20130029775 | SWING-WEIGHT-ADJUSTABLE GOLF CLUBS AND CLUBHEADS - Clubs and clubheads are disclosed that allow the swing-weight thereof to be easily changed by attaching or exchanging a “weight-assembly” having a first portion configured as a “weight insert,” a second portion configured as an overcap, and a third portion configured as a drive screw. The drive screw extends through the overcap and into the weight-insert to assemble the weight-assembly, which fits into a weight-receiving cavity on the clubhead. These three components are made of respective materials (having respective densities) that are selected so that each component contributes a desired fraction of the total mass of the weight-assembly to the clubhead to achieve a desired change in swing-weight. By mix-match selection of the components, a wide range of masses of the weight assemblies can be made, with small increments therebetween. | 01-31-2013 |

20140171220 | BADGE FOR GOLF CLUB HEAD - The present disclosure concerns embodiments of a badge or insert for a golf club head that can eliminate undesired gaps between the insert and the peripheral sidewall of the cavity that receives the insert. In one embodiment, a golf club head comprises a main body comprising a cavity, which defines a central surface and an inner peripheral surface at least partially surrounding the central surface. An insert comprises a central portion and a deflectable portion coupled to and extending along a peripheral edge section of the central portion. The deflectable portion has a shape corresponding to and contacting a corresponding section of the inner peripheral surface of the cavity. The deflectable portion forms a press-fit engagement with the corresponding section of the inner peripheral surface of the cavity that retains the deflectable portion in a deflected state relative to the central portion. | 06-19-2014 |

20130293362 | MULTI-DEGREES-OF-FREEDOM HAND CONTROLLER - Disclosed is a controller including a first control member, a second control member that extends from a portion of the first control member, and a controller processor that is operable to produce a rotational movement output signal in response to movement of the first control member, and a translational movement output signal in response to movement of the second control member relative to the first control member. The rotational movement output signal may be any of a pitch movement output signal, a yaw movement output signal, and a roll movement output signal, and the translational movement output signal may be any of an x-axis movement output signal, a y-axis movement output signal, and a z-axis movement output signal. In exemplary embodiments, the first control member may be gripped and moved using a single hand, and the second control member may be moved using one or more digits of the single hand, thus permitting highly intuitive, single-handed control of multiple degrees of freedom, to and including, all six degrees of rotational and translational freedom without any inadvertent cross-coupling inputs. | 11-07-2013 |
20160135638 | Tea Brewing Containment Device - A device and method for preparing a cup of tea from a tea bag or tea leaves, for reusing the tea bag or tea leaves, and for handling and containing the spent tea bag or leaves is disclosed. The device is configured to remotely dip a tea bag or tea leaves into a hot cup of water, retrieve the tea bag or tea leaves after dipping, and apply pressure onto the spent tea bag or tea leaves to squeeze out undiffused flavor. The device is additionally configured to encapsulate the spent tea bag or tea leaves to prevent undesirable drippings from the tea bag or tea leaves that could scald the user's skin, and to obscure from view the unattractive, damp, and used tea materials. | 05-19-2016 |
