Abstract: A golf training aid for improving putting stroke and stance is transparent plastic in the shape of a tunnel, the bottom being open for placement on grass or carpet. A guide slot is formed by a rectilinear guide slot housing centrally disposed along the length of the upper wall and extending forward from the entrance opening, forming a neck. A black or opaque strip of plastic forms an extendable guide bar slidingly fitting within the guide slot. The extendable guide bar may be pulled forward a desired distance so as to increase the effective length of the device. Parallel opaque stripes are located along the length of the upper wall and spaced the diameter of a golf cup. The golfer evaluates putting stroke and ball travel relative to the guide bar and stripes.

Abstract: A wind cap for buildings serves to anchor a building structure securely to the underlying terrain. The wind cap is a series of base plates which are temporarily and removably placed upon the roof of a structure, with a corresponding series of tiedown straps secured over the plates and attached to ground anchors on opposite sides of the structure. Two of the base plate components may be hinged together along their common edges for placement over the ridge line of the roof. Single plates are placed along the eaves and at intermediate points of the roof span. Each plate includes at least one pair of roller support arms adjustably extending upwardly therefrom, with a roller installed between each arm pair. The rollers eliminate the drag of the tiedown strap passing thereover, thereby eliminating asymmetrical loads on the underlying plates and roof as the straps are tightened.
