Luminous ball and method of manufacturing the same
The present disclosure provides a luminous ball and relates to the technical field of ball products. The luminous ball includes a bladder and an outer cover. The bladder is provided with a plurality of first fixing blocks therein. A side of each of the plurality of first fixing blocks is hinged with a telescopic device. Output ends of the telescopic devices are hinged with a gravity ball. The gravity ball is provided with a first rectangular slot therein. According to the present disclosure, one side of the first fixing block is hinged with a telescopic device, such that during the movement of the ball, the gravity ball can expand and retract, and the movement of the gravity ball is facilitated. Through the hinging the telescopic device with the first fixing block and the gravity ball, the movement of the gravity ball in any direction inside the bladder is facilitated. A stopper between a first rectangular slot and a retaining block can buffer a first circular opening to a certain extent during the movement of the gravity ball. The structure of this product greatly improves the water resistance, and the battery can be replaced.
Handle-integrated cooking surface lighting for lids of grills
Example handle-integrated lighting assemblies including one or more lighting module(s) located substantially within a handle of a lid of a grill are described. An example lighting assembly configured to be coupled to a lid of a grill includes a handle and a lighting module. The handle includes a crossbar and a stem coupled to and oriented at an angle relative to the crossbar. The lighting module includes a light source located within the handle. The light source is configured to project light through the stem in a direction away from the crossbar.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR REAL-TIME TRACKING OF ATHLETES ACROSS GEOGRAPHICALLY SEPARATED VENUES
Object tracking systems are remotely linked to facilitate real-time competition between athletes in geographically separated, or remote, venues. Athletes wear tracking tags that are monitored by receivers in each venue to generate digital tracking data for the athletes. A local tracking system at each venue receives digital tracking data from other venues and uses it to drive a pacing system or ribbon board display so that the relative performance of athletes in different venues can be observed in real time. Alternatively, the local tracking system can output the data to a large-screen display or webcast so that attendees at the local venue can view the competition in real-time.
HEATED LIGHT PAD
The present application describes a heated light pad. The heated light pad includes housing including a top cover having a work surface and a bottom cover enclosing a housing interior. A light source and a heater are each disposed in the housing interior. The light source is structured and arranged to illuminate the work surface, and wherein the heater is structured and arranged to heat the work surface. According to an example, the light source and the heater are operable simultaneously and independently of one another.
Snow man making device for making a snow person having light emitting structures
A ball is provided forming an inside structure of the snow person, the ball having an inner and outer surface. The ball is a unitary work piece that is free and unconnected to other work pieces. An adhesion surface is disposed on the outer surface of the ball, the adhesion surface provided with nodules that extend away from the surface of the ball to adhere snow while the ball is rolled. Light units are integrated into the surface of the ball and having light emitting portions that extend away from the surface of the ball. A light output of the light units is selected to transmit light through a layer of snow. Connections between the light units situated within the ball connect the light units together.
Container apparatus and method of using same
A container apparatus can include a container and an insert assembly. The insert assembly can include four elongate members. The four elongate members can include light emitting devices for illuminating the interior of the container and/or temperature altering elements for cooling and/or heating the interior of the container. The container can have a rectangular base and a rectangular sidewall extending upwardly from the base. The sidewall can define four corners of the container, and four elongate recesses can be formed in the sidewall proximate the four corners of the sidewall to receive the elongate light members. The recesses can be sized and shaped to conform to the elongate insert members so that the insert members can be releasably retained within the elongate recesses.
CUE STICK SUPPORT FOR BILLIARDS HAVING IMPROVED GRIP FEELING
A cue stick support for billiards, and, more specifically, to a cue stick support for billiards having an improved grip feeling, in which the cue stick support is placed, in a tube shape, between a finger that forms a bridge and a cue stick, to hold and support the cue stick over a wide surface, thereby achieving accurate hitting by allowing the cue stick to easily move only in the forward and backward directions while preventing the cue stick from shaking up and down and left and right during a preparation motion for hitting a cue ball and a hitting motion. In addition, seating indentations are formed at portions on the outer surface of the cue stick support, where the thumb, index and middle fingers are brought into contact when gripping, thereby improving the grip feeling.
Billiard Table Lighting
A billiard table top lighting apparatus provides substantially uniform lighting across the surface of a billiard table surface. In one form, the lighting apparatus includes a frame supporting lights that are non-centrally placed such that no lights are supported above a middle portion of the billiard table surface. So configured, the frame can have an attractive profile and further mount additional items above the billiard table surface to enable a variety of other features. For example, the frame may support one or more cameras, one or more motion sensors, one or more microphones, and/or one or more computing devices to enable any of a variety of innovative features. Such features could include automatic game play recording from one or more perspectives, merged video track storage for replay, review, and analysis, automatic lighting and dimming control, control of the apparatus from any mobile device, and the like.
SOUND AND ILLUMINATION DEVICE FOR BICYCLES
A sound and illumination device including a sound-making portion, an illumination portion, and an attachment portion for mounting on a bicycle. The sound-making portion including a lever, a spring, a striking portion, and a metal portion, wherein the metal portion covers the lever, the spring, and the striking portion. The lever may include a magnet. The illumination portion including a cover portion, an electrical circuit, a switch, a light emitting source and a power source. Actuation of the lever of the sound-making portion results in the activation of the light emitting source of the illumination portion resulting in the concurrent emission of light and sound.
Illuminating bows for playing stringed musical instruments
An illuminating musical bow for visually enhanced performance when playing stringed instruments is disclosed. The illuminating musical bow may include a light source disposed within a hollow or cavity that is disposed within a transparent or translucent stick of the bow.
