  • Patent number: 7255648
    Abstract: A practice putting cup which teaches a golfer correct putting speed as well as correct putting direction. To overcome imperfections on actual putting greens it is recognized that a putt must be struck with enough speed to not just reach the hole, but be capable of rolling approximately one to two feet past the hole. Further, if a putt is missed, ideally the putt will stop within two to three feet of the hole. Finally, a firmly struck centered putt will fall into the hole even if its speed could carry the ball as much as six to eight feet past the hole. This putting cup recognizes these ball putting speed (or distance) conditions and accordingly accepts or rejects holing putts. Thus the cup uniquely teaches correct speed as well as direction.

  • Patent number: 6276721
    Abstract: A three-point passenger restraint system for a passenger seat including a lap belt having a first end connected to a lap belt retractor and a second end. A torso belt having a first end connected to the second end of the lap belt and a second end. The second end of the torso belt is attached to an anchor arm that is pivotally mounted to a passenger seat or vehicle side structure, wherein the anchor arm is rotationally biased to remove slack in the torso belt. The anchor arm rotates and thus functions (i) as the upper height adjusting anchor point for the three-point restraining system and (ii) to adjust belt length to comfortably accommodate passenger sizes in the range of a 5th percentile female to a 95th percentile male.
