  • Patent number: 7648396
    Abstract: A shielding device for an electrical connector for joining a contact with an electrical line or cable includes a cylindrical shield member formed of brass arranged within the connector. The shield member contains an opening in a central region which defines cylindrical sleeves at each end of the member and a transitional portion joining the cylindrical sleeves. One of the sleeves receives the contact and the other of the sleeves receives an end of the electrical line. The shield member transitional portion defines a fold line about which the cylindrical sleeves are bent toward each other at a desired obtuse angle. Portions of the cylindrical sleeves overlap when the sleeves are bent toward each other to at least partially close the opening and shield the connection between the contact and the electrical line.

  • Patent number: 6860818
    Abstract: A golf club head with low peripheral and rearward weighting includes C-shaped and annular weights connected with at least one of the rear and bottom surfaces, respectively, of the head. The weighting within the peripheral weights is adjustable between the heel, rear, and toe portions of the head to customize the weight distribution of the head in accordance with a golfer's swing. The added weight and its orientation increases the moment of inertia of the head and reduces the rotation thereof.
