  • Deformable resealing closure for caulking cartridges
    Patent number: 6824026
    Abstract: A secondary closure adapted to be resealingly engaged over the elongated open dispensing spout extending from a caulking tube cartridge. The closure includes a spout receiving area which conforms to and seals against the extended continuous exterior surface of the spout maintaining an airtight seal to prevent the hardening of air curable material within. The resealing closure also provides for the imparting of exterior mechanical forces upon its base for rotation and removal or resealing being integral with the body of the closure. The closure interior dimensions are such that a progressive sealing action is achieved as the closure is distortably engaged longitudinally over the dispensing spout of a uniformed tapered exterior surface.

  • Golf swing training device
    Patent number: 6780118
    Abstract: An invention directed towards golf swing training devices to improve a golfer's swing by repetitive practice swing. The device emulates a golf club having an upper head grip portion and a simulated club head portion on the oppositely disposed end thereof. The training device shaft is of a solid monolithic construction that includes a trans-axially offset portion extending from adjacent the club head portion to a point approximately one-third the overall length of the device returning to a longitudinal axis of the shaft. The offset shaft portion imparts a forward weight mass displacement in combination with an axially oriented alignment between the club head and the shaft to naturally rotate the golfer's hands and release to simulate the correct swing mechanism for improved play.
