Abstract: A sleeve for improving a swinging motion of a user wearing the sleeve includes a tubular portion and a primary member. The tubular portion has a first opening and a second opening. The tubular portion configured to directly engage an arm portion of the user, wherein the arm portion extends from the first opening to the second opening. The primary member is substantially adjacent a first opening of the tubular portion, wherein the primary member is removably attached or permanently attached to the sleeve. The thickness of the primary member is greater than a thickness of the tubular portion for providing feedback to the user when the primary member is in contact with a torso of the user.

Abstract: A shirt for improving a swinging motion of a user wearing the shirt includes front and rear panels each having corresponding top, bottom and generally opposing side edges, wherein the front and rear panels are adjoined to each other by the top and side edges, defining an interior space of the shirt. The front and rear panels include sleeve cutouts formed on each side edge adjacent the top edge, and a neck cutout formed on the top edges of the front and rear panels. At least one tubular sleeve is permanently joined to the front and rear panels of at least one of the sleeve cutouts, the tubular sleeve defining an inside area, the inside area being fluidly connected to the interior space of the shirt. A member is substantially adjacent to the sleeve cutout and the side edges of both the front and rear panels.

Abstract: A golfer training device includes a sensor, a feedback output device configured to output a feedback and a processor in communication with the sensor and the feedback output device. The processor is configured to instruct the feedback output device to output the feedback when the sensor is in close proximity to either an elbow or chin of a golfer.

Abstract: A stable seat and back support specially configured to elevate the buttocks and hips above the knees and to shift a portion of the user's weight from the buttocks to the knees and forelegs in a cross-legged position. The seat is sized and configured to position the user's body for meditation and relaxation in a solid stable position that combines a sitting and kneeling posture. In particular, the height and depth of the chair are sized to encourage the cross-legged sitting-kneeling posture. The depth is sized to purposely limit support of the thighs and the height selected for vertical posture of the user's back in the sitting-kneeling cross-legged position. A shallow notch is formed in the front of the seat to properly position the user's inside heel in the cross-legged position and thereby to help stabilize the seat and the position of the person using the seat.

Abstract: A new recessed rail deflector or bumper for a bowling alley comprises a rail or bumper that rises vertically adjacent to the edge of the bowling alley lane. The rail or bumper is concealed in a longitudinal pocket or well formed in the gutter with the top of the rail forming a small portion of the gutter surface adjacent to the edge of the lane. The new rail or bumper is totally non-obtrusive when retracted and therefore is harmonious with the gutter and lane and hidden from view. A simple four bar linkage causes the rail or bumper to rise into position to prevent balls from entering the gutter in "bumper bowling".

Abstract: A deflecting cushion for positioning in the gutter of a bowling alley includes a self-inflating, open-cell compressible foam disposed within an elongated, flexible air-impervious tube closed at both ends. Disposed on one end of the tube is a first aperture with a cap for allowing air to enter the tube and the foam to self-inflate. The cushion may be collapsed for folding and storage by evacuating the tube. A second aperture having a valve such as a flap-type air valve may be provided to permit the tube to be pressurized slightly above atmospheric pressure after the tube is filled via the first aperture and the first aperture is sealed.

Abstract: A collapsible sport striking instrument is provided having an elongated member and oppositely disposed handle and hitting ends. The instrument is constructed such that the hitting profile defined by the diameter of the bat adjacent to its hitting end can be made larger thereby improving the chances of hitting a ball with the bat. The instrument of this invention is collapsible or deployable such that storing and transporting the device is facilitated.

Abstract: In an improved bowling alley resilient or non-resilient deflection means are removably disposed along both sides of the lane bed for preventing balls from dropping into the gutters of the bowling alley. Exemplary deflection means of the invention are tubes, springs, elastic bands removably disposable in the gutters and conveniently storable elsewhere when removed.
