  • Patent number: 7114622
    Abstract: A display for supporting and displaying golf clubs is configured to support the golf clubs by their heads such that the club shaft is oriented downwardly. The display includes a support member and at least one cradle mounted to the support member. The cradle has first and second upwardly curving arcuate support arms separated from one another by a trough. Each of the support arms defines an uppermost portion with the trough between the support arms. The cradle is configured such that the support arms uppermost portions are non-linear relative to one another through the trough. The golf club is positioned in the cradle resting one the support arms and with the shaft extending downwardly from about the trough.

  • Patent number: 4972488
    Abstract: A barrier for a hearing aid that combines the feature of both (1) preventing ear wax from contacting and damaging the internal components of a hearing aid or hearing aid receiver and (2) variably dampening the acoustic response of the hearing aid. The barrier includes, in combination, a housing defining a central axis of passage, as well as a plurality of projections and a screen. The projections extend inwardly from the interior surface of the housing, each projection partially occluding the cross-sectional area of the housing. The projections provide a tortuous path for ear wax migrating into the hearing aid, and the screen provides additional area for wax accumulation. The projections and screen also dampen or otherwise modify the frequency response of the hearing aid. The screen may also be interchanged or adjusted to accommodate the specific frequency attenuation needs of a particular user.

  • Patent number: 4860890
    Abstract: An apparatus for storing and dispensing small batteries. The apparatus eases the process of inserting such batteries into small electrical devices. The apparatus includes a plurality of handles, a base member removably attached to each of the handles, and a cover to envelop the plurality of handles and the cover. A small battery is removably attached to the end of each handle, allowing the use of the handle for assisting with the insertion of the battery into a small battery well. The plurality of the handles are stored in a "matchbook" type package, allowing the removal of one handle and continued storage of the remainder.
