  • Publication number: 20240123307
    Abstract: A golf club has a first shaft coupled to a club head, a second shaft configured to slidably engage a portion of the first shaft, a grip coupled to the second shaft, and an adjustable length shaft assembly received by the second shaft and configured to allow a portion of the first shaft to slide in relation to the second shaft in a first configuration, and to restrict a portion of the first shaft from sliding in relation to the second shaft in a second configuration. The grip is restricted from rotation about the first shaft or the second shaft as the first shaft slides in relation to the second shaft.

  • Patent number: 5823461
    Abstract: An apparatus and method of splicing a continuously moving web cuts and transfers the web to a new core for rewinding with a no-fold-back and wrinkle-free splice. The web is fed through a first nip point formed by a first introducer roll and a second cushioned anvil roll, and the web is through a second nip point formed by the second cushioned anvil roll and the new core. An electrostatic charging bar positioned downstream from the first nip point emits an electrostatic charge onto the web to temporarily adhere it to the second cushioned anvil roll. A rotatable cutting knife which is cooperatively engageable with the cushioned anvil roll cuts the web at a point downstream from the electrostatic charging bar but upstream from the new core thereby forming a tail and a new leading edge. The tail continues to be rewound about a finished roll. Because the new leading edge of the web has been electrostatically charged it remains stuck to the cushioned anvil roll until it reaches the new core.
