  • Patent number: 11105249
    Abstract: An exhaust assembly includes an exhaust tube and a coolant passage. The exhaust tube is oriented about an axis and an exhaust gas is configured to flow through the exhaust tube in a direction away from an end of the exhaust tube. The coolant passage is oriented about the axis radially outward of the exhaust tube, the coolant passage having an inner shell and an outer shell. The end of the exhaust tube includes one or more holes permitting exhaust gas to flow around the end of the exhaust tube between an outer wall of the exhaust tube and the inner shell of the coolant passage to regulate a temperature of the inner shell of the coolant passage.

  • Patent number: 7780553
    Abstract: Golf training apparatus comprises a base having an opening through which an anchor member passes for embedding in the ground. The anchor member and the base have engageable and disengageable retainers which respectively enable and prevent separation thereof. The anchor member is coupled to a ball support in such manner as to enable the ball support to provide support for a golf ball and to rock relative to the anchor member in response to the striking of the ball or its support by a golf club. The coupling between the ball support and the anchor member is resiliently elastic, thereby enabling automatic recovery of the ball support member to its ball-supporting condition following the execution of a stroke.
