Abstract: A heated mouthpiece includes an upper trough and optionally a lower trough for interfacing with teeth of a user and a heat retention mass that is thermally and physically interfaced to the trough(s). External heat is provided to the heat retention mass from, for example, by immersion in hot water or the mouthpiece is heated in a microwave oven. An oral compound such as a teeth whitening compound is set in the trough(s) and the mouthpiece is inserted into the user's mouth, the trough(s) surround the teeth. Heat from the heat retention mass conducts to the trough(s) while the mouthpiece section is in use within the mouth thereby activating the oral compound.

Abstract: An application for a heated mouthpiece includes a mouthpiece section for insertion into the mouth of a user and a heat retention mass connected to the mouthpiece section and in thermal contact with the mouthpiece section whereby external heat provided to the heat retention mass before insertion into the mouth is partially retained by the heat retention mass and conducts to the mouthpiece section while the mouthpiece section is in use within the mouth.

Abstract: A golf club tool, timepiece, and scoring apparatus has an elongated body having a pair of prongs on one end thereof shaped to form a divot tool and a pair of lobes formed on the other end shaped to cradle a golf club shaft therebetween. The body has a watch mechanism mounted therein having a display face and a bezel. The bezel has predetermined markings thereon mounted in the elongated body with the display face opened to the front side thereof. A scoring ring or bezel is rotatably mounted under a front side cover adjacent to and around the timekeeper bezel and is marked for keeping a golf score when rotated relative to the cover and aligning the markings with an aperture in the cover so that a golf tool can keep a golfer's score and time. The body has a snap-on back cover which may also have a ball marker holder formed therein removably supporting a ball marker with a display of an image on the ball marker positioned in a window on the rear of the body or a money or belt clip may be formed on the back cover.
