  • Publication number: 20240066373
    Abstract: A correction and training tool to teach fundamentals of important actions and postures in baseball and softball games. To accomplish this, the device includes a shoulder strap, a wrist strap, and a detachable connecting link that connects the shoulder strap to the wrist strap. The connecting link may be made longer or shorter depending on the training goals. When worn on the glove arm of a user, the device restricts extension of the elbow of that arm while still giving room for slight motions, which makes it a great starter tool for young players who are just learning how to catch a baseball. The device helps improve fundamentals in pitching accuracy, catching, and fielding by not allowing the glove arm to fly open. Thus, the training device not only fundamentally helps reduce errors, but also improves accuracy in all fields.

  • Publication number: 20150191949
    Abstract: Disclosed is a door barricade for use as a home security device that serves to prevent a door from being opened by an intruder. A rigid, elongated bar extends horizontally across a doorway so as to physically prevent the door from opening. The elongated bar includes an L-shaped bracket on each end. Each bracket comprises a first section to be positioned flush against the wall on opposing sides of a doorway, and a second section to which an end of the elongated bar is secured. Bolts can be mounted on opposing sides of a doorway, and the first section of each bracket includes apertures thereon that are capable of receiving the bolts. Once a bolt is inserted through the aperture on the bracket, the shaft of the bolt can be positioned within a narrow channel on the aperture to removably secure the door barricade to the wall.

  • Patent number: 5169569
    Abstract: The PMMA (Polymethyl methacrylate) plastic used to produce one-piece intraocular lenses is modified by a novel thermoplastic pressure forming process to produce a much tougher material with improved mechanical properties. The improved material exhibits greater ductility and fatigue resistance than conventional cast PMMA sheet, resulting in a one-piece lens that is less prone to breakage from implantation or use.
