  • Patent number: 9620911
    Abstract: Electrical charging devices and assemblies are provided herein. An example device includes a housing tray having a sidewall extending perpendicularly from the housing tray, the housing tray being configured to hold a personal electronic device, the housing tray including an electrical connector interface that couples with a charging connector of the personal electronic device. The device also includes a circuit mounted on the housing tray for converting alternating current received from an electrical outlet to direct current that charges the personal electronic device through the electrical connector interface. Also, the device includes an electrical connector for electrically coupling the circuit with the electrical outlet, the electrical connector capable of being placed in either a deployed configuration where the electrical connector can couple with the electrical outlet or a stored configuration where the electrical connector cannot couple with the electrical outlet.

  • Publication number: 20170036077
    Abstract: Golf club stabilization and momentum apparatuses and methods of use are provided herein. An example apparatus can include a body having a tubular compartment defining a tubular channel, the tubular compartment extending from a surface of the body and having a sealed front end and a sealed rear end, as well as a front face. One or more objects are disposed inside the tubular channel. The objects may be weighted spheres. The one or more objects are configured to linearly translate within the tubular channel during movement of the body and impart kinetic energy to an external object in combination with the front face when the body impacts the external object. Another example apparatus has more than one tubular sidewalls defining more than one tubular channel. Each tubular channel may have one or more objects disposed inside. Exemplary tubular compartments thread into ports of the body or include alignment aids.
