  • Patent number: 12145037
    Abstract: A golf hole lighting device includes a shell suitable for being used in a golf hole and a luminous body arranged in the shell. The luminous body emits light in a direction towards a top of the shell. An optical lens having a protruding top surface and configured to condense light is arranged at a position, corresponding to the luminous body, on a top surface of the shell. When the luminous body emits light, the optical lens is configured to achieve effects of focusing light, improving the light intensity, and controlling a shape of a beam, so that the light emitted by the luminous body is more concentrated, the uniformity and quality of the light are improved, and dazzling is reduced. The light from the golf hole is better focused and softer, so that a user can effectively determine a position of the golf hole.

  • Patent number: 12121783
    Abstract: A co-forged iron type golf club is disclosed. More specifically, the present invention discloses an iron type golf club head from a pre-form billet that already contains two or more materials before the actual forging process resulting in a multi-material golf club head that doesn't require any post manufacturing operations such as machining, welding, swaging, gluing, and the like. The resultant golf club head may be capable of achieving center of gravity locations previously unachievable without utilizing this co-forging technique. The resultant golf club head may be used to create a set of golf club heads with center of gravity locations that are more advantageous throughout a set of golf clubs.

  • Patent number: 12087174
    Abstract: One or more transparent or translucent sheets of cellophane are folded and cuts are made to create symmetric patterns and designs. The cellophane creates diffraction, refraction, interference, and reflection pattern of light that become strikingly visible when viewed under polarized light. The cellophane patterns and designs are placed on top of one another such that the holes in the overlapping sheets cause a variation in the path of light traveling through the layers of the cellophane, creating beautiful and varied optical patterns of light that change with the placement of the layers of cellophane and with variation of the angle of polarized light for a kaleidoscope effect. The cellophane is viewed against the backdrop of a blue sky to provide a source of polarized light. Placing the cellophane on glossy black cardboard brings out the prismatic colors created by light refraction and reflection.
