  • Patent number: 7278924
    Abstract: A putting training system for practicing putting outdoors on a putting green or indoors on a carpeted surface comprised of a circular toroid putting target which by design has the ability to distinguish between a correctly or incorrectly struck putt with the rule that all putts should be struck with enough force to leave the golf ball approximately seventeen inches past the hole if the hole was not there. The training aid target is visually realistic, 360 degree, three dimensional depiction of a real hole on a putting green. This is accomplished by distinguishing the color of the outer half of the target from the inner half of the target.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6506123
    Abstract: A putting training system for practicing putting outdoors on a putting green or indoors on a carpeted surface comprising of a circular toroid putting target which by design has the ability to distinguish between a correctly or incorrectly struck putt with the rule that all putts should be struck hard enough force to leave the golf ball approximately seventeen inches past the hole if the hole was not there. The training aid target is a visually realistic, 360 degree, three dimensional depiction of a real hole on a putting green. This is accomplished by distinguishing the color of the outer half of the target from the inner half of the target. By coloring the outer half of the training aid target green and the inner half of the target black, one sees relatively the same view as a real hole when viewed from a distance.

  • Patent number: 6009880
    Abstract: A nail clipper retaining device is disclosed for retaining nail clippings within a typical nail clipper. The device utilizes as a fastening system, a universal slotted mounting located at the bottom of the u-shape channel. The slotted mounting catch slides into position between the head of the lever arm pivot pin and the lower stationary spring member of the typical nail clipper. The force between the head of the lever arm pivot pin and lower stationary spring member of the initially loaded compressive cutting mechanism of the typical nail clipper secures the retaining device to the lower spring member. The device can be easily and effortlessly mounted and dismounted for the purpose of evacuating accumulated nail clippings, cleaning and sterilization.
