Abstract: An electric fishing reel remotely operated by a mobile terminal in widespread use, such as a smartphone, may include a reel body, and a radio communication module complying with at least one of the Wi-Fi Standard or the Bluetooth specification in the reel body. The electric fishing reel may communicate with a mobile terminal having a radio communication module corresponding to the radio communication module of the electric fishing reel, and perform remote operation in response to an instruction signal transmitted from the mobile terminal during communication. A device identification code may be uniquely allocated to the reel body. A communication protocol connection may be established by causing the mobile terminal to read the device identification code before a remote operation. In embodiments, the mobile terminal may communicate with a plurality of remotely operated electric fishing reels.

Abstract: The invention relates to a golf ball test hitter used for testing the performance of a golf club after manufacture of the club, which comprises a first arm corresponding a man's arm, a second arm corresponding to a wrist, being supported at a free end of the first arm, clamping means provided in the second arm for clamping a golf club, first swivel means for swiveling and manipulating the first arm, second swivel means for swiveling and manipulating the second arm, changeover means for stopping power swivel of the second arm by the second swivel means at an arbitrary position, and changing over the second arm from power swivel to inertial swivel, and brake means for braking the second arm changed over to inertial swivel, whereby arbitrary and varied motions ranging from beginners to professional players can be obtained, and hence varied test results corresponding to various patterns (club swivel trajectories including the motion of the wrist) can be obtained.

Abstract: This invention is concerned with a golf club swinging apparatus for testing performance of golf clubs, for example. The golf club swinging apparatus is capable of swinging a golf club from an addressing position through take-back, back swing top, down swing, impact and follow-through positions to a follow-through end position, which results in substantially the same club swinging locus as by a golfer. The club swinging apparatus therefore enables flight distance and various other tests to be conducted reliably.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a thermoelectric physical remedy apparatus applicable to physical remedy processes for dealing with weight-reduction beauty-treatment like removal of superfluous flesh from abdomen for example, contusion, sprain, muscular fatigue, and others, which features compact size of the entire unit, easy application in house holds, and easy switching between high and low temperature by means of covering thermoelectric elements with the externally exposed junction pieces of thermoelectric elements as well as by providing soft external housing unit containing ventilation path.

Abstract: The invention is concerned with a construction of a rod holder fixing means comprising a rod holder and a cylinder detachably pivoted thereon, wherein a spacer is suspended on a side of the cylinder, and adapted to be adjustably pressed against the inside of a rod hole by screwably moving a bolt through the cylinder so that the means is slidably insertible into any rod hole regardless of the diameter, position and inclination thereof with respect to the gunnel surface of a fishing boat and fixedly mountable on or above the gunnel regardless of the width and shape thereof.

Abstract: A device for practicing golf putting strokes includes signal members embedded in the putting surface to detect improper movements of the head of the putting club. Each signal member includes a light source and a coacting sensor which detects the light from the coacting light source when it is reflected from the bottom surface of the putter head. The central bottom surface area of the putter head is covered with a non-reflecting surface, while the remaining bottom surface area of the club head is covered with a reflecting substance such as aluminum.

Abstract: The present invention is concerned with a novel construction of a shoe dryer having at least a pair of flexible blow pipes detachably mounted to one side of a main body housed with a motor, a sirroco fan, a heating means and a timeswitch, wherein an orthopaedic instep plate and an auxiliary supporting frame are rigidly fixed to a nozzle means mounted to the foremost end of said each flexible blow pipe thereby to reform a shapeless shoe internally thereof, the orthopaedic instep plate being adapted to restrictively support the auxiliary supporting frame thereby to regulate the elastic deformation of the latter frame, and an regenerative plate axially inflated and detachably engaged with the frame.

Abstract: A collapsible universal fishing rod holding apparatus for a fishing boat, including a platform provided at one side with a vice mechanism capable of holding a selected gunnel portion of the boat under vertical and lateral pressure subject to the cross-sectioned shape of the portion, and at the other side with a base plate pivoted adjacent to an end of the platform in vertically movable relation with respect to the plane of the platform, a receiving plate pivoted on the base plate to move in parallelism with the plane thereof, a rod holder detachably inserted into the receiving plate and a supporting means pivoted adjacent to the other end of the platform so as to telescopically support a fishing rod at a desired level, wherein the rod holder connected to the fishing rod is adapted to be detachably engageable through its extension with the receiving plate, permitting the rod to move alternatively into vertical relation with respect to the platform or in parallel relation with respect to the plate thereof.

Abstract: A Nichrome wire resistor is connected in series with the motor of a motorized fishing reel. A stabilized voltage is supplied (selected by a potentiometer) and a transistor switching circuit is arranged to actuate a signal if the voltage drop across the Nichrome resistor increases above the selected reference voltage (due to the voltage drop effect of the increased current through the motor if it is overloaded).

Abstract: A motorized fishing reel having constructions wherein at least two externally operable adjusting means are applied to screwably adjust the pressing force of springs connected thereto so as to effectively transmit a rotary power from an electric motor to a rotary shaft through at least two clutch means connected to said springs, and wherein a resilient pin means is detachably inserted through a tapered end of said rotary shaft into an annular thread formed on said end so as to permit a spool to be easily mounted to and removed off said shaft by moving an operating lever integrated with a cam serving to expand said pin means.

Abstract: In a mechanism for mounting a spool to a fishing reel, a rotary shaft for rotating the spool is formed at one side with a small diameter shaft portion, and an annular groove adapted to be held by a resilient forked pin detachably engaged with a supporting member for supporting said rotary shaft. Near the center of the pin and between the pin's forked elements is held a cam movably connected to a lever operable from the supporting member so that when the cam is moved by operating the lever, the pin is forced to extend outwardly so as to release the engaged relation of the pin with the thread whereby the spool is easily dismounted from the rotary shaft. The extremity of the rotary shaft is formed into a tapered portion which can, when pressed, extend outwardly the forked elements of the pin until the elements fall into the thread and hold the same therebetween whereby a new spool is easily mounted to the rotary shaft.
