  • Patent number: 9901798
    Abstract: A golf club stand used for elevating a golf club handle above the ground. The golf club stand includes a rod disposed through and slidably engaged with a mount. An anterior terminal end of the rod extends from one side of the mount, while an oppositely situated posterior terminal end extends from an opposite side of the mount. The rod may extend both vertically and horizontally from the mount. The golf club stand further comprises a cap which is fixedly secured to the anterior terminal end of the rod, and which is removably engaged with the mount.

  • Patent number: 5803010
    Abstract: A protective device (10) for preventing damage to the hull of a watercraft (12) is shown formed of elongated members (10a, 10b) of flexible material and having pressure sensitive structural adhesive on a side thereof for attaching the members to the surface of a watercraft. Member (10a) serves as a first protective member and is formed with a central section (13) having longitudinally extending cavity (30) to enable the member to conform to variously shaped hulls. One or more supplemental members (10b) are shown for attachment on each opposite side of the first protective member and serve as auxiliary protective members.

  • Patent number: 5013089
    Abstract: A vehicle seat assembly has a seat frame, and an integrated elastomeric filament suspension and fabric cover in which the elastomeric filaments and yarn for the fabric are knitted together and stretched over the frame to provide a low profile finished seat or back rest which functions both as a suspension and as an aesthetic trim cover.

  • Patent number: 5009827
    Abstract: A vehicle seat suspension has a thin high strength elastomeric membrane. The membrane is formed from block copolymer material by a process in which a sheet is extruded and tensioned to orient molecules in a select direction with respect to the membrane; the oriented membrane is annealed to retain the orientation during cyclical deformation of the membrane. The sheet form membrane is adapted to be connected with respect to a vehicle seat assembly frame and to serve as a backing for foam seating material and wherein the oriented structure of the membrane provides a two stage modulus in the direction of the orientation for providing static and dynamic load support characteristics which impart passenger comfort without increasing the weight of a seat assembly.
