  • Patent number: 4494805
    Abstract: A ski locker building is disclosed having rows of lockers each configured to receive the mid-portion of a pair of skis so as to confine same against lengthwise removal. Recesses in upper and lower plate members of each locker receive a skier's laterally inserted skis and poles whereafter a locker door is closed to constitute a barrier to ski and pole removal. A door jamb is of tubular construction to house lock mechanisms serving adjacent locker doors. A plunger type switch acts on a door mounted plate to urge the door to an open position in those instances where a latching solenoid is rendered inoperable by a computer controlled circuit including a circuit interrupter to cause cycling of the solenoid.

  • Patent number: 4017086
    Abstract: A forearm attached device for retention of the golfer's grip in cocked configuration until the proper release point in the downswing. A ratchet assembly is attachable to the forearm and receives a retention rod pivotally coupled at its opposite end to a retention plate affixed to the back of the golfer's hand. The ratchet assembly permits unobstructed rearward passage of the rod during cocking of the wrist and hand during the backswing and assists in holding the hand cocked until club imparted forces overcome adjustably biased ratchet components which permit rod extraction allowing the golfer's grip to "break" at the proper time. An abutment plate prevents displacement of the ratchet assembly on the arm during rod extraction.
