  • Patent number: 11918864
    Abstract: Embodiments of putter-type golf club head comprising a striking surface capable of achieving consistent ball speeds across the striking surface to account for various ball impact locations are described herein. The striking surface has at least two materials that differ in concentration away from the geometric center of the striking surface to provide this consistency. Consistent (or uniform) ball speed is achieved throughout the striking surface as the portion of the golf ball that contacts the striking surface interacts with at least two materials having a differing material characteristic.

  • Patent number: 5012394
    Abstract: A hand portable light with extendable lamp housing which can be used as a hand-held device or can be used as a freestanding device when placed on a generally horizontal surface. The lamp housing is mounted to the base of the portable light by two telescoping collapsible support arms. The telescoping arms allow the lamp housing to be elevated above the base housing so that the light emitted from the lamp housing may be broadcast in the surrounding area. The lamp housing is mounted to the telescoping support arms with pivots which allow the lamp housing to be pivoted with respect to the collapsible support arms. This pivoting motion allows the extendable lamp housing to be rotated so that its emitted light may be positioned in a direction that can best accommodate the user's needs. Three battery powered embodiments of the hand portable light are disclosed, including one utilizing a fluorescent lamp.
