Abstract: A device to aid golfers in perfecting their golf swing during putting, chipping, driving and other usual golf situations. It provides a swing track comprising a pair of parallel spaced rails, rotatably mounted to a bracket, so as to be offset from the base surface. This track defines the preferred swing trajectory in the vicinity of ball contact. Faulty swings outside of such trajectory will touch one of the rails, imparting motion to the track. This rotation of the track both indicates the faulty swing and suggests the correction needed.

Abstract: The use of edible cyclotriphosphates and cyclotetraphosphates as phosphorous supplements in diets effectively inhibit the development of caries. The compounds may be incorporated in candies, for example, caramels, they may also be imbedded in fat particles, which in turn are distributed throughout a food composition such as a cereal.

Abstract: A pencil caddy comprising an elongated hollow body hinged at its opposite longitudinal sides so as to be flattenable and having re-entrant open ends and flexible end members hinged at their opposite ends to the open ends of the body yieldably biased into said recessed open ends to hold the body distended, said end members being adapted to be withdrawn from said open ends to permit the body to be flattened and one or more openings in the upper side of the body for receiving and supporting in upright positions pencils, pens and the like.

Abstract: Apparatus for applying to the neck of a bagged package a closure comprising stiff resilient sheet plastics material having therein a bag-neck retaining aperture communicating with an edge of the closure by means of a narrow slit, which apparatus comprises means for gathering and holding the neck of the bagged package, means for locating the closure with the slit aligned with the gathered neck, and means for effecting relative movement between the gathered neck and the closure such as to force the gathered neck through the slit and into the aperture. The holding means is a stop member which prevents advance of the bag neck until a sensor detects passage of the trailing end of the bag neck, whereupon the stop member is released and a claw advances the gathered bag neck into the closure.

Abstract: Interconnected fibres banded by cross-sectional orientation and morphology differences, in an array which can be bundled up to separate the fibres at least partially. A thermoplastic sheet emboding areas of different degrees of fibrillation is cold drawn to initiate longitudinally extending cracks in the areas of lower resistance to fibrillation such that the cracks terminate at the areas of higher resistance to fibrillation. The sheet is then further drawn at a higher temperature to open the cracks and to cause the cracks to propagate through the areas of higher resistance to fibrillation. Both drawing steps are performed without lateral extension.
