Abstract: A golf club is disclosed having a shaft fixedly connected to a grip and a head. The shaft is comprised of a tube with a rod extending through the tube. The rod is fixedly attached to the head and the grip. Various nonresilient disks are located around the rod to assist in connecting the rod to the grip. Further, resilient disks are located about the rod between the grip and the head to inhibit transverse motion of the rod within the shaft and to attenuate various modes of vibration.

Abstract: A vehicle door outside handle housing is mounted in a door panel rectangular opening such that the housing peripheral lip flange portion is in flush contact with the panel outboard surface with the housing main portion inserted in the panel opening. A central hub extends inboard from the housing main portion with its principal axis aligned on the geometric center of the opening. The hub is formed with an external thread for engagement by the internally threaded lead-in collar portion of a piloted nut. A bent spring rod retainer in its unrestrained state is assembled between the inboard surface of the panel and the undersurface of the nut driving head. The spring rod retainer includes a looped central eye formation defining a semi-circular eyelet that is self-aligned on the hub axis and telescopically receives the nut collar. Upon threaded engagement the piloted nut captures the retainer and the housing in the panel opening.
