  • Patent number: 9198337
    Abstract: A tool body (1) has a coupler for engagement with any of a variety of tool heads such as a spade head (3), and a hatchet head (4). A tool comprising the body (1) and a tool head (3-10) is a hammer action tool. It may be used as a fork, spade, chisel, hatchet, or any tool which would benefit from a hammer action. A tubular shank (21) and a hammer (22) are together a hammer weight which is pushed down by the user until it hits a receiver (23), driving the tool head. A spring (24) returns the hammer (22) and a shank (21) back up to the start position ready for the next hammer action. It also acts to push the tool head out against a work surface for overhead work such as chiseling. A spring (25), acting between a hammer impact part (22) and the handle (21, 27) takes the shock out of the impact for the user's hands. The shank (21) and the hammer (22) slide up and down together on the box-section receiver tube (32).

  • Publication number: 20130306505
    Abstract: A golf bag (1) is provided that includes a main bag portion, and an accessory bag portion (3). The accessory bag portion may be either placed within a socket portion of the main bag portion such that the main portion and the accessory bag portion are integrated (4) to form a golf bag, or removed from the socket portion to provide access to an accessory bag that is smaller than the golf bag. The accessory bag portion includes a handle (15); and the golf bag includes a lock mechanism (24) that is operable to automatically lock the accessory bag portion in place relative to the main bag portion, when the accessory bag portion is inserted into the socket portion, and wherein once locked in the socket portion, the locking mechanism enables a user to lift the golf bag using the handle.

  • Patent number: 7577544
    Abstract: A method for determining a location and characterization of an object using a magnetic gradient tensor measurement of the object is provided. The method includes determining an object magnetic field candidate predicted from one of an object measured magnetic field gradient and an assumed object magnetic moment magnitude, and determining an object vector location and an object vector magnetic moment by combining the object magnetic field candidate with an object measured magnetic field.
