  • Patent number: 4575089
    Abstract: A golf pronation and training device comprises a first member adapted for attachment to an upper forearm of a golfer and a second member adapted for attachment to the hand of the golfer. A torsion spring is interconnected between the members for preloading the device with a predetermined magnitude of torquing force when the device is attached to the upper forearm and hand of the golfer. The device functions to rotate the golfer's lower forearm and hand to thereby "release" a golf club immediately following the moment of impact of a club head with a golf ball. In addition, the device induces a "square-to-square" relationship during a golfer's backswing.

  • Patent number: 4342988
    Abstract: A monitor system for sensing the failure of a rupture disc and activating an alarm in response to such a failure. The system also senses potential failure of a rupture disc. The system includes a failsafe signal carrying loop which is broken when the rupture disc fails, thereby interrupting the signal. The system also includes a signal sensor which recognizes a signal interruption or substantial modification in the signal and initiates and cooperates with an alarm device to provide notice to an operator or a safety device that the rupture disc has failed.

  • Patent number: 4077581
    Abstract: Paper or like media, utilized for maintaining a permanent record of printed matter, is driven by a drive roller and is caused to be wound on a spool or core which is swingable from the drive roller as the amount of paper on the spool increases. An "O" ring drive is positioned between a main drive line for intermittent engagement therewith and is connected with the spool for driving thereof.

  • Patent number: RE34308
    Abstract: A monitor system for sensing the failure of a rupture disc and activating an alarm in response to such a failure. The system also senses potential failure of a rupture disc. The system includes a failsafe signal carrying loop which is broken when the rupture disc fails, thereby interrupting the signal. The system also includes a signal sensor which recognizes a signal interruption or substantial modification in the signal and initiates and cooperates with an alarm device to provide notice to an operator or a safety device that the rupture disc has failed.
