Abstract: A golf ball-grabbing device including a cap affixable at the longitudinal extremity of the grip of a putter shaft and having a single central opening therethrough with finger-receiving guide notches therearound, and a movable grabber assembly having (a) a base member shaped to be movably retained within the shaft below the cap and (b) at least three non-destructibly resiliently-deformable resiliently-deformable strip-like fingers each having a proximal end secured to the base member, an arcuate ball-grabbing portion, and a distal end terminating in a camming member having a substantially-planar ball-engagable face, each finger slidably engaged within one of the notches. The movable grabber assembly is slidable with respect to the cap between a non-use position in which the arcuate portions of the fingers are contained only by the shaft and a use position in which the arcuate portions of the fingers are deployed outside the shaft and above the cap.

Abstract: A dry ink transfer system is provided which allows for a very thin unsupported image to be transferred to a surface, and in certain cases for two (or more) overlying, separately removable images to be applied to a surface. Although unsupported, the image(s) is (are) able to endure large amounts of friction without image distortion or damage. Because the image(s) is (are) so thin, tactile discernment of the image edges is impossible and friction forces against the image edges are substantially reduced. Although the method of transfer does not require heat, solvents, or high pressure, the adhesion between the images and the surface is very strong. The separately-removable images allow ready display of short-term images with easy reappearance of a more permanent image.

Abstract: A process of screen printing images on a substrate which effectively diminishes the Moire effect and other screen printing process distortions. The process utilizes specific screen angles for printing each process ink color, the application of UV light to set the ink on the substrate and the automated transfer of the substrate between printing and drying stations.
