  • Publication number: 20250031773
    Abstract: An article of apparel comprising a garment with a lightweight and breathable construction. The garment may comprise an outer layer configured as a main fabric for the garment, an internal construction comprising a plurality of inner layers, and one or more pockets. The plurality of inner layers comprises a non-compressive modesty panel that covers or conceals a shape or a profile of a select portion of the subject's body. The modesty panel extends continuously across a front facing portion of the garment from an inseam region of the garment to the left and right side seam regions of the garment. The modesty panel forms a first side of the one or more pockets, and another layer of the plurality of inner layers forms a second side of the one or more pockets. The first and second sides of the pockets are stitched together to form one or more pocket bags.

  • Patent number: 12208313
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for arranging dimples on a golf ball surface in which the dimples are arranged in a pattern derived from at least one irregular domain generated from a regular or non-regular polyhedron. The method includes choosing control points of a polyhedron, generating an irregular domain based on those control points, packing the irregular domain with dimples, and tessellating the irregular domain to cover the surface of the golf ball. The control points include the center of a polyhedral face, a vertex of the polyhedron, a midpoint or other point on an edge of the polyhedron and others. The method ensures that the symmetry of the underlying polyhedron is preserved while minimizing or eliminating great circles due to parting lines.

  • Patent number: 12201879
    Abstract: A golf club head formed of an alloy of steel that is capable of improving the center of gravity (CG) location while maintaining traditional external dimensions of the golf club head. More specifically, the golf club head in accordance with the present invention achieves a relatively low CG while maintaining traditional external dimensions by reducing the amount of mass contributed by the crown, the striking face, and the hosel, and strategically reallocating this mass within and/or proximate the sole of the golf club head.

  • Publication number: 20250018262
    Abstract: An improved leg-deployment system for a golf bag that helps prevent leg droop when the legs are in the retracted state. In an aspect, the technology relates to a golf bag that includes a bag body; a base coupled to the bag body; a top cuff coupled to the bag body; and a leg-deployment system coupled to the top cuff. The leg-deployment system may include a leg receptacle protruding away from an exterior surface of the top cuff; a spring insert inserted into the receptacle, the spring insert including a cantilevered spring segment having a fixed end and a free end; and a leg assembly including a cam nose, wherein the cam nose contacts the cantilevered spring segment when the leg assembly is in a retracted state, and the cantilevered spring segment applies a force to the cam nose to maintain the leg assembly in the retracted state.
