Abstract: An improved golf pin flag device for providing accurate wind velocity information is disclosed, including a golf pin and a flexible open-ended frusto-conical shaped flag member which, when encountering incident wind, enlarges and becomes extended in proportion to wind speed and self-orients parallel to the wind flow to indicate wind direction. A pair of elongated resilient members define the periphery of the larger opening of the frusto-conical member. The opposite ends of the elongated members are pivotably mounted to rotatable bearings on the golf pin. As the elongated members pivot away from each other, they enlarge the opening and the lowermost bearing slides upward on the golf pin.

Abstract: A golfer's implement is a combination of a wind indicator and a golf ball retriever with a telescoping handle for compactness and ease of carrying.

Abstract: Control system for indicating which, of a plurality of sensed pressure control fluid functions, first malfunctions. The system includes a plurality of series connected devices, each such device includes a shiftable valve which, in one position activates an indicator, and, in another position deactivates said indicator. Signalling connections link the devices such that all indicators, save the one governing the first malfunction, remain in the indicating condition they were in prior to such malfunction occurring.

Abstract: A method for avoiding detection by game animals by scent through establishing wind direction to insure that the hunter is positioned downwind from the animal. In the method, a small quantity of a hydrophobic material such as unscented raw talc powder, which may be mixed with a natural masking scent material, is sprayed into the air in a relatively small cloud by means of a hand-held manually operated squeeze bottle. The direction of travel in the air of the cloud of material may then be used to establish wind direction. The material is such as to be undetectable by smell by the animal, and the size and characteristics of the powder cloud is such as to be visually undetectable by the animal at a distance.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for monitoring fluid flow through a pressurized lubrication system. The device includes a reciprocally arranged indicator that is responsive to fluid pressures within the lubrication system for exteriorally indicating the lubricant flow as a function of the reciprocal position of the indicator.

Abstract: An air flow sensor 14 senses the presence of cooling air from a blower 12 to a lamp housing 10. A vane 44 closes an opening 42 when air is flowing to close a switch 50 which permits a lamp 16 to be turned on. The vane 44 does not extend into the air flow path.

Abstract: A constant-flow regulator for use in gravity-assisted liquid-delivery systems, wherein the regulator comprises: upper and lower cylindrical elements secured together for movement to form a chamber, whereby the height of the chamber formed by the upper and lower sections may be varied; and a double conical float element positioned within the chamber, the float element moving between a closed and an open position, whereby one or the other end of the float element moves upwardly or downwardly to seal an inlet or an outlet, in order to maintain constant the liquid level within the closed container formed by the first and second cylindrical elements.
