  • Patent number: 6696827
    Abstract: A device for locating a metallic stud disposed within a wall. The device comprises an elongate housing which itself comprises a base portion defining a generally planar contact surface and a handle portion which extends from the base portion. In addition to the housing, the device comprises at least one magnet which defines a generally planar attraction surface. The magnet is disposed within the base portion of the housing such that the attraction surface extends in generally parallel relation to the contact surface. The magnet and the housing are sized relative to each other such that the force of magnetic attraction between the magnet and the stud when the device is oriented in a particular location upon the wall is sufficient to maintain the device thereon without external support.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6004229
    Abstract: A multi-purpose golf tool having a round recess with a surrounding wall. A magnetic post in the center of the recess holds a round metallic ball marker in the recess. By pushing down on one edge of the marker an opposite edge is lifted up over the adjacent wall and the marker can be slid forward off of the tool body into a ball marking position. A ribbed or jagged front edge allows the tool to fit into and clean golf club grooves. A pair of elongate rearwardly-extending elongate prongs are uniquely dimensioned and configured to function as both a turf repair tool and as a cleat or spike wrench.
