  • Publication number: 20080060147
    Abstract: This Golf Ball Cleaning Machine is a portable or a fixed mount design constructed of an aluminum casing in two hinged halves that opens for service of mechanisms and parts. The inner machine consists of a plastic tubular shell that houses an augur mechanism and scrubbing pads along its length. Cleaning action results from an external hand cranking of the auger and continuous ball contact with scrubbing surfaces in a water-based detergent solution in the cleaning chamber. Balls to be cleaned are fed by gravity, up to six per batch, or sequentially. Balls exit the machine via a chute and are held in an integral container. The design is corrosion resistant and resistant to ambient environmental conditions.

  • Patent number: 4463747
    Abstract: A fireplace insert comprising a frame having a plurality of arms pivotly mounted on the frame. The arms are adapted to move relative to each other in order to form an X-shaped configuration or a V-shaped configuration which will provide spaces to hold logs and/or kindling material. The arms are adjustable on the frame so that the spaces for the logs can be adjusted to accommodate logs of varying sizes. The device permits the logs to remain close to each other and at the same time will provide sufficient air space to form a very efficient fire.
