  • Patent number: 4836545
    Abstract: A two piece metallic and composite golf shaft utilizing metal for the construction of its lower tip section, and fiber/resin composite for the construction of its upper butt section, creating a hybrid golf shaft which retains the major characteristic advantages of these two shaft materials, while being largely free of their respective disadvantages; the shaft consisting of a tubular lower metallic tip section, comprising approximately one-third of total shaft length, having parallel or tapered sides, and a plurality of diametrally expanding steps at its upper terminal end where it joins a tubular upper composite butt section of larger diameter, having a lower end which telescopingly fits into and is bonded to the inside wall of the last elongated step of the lower metallic tip section, the junction between the two sections being flush, and from whence the upper composite butt section progressively tapers outwardly to its upper terminal end.

  • Patent number: 4743061
    Abstract: A motor vehicle sun shield for use on compound curved side windows, to protect occupant's face and eyes from excessive sunlight impingement, the sun shield consisting of a generally rectangular panel of rigid tinted plastic film, bendably conformable to the window surface in the vehicle frontal and horizontal planes, having a longitudinal stiffening and inwardly biasing permanent bend near to and parallel to its upper edge, and including two spring wire mounting clips, frictionally attached and secured by perforated tabs to the panel upper edge, their opposite ends being U-shaped in form and dimensioned to fit over and grip the top edge of vehicle side windows of various thicknesses and curvatures, and to exert a rotary force pulling the panel into intimate contact with the window surface, the clips being of minimal frictional cross section and having rotational freedom allowing two point adaptive and warpless mounting of the sun shield to the curved upper window edge, delineated in the vehicle profile plane.
