  • Publication number: 20100167834
    Abstract: Described herein are iron golf club heads and sets of iron golf clubs that have variable weight distribution. Each iron golf club head has a cavity and a groove with a raised portion disposed therein. The groove and the raised portion can deepen the center of mass depth and lengthen the effective face length of the iron golf club. The width of the groove may vary between each golf club in a set of iron golf clubs, such that the width of the groove of the long irons is greater that the width of the groove of the middle irons, and the width of the groove of the middle irons is greater than the width of the optional groove of the short irons. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and discussed.

  • Publication number: 20100160067
    Abstract: Described herein are iron golf club heads and sets of iron golf clubs that have variable weight distribution. Each iron golf club head has a cavity and a y-shaped cavity pad disposed on at least a portion of a back wall of the cavity. The y-shaped cavity pad provide reduced vibrations within the cavity when the iron golf club head strikes a golf ball. The y-shaped cavity pad also provides an enlarged sweet spot to provide increased forgiveness for off-center hits. Other aspects, features, and embodiments are also claimed and described.

  • Publication number: 20100102498
    Abstract: A banknote processing machine which can be set to a banknote putting-in one by one mode and a banknote putting-in collectively mode and can reliably keep a state of the banknote putting-in one by one mode is provided. An opening regulating member is provided which sets an opening size of an inlet in a put-in banknote thickness direction to an opening size for putting banknotes in one by one and an opening size for putting banknotes in collectively. A fixing unit fixes the opening regulating member to a position of the opening size for putting banknotes in one by one and regulates setting the position of the opening regulating member to the position of the opening size for putting banknotes in collectively. In the case of an operator unused to the operation, the banknote putting-in one by one mode is adopted to reduce a banknote jam in depositing.

  • Patent number: 6247561
    Abstract: In the disk brake, mounting portions of the caliper of a disk brake extending toward the entrance side and the exit side with respect to the rotation direction of the disk. Relative to the rotation direction, the length of the mounting portion on the entrance side is greater than that of the mounting portion on the exit side so that the cylinder portion is offset toward the exit side. Further, the mounting portion on the entrance side has thickenings formed to extend in a longitudinal direction thereof, so that with respect to the direction of the axis of the disk, the thickness of the mounting portion on the entrance side is greater than that of the mounting portion on the exit side. During braking, when a bending moment acts on the caliper, which can cause inclination of the caliper relative to the disk, flexural rigidity of the mounting portion on the entrance side is higher than that of the mounting portion on the exit side.
