Abstract: An assisted chin/dip exercise apparatus has a main frame and an assist or foot bar pivotally mounted on the frame and linked to a weight stack or resistance for assisting a user standing on the foot bar during performance of chin and dip exercises. The main frame has a first, overhead handle assembly and a second, dip handle assembly below the first handle assembly. The first handle assembly includes a pair of adjustably mounted handles freely pivotable between a first, chin-up position in which the handles extend towards one another at a rearward angle with a small spacing between the handles and a second, pull-up position in which the handles extend in a forward direction and are spaced apart by a larger spacing sufficient to provide head clearance for a user stepping onto the foot bar or while performing a dip exercise.

Abstract: A multiple component gasket includes at least one mounting body that is fused to at least one sealing body. The sealing body is softer than mounting body. The sealing body may be an EPDM with the mounting body being a polypropylene. The multiple component gasket is made by preheating the sealing body with an infrared heat lamp and then passing the sealing body over heated pressure roller. The mounting body portion is disposed against an opposing chill roller in a manner such that the two portions directly engage each other. Hot air is forced against the location where the two portions engage each other just before the two portions pass between the two rollers. The combination of the heat and the pressure fuses the sealing body to the mounting body. The resulting gasket fails at the tear strength of the sealing body.

Abstract: A Special Baseball Training Device called “BASEx®” provides methods to teach baseball fundamentals to various skill and age groups. The use of BASEx® assists coaches and players in developing some of the most basic fundamentals of hitting a baseball, such as balance, alignment, stride, swing plane, and keeping eyes on the ball. called BASEx® is comprised of a top piece beam unit with features, a bottom piece beam unit with features, a means to connect the units, batting tees, a means to connect the tees to the bottom unit surface, and other features such as balls and stride pads.
