Publication number: 20190284844Abstract: A method of manufacturing a handcuff includes bending a first bar of alloy into a curve roughly matching a shape of a desired cheek plate half, heating the first bar to a forging temperature, die forging the first bar into a first cheek frame forging having a first lockset cavity portion, and trimming the first forging to a form a first forged cheek from half having a first cheek arm. This is repeated with a second bar to obtain a second forged cheek frame half having a second cheek arm. The first cheek frame half is joined directly to the second cheek frame half, the first lockset cavity portion and the second lockset cavity portion combining to form a lockset cavity. A bow is pivotally attached between the first and second cheek arms and a lockset is installed in the lockset cavity.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 19, 2019Publication date: September 19, 2019Inventor: Kevin Parsons

Patent number: 10226677Abstract: An enclosed disc-golf court (10) with multiple holes (24). Each hole has a disc throwing lane (32) between a tee-off area (26) and a target basket (30). Boundary walls (36) on each side of the lane extend from a floor (14) to or near a roof (16). At least one hole has an obstacle (52A-M) partially blocking the lane. A player attempts to manually throw a disc (28) through an unblocked area (56, 60) in or beside the obstacle to hit the target basket. At least one target basket may have a sheath (62) that blocks entry of the disc except through a disc-access hole (66) in the sheath. A player can try repeatedly from where the disc lands after each throw until it enters the target basket up to a maximum number of tries per hole. The lowest score among multiple players wins a round.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2017Date of Patent: March 12, 2019Inventor: Kevin Parsons
