  • Patent number: 4181311
    Abstract: An improved golf tee device incorporating a body member constructed of metallic wire surrounded by a protective elastomeric coating and generally describing a uniformly spaced concentric spiral. A golf ball supporting portion extends from one end of the body member and an insertion portion extends from the other end. The body member cooperates with a separate and attached line-of-flight indicating member incorporating a generally triangular planar surface with a bore therethrough adjacent the midpoint of a base of said triangle. The spiral body member passes through the bore and slidably engages the indicating member such that axial rotation of the body member results in translation of the indicating member along the axis of said body member.

  • Patent number: 4001921
    Abstract: A cable connector of the clamp type having a female member with a C-shaped sleeve and a tail, and a male member with a cylindrical head and a tail, with cable receiving bores in the head and sleeve and with the members arranged so that movement of the tails toward one another effects clamping of the cable, is particularly characterized by its ability to clamp cables of different diameters. The members are constructed to minimize the cable insertion angle so as to permit insertion of larger diameter cables without interference with the body upon which the connector is mounted, and still permit clamping of smaller diameter cables. An index or a stop serves to position the tails at a predetermined angular spacing to control the clamping force.

  • Patent number: 3932021
    Abstract: A cable clamp having jaws hingedly connected at one end by a hinge having a diametrical bore through which a cable can be inserted between the jaws, is energized by tension applied to the other ends of the jaws by a means acting to draw the jaws together into clamping engagement with a cable engaged between the jaws.
