Abstract: A method for altering a golf club shaft by removing less than five grams of metal from an interior wall surface in a flex zone. This is performed without penetrating through an exterior wall surface of the shaft.

Abstract: A method for altering a graphite golf club shaft having a hollow interior with an interior wall surface, a butt end, and a flex zone sixteen inches from the butt end with a range one inch up and one inch down from the measured sixteen inch point which includes placing a section of steel tubing into the hollow interior shaft and against the interior wall surface in the flex zone.

Abstract: A repositionable roof, for a stadium building, comprising at least two opposed ungular segments in abutting relationship, the segments being mounted each on an arcuate track and movable thereon for separation of the segments to expose the interior of the building thereby selectively providing an open air stadium.

Abstract: A retractable roof for a stadium, comprising a central arch separating a pair of end segments, one end segment being fixed, the central arch being movable to a position above the fixed end segment, the other end segment being movable arcuately laterally to a position transverse to its closed position and laterally external to the central arch.

Abstract: To form an audience chamber in a roofed stadium, at least one truss suspendable from the stadium roof and a canopy removably connectable to the truss. The canopy comprises a plurality of parallel, contiguous elongated panels of flexible material. A close-off curtain is suspendable from the canopy when only a portion of the stadium is to be used as the audience chamber.

Abstract: An apparatus is provided with a chamber (20) into which a plurality of jets of moisture-laden air is directed through apertures (nozzles) 18. Through the chamber lasted shoes S, on the bottoms of which a coating of a moisture-curable adhesive composition has been applied, are progressively moved, supported bottom uppermost. The velocity of the air, which is re-circulated, is between 10 and 20 meters/second (measured at the apertures), its temperature is between 85.degree. C. and 125.degree.0 C. (measured at the point of impingement on the article) and its dew point not greater than 60.degree. C. The lasted shoes are subjected to this treatment for a period of 1 to 31/2 minutes.

Abstract: Method of bonding a sole to a shoe by applying moisture-curable melt adhesive to the shoe upper, subjecting the adhesive coating to a hot-cure step with airborne moisture, and pressing the sole and shoe upper together with the adhesive between them immediately after the hot-cure step, preferably in less than 90 seconds after leaving the hot-cure. The bond is effected without application of adhesive to the sole, which is merely pre-treated by wiping with solvent or primer solution.

Abstract: A retractable roof, for a stadium building, comprising a central arch separating a pair of ungular end segments, one end segment being movable into nesting relationship with the other end segment and the central arch being movable to rest above the nesting end segments, the nesting end segments and the above resting central arch being movable laterally whereby the interior of the stadium is more fully exposed.

Abstract: The specification describes and claims substantially odourless compositions having a pot life after mixing acceptable for use in manufacture and repair of aircraft and which cure at room temperature to provide a mass of heat and aircraft fuel resistant elastomeric material. The compositions comprise components which are at least substantially free of thiol and comprise a fluorocarbon copolymer, organic solvent, metallic oxide, epoxy compound and as crosslinking agent a diamino silane according to the general formula (i) namely ##STR1## Examples disclose compositions formed from admixture of two components comprising Viton A, methyl ethyl ketone, magnesium oxide, Epikote 828 and N-beta(aminoethyl) gamma-aminopropyl-trimethoxysilane. The compositions are suitable for forming coatings, adhesive bonds and seals, to metal parts of titanium and aluminium alloys which have resistance to aviation fuels and high temperatures.
