Abstract: A new golf swing training device has a club with an elongated shaft with a hand grip at one end and a club head at the other end. A hinge is interposed between the first and second ends to allow the club head to break both rearwardly and forwardly. A spring biased projection cooperates with a recess so that different forces are required to break the club head in one direction, i.e., rearwardly, relative to a second force required to break the club in a second direction, i.e., forwardly. The tension of the hinge may also be adjusted. Access to the adjusting member is accessible from a location adjacent and non-aligned with the longitudinal axis of the club. In one embodiment, the hinge may be defined by a male/female assembly. In another embodiment, the hinge is defined by substantially identical side-by-side members.
Abstract: Piercing, heat sink, and reflector modules are detachably connected together to provide a lighting fixture adaptable to low voltage, line voltage, halogen, fluorescent, incandescent, and other lighting systems. In heat sensitive applications, such as insulated ceilings, a heat conductive basket sleeve is disposed around the heat sink and reflector modules, and the sleeve, heat sink module and reflector module are enclosed within a heat-sealing cover. Heat from the sleeve is conducted to a trim ring externally disposed on the lighting fixture. The lighting fixture permits direct connection to a continuous insulated cable without the requirement of a junction box connection, thereby facilitating installation of the fixture in either new or existing construction.
Abstract: A game apparatus includes a housing enclosing a cavity in which is mounted support member, such as a golf tee, and an object, such as a golf ball. The diameter of the golf ball is greater than the maximum distance between the golf tee and a sidewall of the housing. Moreover, selected walls or portions of the housing may be formed of transparent material to limit a game player view of the cavity.
