Patent number: 7959520Abstract: A golf putter includes a pair of aiming arms at each end of the putter head having opposite and inward facing arcuate surfaces corresponding to the outline of a golf hole. The aiming arms may be removed manually or may be made to pivot. In the latter, each arm is pivotally connected at opposing ends of the putter head and adapted to pivot about an axis between a forward aiming position and a second position away from the forward aiming position. Control of the rotation of the aiming arms may be by a lever operable from the putter shaft, or by a spring actuated by pushing downward on the putter shaft.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2009Date of Patent: June 14, 2011Assignee: True Putt Enterprises, LLCInventors: Michael Campadore, Alan N. O'Kain

Patent number: 7771286Abstract: A golf putter comprising a shaft, a putter head attached along a top surface to the shaft, the head including an elongated body having a central axis along the length of the body. The golf putter includes a pair of aiming arms, each arm pivotally connected at opposing ends of the elongated body and adapted to pivot about the central axis between a forward aiming position and a second position away from the forward aiming position. The golf putter also includes a lever adapted to control rotation of the aiming arms from the forward aiming position to the second position, the lever operable from a portion of the shaft.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2008Date of Patent: August 10, 2010Assignee: True Putt Enterprises LLCInventors: Michael Campadore, Alan N. O'Kain

Patent number: 5789100Abstract: A battery strength tester used on a battery which has indicating means to indicate the strength of the battery and switching means which can easily be employed to complete a circuit so as to place the indicator means across the terminals of the battery and display the charge of the battery and wherein said switch, after a predetermined interval or temperature is reached, automatically opens to break the electrical contact across the battery terminals. A light emitting material employed as the indicator material is another special feature of the battery strength tester.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 1995Date of Patent: August 4, 1998Assignee: Stratetic Electronics, LLCInventors: James R. Burroughs, Alan N. O'Kain

Patent number: 4962347Abstract: A flashlight or a portable lantern having a built-in battery tester to determine the voltage or capacity of the battery, either under an electrical load or under no electrical load. The battery tester can comprise a voltmeter, ammeter, liquid-crystal cell, LED, color-indicating redox voltage-indicator cell, or a voltage battery-monitoring circuit that intermittently monitors the voltage of the batteries for brief pulses, compares the battery voltage with the standard reference voltage, and initiates a signal system if the battery voltage falls below the standard reference voltage.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 1988Date of Patent: October 9, 1990Assignee: Strategic Energy, Ltd.Inventors: James R. Burroughs, Alan N. O'Kain
