Abstract: A sports training device attached to the shaft of a swinging sports apparatus, such as a baseball bat. The device includes a drag chute disposed between two rigid members, a support rod disposed between the two rigid members along the longitudinal axis of the chute, and a plurality of coupling elements connected to the support rod. Each coupling element includes an annular opening for positioning of the sports apparatus therethrough. One coupling element has a stationary component that secures the device to the sports apparatus and a rotating component that rotates 360° around the sports apparatus. As such, the entirety of the device, with exception to this stationary component, can substantially freely rotate 360° around the sports apparatus. Resistance during a swing can be adjusted by sliding the coupling mechanisms along the support rod to expose more or less of the chute.

Abstract: An upholstered vehicle sun visor and a repair kit and method for reupholstering a vehicle sun visor. The sun visor includes a rigid or semi-rigid inner panel wrapped with, and adhered to, a sheet of flexible padded fabric, the edges of the fabric extending somewhat beyond one side edge of the inner panel. An elongated flexible, preferably plastic rope having an adhesive outer surface is adhered between the extending edges of the fabric and against the inner panel side edge. An elongated flexible hollow trim member, slit or parted along substantially an entire length thereof, is biasingly engaged and held over the rope and extending edges of the fabric to provide a finished appearance. The kit includes the adhesive coated rope and the trim member.
