at ambient temperature. The polyethylene pipe or tube is, for example, a HDPE 3408 material formed of virgin PE 3408 resin as specified in ASTM D3350 with UV protection, and the pipe is produced to ASTM A-3408. The metal pipe core can be ferrous or nonferrous pipe.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2010Date of Patent: January 1, 2013Inventor: William R. Watson

Patent number: 6117311Abstract: A fuel filter for a fuel dispensing pump comprises a shell having a closed end and an open end. A plate is fixed in the open end of the shell. The plate has one or more fuel inlet openings and a centrally located fuel outlet opening. A rigid annular pervious core in located within the shell. A water absorbing media is disposed about the core. A first end cap closes the inner end of the core and the water absorbing media. A second end cap closes the outer end of the core and water absorbing media. The second end cap has a central opening there through. A valve cylinder cup is secured to the second end cap and extends within the central opening in the core. The valve cylinder cup has at least one opening in the side wall thereof. A valve piston is slidably disposed and guided in the valve cylinder cup and movable to open and close the openings in the sidewall of the valve cylinder cup.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 1999Date of Patent: September 12, 2000Assignee: Champion Laboratores, Inc.Inventors: John W. Stockhowe, William R. Watson, W. Scott Atteberry

Patent number: 4409777Abstract: An elongated, resilient member such as a coiled spring or a belt of elastic material is disposed in lapping engagement with first and second drive rollers for engaging and threading a web around the rollers in response to rotation of the rollers. The drive rollers are rotated in opposite directions and the belt or spring is disposed in a twist, thereby defining a figure "8" lapping pattern. In a preferred embodiment, each roller is circumscribed by a groove in which the spring or belt is reeved.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 1981Date of Patent: October 18, 1983Assignee: Infra Pak (Dallas), Inc.Inventors: Kenneth D. White, William R. Watson, Jr.

Patent number: 4142590Abstract: A lubricating system for plow blades has a plurality of tube outlets positioned near a bottom portion of a plow blade and aligned to expel a dilute polymer lubricating fluid upward and onto a surface of the plow blade. As the plow blade scrapes up ground material, the scrapings distribute the lubricating fluid over the surface of the plow blade. Each of the tube outlets is supplied with lubricating fluid from a storage container via a pump connected to a positive displacement distribution block. In a farm plow system having eight separate plowshares, four positive displacement distribution blocks and one master distribution block are employed to supply lubricating fluid to twenty tube outlets.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 1977Date of Patent: March 6, 1979Assignee: Nalco Chemical CompanyInventor: William R. Watson

Patent number: 4068725Abstract: A lubricating system for plow blades has a plurality of tube outlets positioned near a bottom portion of a plow blade and aligned to expel a dilute polymer lubricating fluid upward and onto a surface of the plow blade. As the plow blade scrapes up ground material, the scrapings distribute the lubricating fluid over the surface of the plow blade. Each of the tube outlets is supplied with lubricating fluid from a storage container via individual pumps.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 1976Date of Patent: January 17, 1978Assignee: Nalco Chemical CompanyInventor: William R.

Patent number: 3934646Abstract: Method and apparatus for determining the corrosion or acid deposition rate in the cold end of a boiler system, including a probe loop having an organic solvent circulating through the loop with a predetermined boiling temperature wherein the loop includes a removable specimen that can be tested for acid deposition or corrosion rate. Recirculation of the organic solvent maintains the surface temperature of the specimen within close limits approximating the maximum corrosion temperature.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 1974Date of Patent: January 27, 1976Assignee: Nalco Chemical CompanyInventors: Reed S. Robertson, William R. Watson
