Abstract: A floor wipe is provided in a symmetrical shape wherein a human foot may easily fit with toes of the foot at a desired end of the floor wipe and the heel of the foot at the opposing end. Floor wipe has a floor contact side and a foot contact side where a user would place their foot on the foot contact side of the device and manipulate the device about the floor to clean an area of the floor. The device has a first cleaning area, having a first characteristic, such as absorbency, at one end of the device and a second cleaning area, having a second characteristic, such as scouring, which is unique from the characteristic of the first cleaning area, at an opposing end of the device. The foot contact side has structural configuration elements which resist the foot of the user from slipping there along during usage.

Abstract: The tool provides for cleaning of debris from grooves positioned on a face of a golf club. The tool has at least one working set of groove penetration pins which extend from a face contact side of the tool. Each groove penetration pin of the working set utilized during a cleaning procedure seats within a respective groove of the golf club. Preferably each deployed working set has three groove penetration pins. Once the groove penetration pins of the utilized working set are seated in unique grooves the tool is moved along the face of the golf club where each groove penetration pin is displaced substantially along the length of the respective groove. This provides for at least a substantial portion of any debris within the groove under treatment to be removed from the grooves. A series of such swipes of the tool are employed to clean debris from all grooves.

Abstract: A floor wipe is provided in the general shape of a human foot and has a floor contact side and a foot contact side where a user would place their foot on the foot contact side of the device and manipulate the device about the floor to clean an area of the floor. The device has a first cleaning area, having a first characteristic, such as absorbency, about a toe placement end of the device and a second cleaning area, having a second characteristic, such as scouring, which is unique from the characteristic of the first cleaning area, about a heel placement end of the device. The foot contact side has structural configuration elements which resist the foot of the user from slipping there along during usage. These structural configuration elements include embroidery in the shape of human toes at the toe placement end of the device.

Abstract: A golf tool capable of performing multiple manipulation tasks associated with the play of the game of golf has a body of a first material and inserts of a second material. The inserts are user removable and replaceable relative to the body of the golf tool. The inserts will be associated with tasks which require a relatively strong and durable material in order to ensure an acceptable life span for performance of their respective tasks. Cutting or scrapping operations are such tasks. The use of durable inserts provide for the body of the golf tool to be considerable less expensive to manufacture using lighter and softer materials than that material utilized for the inserts. Replacement of the insert with a replacement insert, supplied with the golf tool, is an option when the respective deployed insert becomes worn or dull. Removal of certain inserts provide for easier sharpening of cutting edges.

Abstract: A tee portion and a height regulating portion cooperate to form a height adjustable golf tee where the user may readily and easily adjust placement of the height regulating portion relative to a placement zone along the tee portion and lock the height regulating portion at a desired location defined by the user. The height regulating portion is locked onto the tee portion during assembly where it may not inadvertently become separated during use, transport or storage. The height regulating portion is easily transferred between an adjustment position and a locking position utilizing a simple toggle like action. The height adjustable golf tee provides for a golf ball to be retained consistently at a user defined elevation above the ground during play of the game of golf.

Abstract: Performance of at least four (4) useful functions are provided for by a multiple purpose golf tool. The first useful function being release of compression of turf associated with an impact from a golf ball. The remaining useful functions include supporting at least the grip of the club about the ground, applying a rotational pressure to a slot of a slotted head screw or applying a rotational pressure to a phillips slot of a phillips slotted head screw or club face groove cleaning or golf shoe spike cleaning or sharpening of a pencil or removal of a bottle cap from a bottle or lifting a beverage can pull tab relative to the beverage can or install and removal of a golf shoe spike relative to a golf shoe. The multiple purpose golf tool may be stored on a shaft of a putter directly below a grip of the putter.

Abstract: Storage of a golf tool on a putter is disclosed where the golf tool may be easily placed in a storage state and easily removed from the storage state for use to perform a useful function associated with the play of the game of golf. The golf tool is stored on the shaft of a putter directly below the grip of the putter and on a rearward extent generally in a blind spot to the golfer while utilizing the putter to strike a golf ball. The attachment of the golf tool prevents axial rotation about the shaft of the putter from the blind spot into an orientation which would distract the golfer during putting. The golf tool will have at least structures to permit repair of divots on the green with additional structures to perform other functions available on the golf tool.

Abstract: A seating ring having a unique surface designed to engage with the convex outer surface of a valve disc, thereby providing a uniquely tight and bi-directional seal. The seating ring has a first, free end, an angled contact point adjacent to the free end, a convex sealing surface adjacent to the angled contact point, a hairpin curve adjacent to the convex sealing surface, and a second, mounting end.

Abstract: A valve including a valve body having a centrally disposed aperture, a rotatable shaft, and a valve disc. The disc has a circumference with an outer edge and is disposed about the shaft such that the disc rotates to an open position and a closed position within the aperture. The valve body further includes a body moment arm about the circumference of the aperture, a body annular recess about the body moment arm and an annular seating ring retainer also about the circumference of the aperture. The seating ring retainer includes a retainer moment arm opposing the body moment arm and a retainer annular recess, a portion of which adjoins the body annular recess. An annular seating ring, also disposed about the circumference of the aperture, has a first end including a tip and a sealing surface adapted to contact the outer edge of the disc when the disc is in the closed position.
