  • Publication number: 20240109699
    Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to cases such as battery cases and wearable device cases that can be used to prolong the life of batteries used for powering wearable devices. In a first aspect, a case can be included having a base portion defining one or more battery wells and a lid portion including one or more battery well plugs. The lid portion moves between a closed position wherein it can be engaged with the base portion and an open position wherein it can be disengaged from the base portion to allow access to contents therein. The one or more battery well plugs engage with the one or more battery wells when the lid is in the closed position to prevent the flow of oxygen into a battery within the battery well thereby slowing or ceasing the oxidation reaction of the battery and preserving battery life. Other embodiments are also included herein.

  • Patent number: 5029855
    Abstract: A golf tee holder and marker accessory to be placed at the teeing area for holding broken tees and for indicating a golfer's position relative to a distant flag placed at a "green" on a golf. The accessory includes a block member having rectangular sides and a substantially square cross section. A cone shaped aperture extends along the longitudinal axis of the block member. A pair of ground engaging spikes are attached to the bottom end of the block member for easy removal and attachment of the block member to the ground surface.
