  • Publication number: 20240299822
    Abstract: The present invention is a golf swing trainer that includes a handle and a weighted portion that are attached to each, whether permanently as a unitary device or temporarily, so that handle length may be adjusted. The handle comprises a neck, a first grip, and a second grip. The neck attaches to the weighted portion, while the two grips are attached to the neck. A first grip is located nearer the top end of the neck; that is, near the end of the neck away from the weighted portion. The second grip is located on the neck between the first grip and the weighted portion. Each grip protrudes from the neck at a defined angle. The weighted portion is a mass of material that is sized and shaped to provide a convenient mass that can be swung by the user.

  • Patent number: 7232361
    Abstract: The present invention discloses an automated rock saw having a saw motor load sensor to control the speed of the conveyor bringing the rock to the saw blade. As the saw motor works harder to cut a given rock, the controller automatically slows the conveyor belts, reducing the load on the saw blade. If the saw blade is easily cutting a given rock and not working at optimum speed, the conveyor will be sped up, increasing production. Also provided in an alternate embodiment is a horizontal blade that can be moved into place to cut the “bottom” of a corner piece, then the standard, vertical blade cuts the other side of the corner.
