Abstract: An aerodynamically symmetrical golf ball is provided including a patterned outer surface having 492 dimples arranged in twenty triangles based upon an inscribed modified icosahedron lattice on the surface of the ball. As a result of the modification of the lattice, a predetermined spacing exists between two in-line rows of dimples on opposite sides of an equatorial line about said ball, the spacing being created by the modification of th icosahedron on the surface of the ball.

Abstract: An improved rocker for an infant seat comprising in combination a base having upstanding lateral side walls defining an opening therebetween; an intermediate platform positioned within the opening and having an upper region adapted to receive an infant seat thereon; a pair of generally U-shaped links each having upper portions supported by the side walls, each having a lower horizontal portion adapted to receive a lower region of the platform thereon, and each having intermediate vertical portions coupling the upper and lower portions; drive means coupling the platform and the base for inducing a rocking motion to the platform; adjustment means to longitudinally vary the center of oscillation of the rocking platform; and locking means to lock the platform with respect to the base.

Abstract: An improved breast pump comprised of a manifold having a cavity and plurality of openings. A horn is positioned in one of the openings for coupling the mother's breast with the cavity. A first fixed cylinder is formed integrally with a second opening of the manifold with a second cylinder slidingly received over the first cylinder for effecting a pumping action therebetween to create a reduced pressure within the horn, cavity and cylinders. A third opening is for the coupling of a baby bottle therewith. A ball valve is located within the third opening whereby when the second cylinder is reciprocated with respect to the first cylinder and a vacuum created in the horn, cavity and cylinders, the ball valve will seal the third opening and the bottle from the cavity and suck milk from a mother's breast located in association with the horn.

Abstract: The subject invention relates to golf ball technology, and more particularly, golf ball cover technology. The invention is concerned with a particular mixture of ionic resins as a golf ball cover composition.Ionomers have been widely used as golf ball cover materials for the past 15 years. While these ionomers are very durable, they have a deficiency as a golf ball cover material in that they tend to be hard. This invention is concerned with a mixture of a hard ionomer with a soft ionomer in order to produce a golf ball cover composition wherein the cover is softer than the prior art ionomer covers.A golf ball covered in accordance with this invention is durable and a skilled golfer can impart back spin to the ball in play.

Abstract: A dimpled configuration for a golf ball wherein, in the first embodiment, the dimples are arranged in a geometrical lattice configuration so as to form a perfect icosahedral pattern which inlcudes twenty indentical triangles with a predetermined number of dimples lying along the lines forming the lattice. These dimples are a first diameter, while the dimples within the lattices are of a second diameter greater than the first diameter. In the second embodiment, the five adjacent triangles having common polar vertices are retained on either side of the equatorial line of the ball. Five smaller triangles on either side of the equator include vertices common with each adjacent set of the five triangles, with the legs opposite such vertices being substantially parallel with but terminating short of the equatorial line of the ball. The legs parallel with the equator extend about the ball so as to form five trapezoids which have common sides with the alternate with the five small triangles.

Abstract: Golf balls exhibiting a satisfactory coefficient of restitution while having higher Riehle compression and hence a softer feel are provided by the inclusion of a metallic dithiocarbamate in the core formulation.

Abstract: Golf balls exhibiting an improved coefficient of restitution are obtained by the inclusion of dialkyl tin difatty acids in the core formulation.

Abstract: A softball having a core and a cover wherein the ball has a circumference of approximately 12 inches, a weight of 175 to 178 grams, a coefficient of restitution of approximately 0.478 and a compression from about 0.010 to 0.014 inches, wherein said core has a density from about 15.5 to 16.5 pounds per cubic foot, and a hardness from about 72 to 78 on the shore A scale, said core being formed from a cellular polymeric material. The core is surrounded by a cover having a specific gravity of about 1.2, a thickness from about 0.035 inches to 0.060 inches and a hardness from about 78 to 90 on the Shore A scale. The cover is formed from a vinyl resin, a phthalate compound, stabilizers and a titanium dioxide dispersion.

Abstract: Golf balls exhibiting superior durability and improved coefficient of restitution is provided by the inclusion of a dispersing agent in the core formulation.

Abstract: An improved child safety seat coupleable to the seat of a car through a three-point safety belt with restraining means to hold a chil therein. The safety seat has a U-shaped tube with an upper horizontal leg and spaced downwardly extending vertical legs. The tube is secured to the rear face of the back of the safety seat in spaced relationship therewith whereby the a three-point safety belt may be located with its horizontal lap belt in contact with the vertical legs beneath the midpoint of the safety seat and with its transverse shoulder belt in contact with the horizontal leg above the midpoint of the safety seat. This relationship of components will securely hold the child safety seat with respect to the car seat in which it is utilized.

Abstract: A molded solid softball of a unitary substantially spherical body having simulated stitching including protrusions and indentations on the outer surface integral with the body of the ball and further having simulated holes adjacent the outer edges of the stitching. The stitch holes extend into the body a distance sufficient to simulate the depth of the stitching holes or a standard stitched leather-covered ball. The depth of the stitch holes is between 0.040 and 0.070 inches.

Abstract: A method of constructing a mold for making game balls which comprises inserting pins of a predetermined length in the stitch holes of a stitched leather ball, depositing metallic mold material on the surface of the ball so as to cover the pins, dividing the metal/master assembly into mating halves, each half being symmetrical with respect to the stitching on the ball, and removing the master including the pins from the ball.

Abstract: An infant swing having a base, upwardly extending legs, and a coil spring-wound motor mounted on said legs, with the axis of said coil spring motor extending at a predetermined angle from the vertical above said base. A carriage is mounted to the motor such that it is driven by and oscillates about the axis of the spring. A swing support rod has one leg removably mounted to said carriage parallel to the axis of the spring, with the other leg extending substantially vertically downward and terminating in a substantially horizontal radle for supporting an infant seat beneath the carriage, whereby the oscillatory motion of the carriage causes the seat to swing in a substantially horizontal arcuate path. The infant seat is removably mounted to said cradle.
