Climbing wall assemblies
The present disclosure is directed to climbing wall assemblies having a variety of improvements. For instance, the climbing wall assemblies may include connectors to attach the surface panels to the framework, in which the connectors may be mounted substantially anywhere along the front of the framework and at substantially any angle, providing for the securement of climbing panels in various geometries. The climbing wall assemblies may also include braces that may easily be adjusted to a desired length and configuration during construction of a climbing wall. The climbing wall assemblies may also include variable-angle, integral front posts, which provide for the easy and stable securement of climbing panels in various geometries. These improvements provide climbing wall assemblies that may be easily assembled to produce a desirable climbing wall structure having few framework components.
NOVEL GOLF FLAGSTICK INCORPORATING A MECHANIZED SYSTEM FOR EJECTION OF GOLF BALL FROM THE GOLF HOLE
The present invention comprises a novel golf flagstick which complies with the official rules of golf and consists of a flagstick with a ball ejection cylinder located four feet above ground level. The ball ejection cylinder is lifted by hand or with the shaft or grip of a golf club to eject the golf ball from the golf hole without the need to reach into the hole and without any damage to the sensitive grass turf surrounding the golf hole. In preferred embodiments, the ball ejection cylinder is color coded to provide golfers with an indication of the position of the golf hole on the golf green (red: front, white: middle, blue: rear) and incorporates a reflective strip for easy targeting of the flagstick by commercial laser distance measuring devices. In preferred embodiments, the ball ejection cylinder easily snaps on and off of the flagstick allowing for easy changing of the cylinder color with the daily repositioning of the golf hole on the golf green.
JUMP MAT
A jump map designed for improving exercise technique by addressing the current issues relating to relative movement and placement of the body parts of an individual on the mat and is made of high-density foam that is shock absorbing and waterproof.
EXERCISE BAND, KIT, AND METHOD OF USE THEREOF
An exercise band including a waist band and a resistance band. The waist band is configured to be wrapped around the waist of a user and the resistance band is stretchable between an unstretched position and a stretched position. The waist band is configured to be releasably connected to the resistance band. Further, an exercise kit including a waist band and a number of resistance bands is disclosed. Each resistance bands in the exercise kit requires a different force for stretching the resistance band between the unstretched and stretched positions. Furthermore, a method for a user to exercise is disclosed. The method includes providing an exercise band, wrapping the waist band around the waist of the user, crossing the resistance band, stepping onto a portion of the resistance band, and performing squatting exercises such that the resistance band opposes the user's movement during the squatting exercise.
SPORTING GOODS IDENTIFICATION BAND
An apparatus and method to apply an identification marking patch to the wrist strap of a baseball glove. The invention described here allows for temporary identification and marking on baseball gloves by a removable applicator band that connects to the glove. This results in countless customization options that does not permanently mark a player's name or design on the glove. Aside from changing markings, the user can also remove the applicator entirely, thus bringing the glove back to its original state without compromising the leather.
Pegboard, rehabilitation training system, and rehabilitation training method
A pegboard of the present disclosure includes: a main device including multiple unit modules; a board plate including multiple receiving portions; and multiple pegs to be inserted into the multiple receiving portions, and the multiple unit modules include multiple sensor modules configured to sense whether the multiple pegs are inserted into the multiple receiving portions and multiple light source modules configured to output light to the multiple receiving portions.
GARMENT WITH VISUAL INDICIA
A garment includes: a plurality of distinct regions, each region corresponding to a body part or type of body part of a wearer when worn; and a plurality of visual indicia, each of the visual indicia having at least one unique visual characteristic. Each of the plurality of visual indicia is located at a corresponding one of the plurality of distinct regions. At least one secondary visual characteristic of each of the indicia is associated with the corresponding distinct region.
EXERCISE MAT WITH TEXTURED INSERTS
An exercise mat comprising: a base layer; a top layer comprising at least one pre-determined removable mat layer section; and at least one textured insert adapted for insertion into a gap in said top layer, wherein said gap is defined by the removal of said at least an one pre-determined removable mat layer section; wherein said at least one textured insert provides for a tactile sensation when a user applies pressure thereonto.
GOLF CLUB HEADS AND METHODS TO MANUFACTURE GOLF CLUB HEADS
Embodiments of golf club heads and methods to manufacture golf club heads are generally described herein. In one example, a golf club head may include a body portion with an interior cavity and face portion, and weight portion and a wall portion on a bottom portion of the body portion extending into the interior cavity. A polymer material may be in the interior cavity located between and coupled to the wall portion and the weight portion. The wall portion may be farther from the face portion than to the weight portion. The weight portion may be closer to a front portion than to a rear portion of the body portion. A distance between the weight portion and the face portion may be greater than a distance between the weight portion and the wall portion. Other examples and embodiments may be described and claimed.
Interactive floor and amusement systems and methods employing same
An amusement system features an interactive floor with an array of panels laid out in one or more grids to collectively define an interactive floor surface, an illumination system operable to individually illuminate each panel, and a sensing system operable to detect presence of any participant atop any panel. A base frame of the interactive floor is composed of a plurality of base modules seated on a subfloor, and supporting a respective panel for one or more cells of the interactive floor. The base modules are not directly fastened together, and instead are only intercoupled by perimeter seals applied over peripheral regions of the panels of neighbouring modules. Separation of the modules is constrained by surrounding walls of a room fully occupied by the interactive floor. In gameplay, some panels are distinctively illuminated as hazards to be avoided by participants, subject to penalty.
