  • Publication number: 20170319925
    Abstract: A golf putter head includes a back body and a face body having a golf ball contact surface. The face body includes an entirety of the contact surface, with the back body and the face body having surfaces without contact across a gap defined by the surfaces. The golf putter head further includes a vibration dampening intermediate body filling the gap to isolate the face body from the back body by completely separating the back body and the face body from one another. The intermediate body has a durometer selectable during assembly of any number within a range of 40 to 90 Shore-A. A coefficient of restitution of the golf ball contact surface of the golf putter head has a direct relationship with the durometer of the intermediate body such that golf putter heads with varying coefficients of restitution may be fabricated by varying the durometer of the intermediate body.

  • Publication number: 20140052058
    Abstract: A breast pump provides multiple orientations of the pumping lever with respect to the breast shield. A breast pump includes a liner extending from the breast shield, through the suction chamber, and out of the suction chamber, which liner shields other components of the pump from contamination by the flow of milk through the pump during pumping operation. A breast pumping device includes a pumping lever for manually providing a cyclical vacuum within the suction chamber and an external pumping source, connected to the suction bell, that the user can activate to provide a cyclical vacuum within the suction chamber. A breast pump provides a smaller change in the grip width from when the lever is fully-extended to when the lever is fully-retracted, allowing more comfortable manual pumping.
