Abstract: An improved design for the hosel and head of golf clubs, including putters, which is primarily characterized by a compound curved hosel that attaches to the club head of golf clubs behind the face, at or near the center of the club head, and slightly above the bottom rear edge of the club head.

Abstract: A filter locking/support system for releasably urging and maintaining a plurality of separate depending filter elements in a dust collector into and in sealing engagement with the partition between the "dirty" and "clean" sections of said dust collector, said system being preferably made up of: a plurality of parallel pairs of elongated linear filter trays adapted to support cylindrical filters by the mounting plate thereof; which trays are slidably mounted upon a plurality of sloping brackets (or ramps) attached below the partition between the "clean" and "dirty" section of the dust collector such that movement of said trays in a first direction slides said trays up said ramps so as to bring the filter mounting plates resting thereon into sealing engagement with the partition and movement in the opposite direction slides said trays down said ramps so that the filters depending therefrom are no longer in sealing engagement with said partition; an automatic biasing means being provided to urge said trays in th

Abstract: A turtle exclusion apparatus for inclusion in shrimp trawling nets which features a turtle exclusion grate having bowed vertical bars and an "overhang" at its base and may also feature, when in combination with a net section in which it is contained, an opening by which fish may escape from the trawling net.

Abstract: Dental facings or veneers preformed from precision metals; suitable for attachment to the labial enamel surface of human teeth; and utilizable for cosmetic purposes and/or as a base for further decorative enhancement by cut-out design, inlaid design or otherwise.

Abstract: A bowling game table featuring a lane surface having a bilaterally symmetrical central trough which, beginning at a point proximate the edge from which the ball is rolled toward the pins, gradually expands in width and increases in depth until it reaches a maximum depth, and continues expanding in width until it spans the entire width of the lane surface while maintaining said maximum depth.

Abstract: An apparatus for resheathing hypodermic needles having a hollow cylindrical sheathguard to encompass a needle sheath inserted therein; a means of retaining the needle sheath within the sheathguard; a horizontal protective barrier below the aperture of the sheathguard and parallel thereto; a means for supporting the barrel of a hypodermic syringe engaged in the device; a means of guiding the syringe with hypodermic needle during resheathing; and a vertical protective barrier adjacent to the aperture of said sheathguard and perpendicular thereto.

Abstract: Small easily removable insert designed for placement in the battery compartment of a battery powered device (becoming part of the circuit of the device when in place) which includes a current/voltage control means and may have sidewalls and dimensions which allow the replacement of a battery or batteries standard to the device by smaller sized batteries.

Abstract: A device adapted to assist in the alignment of a railroad car drawheads for coupling, said device having connecting means by which the handle thereof may be rigidly connected to, and serve as an extension of, the drawhead for the purpose of increasing leverage when rotating said drawhead on its pivot.

Abstract: An LED lamp having a generally hollow cylindrical encasement having at least one opening therein allowing gases and fluids exterior to said encasement to freely circulate within the interior thereof for cooling purposes and including also embodiments wherein said encasement is screwthreaded, and/or is divided into sections with differing diameters.
