Barbell Lock Collar
The present example provides a barbell lock collar that installs axially on a barbell bar. Axially directed pressure on the barbell lock collar causes curved shoes on the interior of the barbell lock collar to engage or disengage through radial motion of the curved shoes. Axial motion also causes a visual indicator to show if the barbell lock collar is engaged or disengaged, as little force is required to operate the barbell lock collar.
Bag toss game board with score tracking
A game board for playing a bag toss game and methods for playing and scoring the same are provided. A playing surface includes a hole located at a distal half thereof and sized to receive a bag tossed therethrough. A leg located at a distal half of the game board permits angling the playing surface relative to a ground surface. A scoring indicator is selectively attachable to a number of attachment mechanism provided at a series of locations along the playing surface. Scoring lines are provided at the game board in association with the attachment mechanism so that the scoring indicator may be secured adjacent to one of the scoring lines to indicate a current score of the bag toss game.
Adjustable Height Golf Cup
A golf cup device that can be easily removed and replaced at a desired height or elevation relative to surrounding turf includes an outer sleeve and an inner cup assembly that slides into the outer sleeve. A height adjustment mechanism connects the inner cup assembly to the outer sleeve, allowing a user to mount the inner cup assembly at various heights/elevations relative to the outer sleeve. This allows the outer sleeve to be initially buried within the ground and then the inner cup assembly to be positioned within the installed outer sleeve.
Golf club head with adjustable fitting mechanisms
Embodiments of golf clubs with adjustable loft, lie, head mass and methods of manufacturing golf clubs with adjustable loft, lie, and head mass are generally described herein. Other embodiments can be described and claimed.
CONTROL SYSTEM FOR A REHABILITATION AND EXERCISE ELECTROMECHANICAL DEVICE
An electromechanical device for rehabilitation includes pedals coupled to radially-adjustable couplings, an electric motor coupled to the pedals via the radially-adjustable couplings, and a control system including a processing device operatively coupled to the electric motor. The processing device configured to, responsive to a first trigger condition occurring, control the electric motor to operate in a passive mode by independently driving the radially-adjustable couplings rotationally coupled to the pedals. The processing device also configured to, responsive to a second trigger condition occurring, control the electric motor to operate in an active-assisted mode by measuring revolutions per minute of the radially-adjustable couplings, and cause the electric motor to drive the radially-adjustable couplings when the measured revolutions per minute satisfy a threshold condition, and responsive to a third trigger condition occurring, control the electric motor to operate in a resistive mode by providing resistance to rotation of the radially-adjustable couplings.
LOCATION-ENABLED PORTABLE AUDIO SYSTEM
Audio systems and methods for obtaining location information are disclosed. A portable, wireless speaker that may include a beacon that a user may activate to remotely trigger a request for shot information, which may include location information of the user or speaker. The beacon may be wirelessly coupled to the speaker. The speaker may receive location information from a remote device, such as a GPS-enabled mobile phone. The shot information may be converted into an audio format for playback by the speaker. The speaker may pause the playback of the speaker to play out the shot information.
A GAME APPARATUS
This disclosure relates to a game apparatus including a housing, a motion measurement arrangement and a flexible tether. The motion measurement arrangement is at least partially located within the housing and includes a multi-axis pivot member movable relative to the housing in at least two axes. The motion measurement arrangement also includes a sensor arrangement for measuring multi-axis movement of the pivot member. The flexible tether has a free end coupled to a strikable object and a proximal end coupled to the pivot member. The motion measurement arrangement is configured to measure an indication of one or more parameters of the strikable object's motion upon striking of the strikable object by a user.
ELECTRONIC GOLFING ALIGNMENT AID AND CORRESPONDING METHOD
A system for correcting alignment of a golf club is provided. The golf club includes a shaft, a golf club head mounted on a first end of the shaft, a camera embedded in the golf club head. A display module is adapted to display at least a partial view of the camera. Substantial alignment of a face of the golf club head with a target location will be observable in the display as substantial alignment between the target location with an alignment guide. Misalignment of a face of the golf club head with the target location will be observable in the display as a misalignment between the target location with the alignment guide, for which a position of the golf club can be adjusted to bring the face of the golf club head into substantial alignment with the target location.
STRENGTH TRAINING MACHINE
A strength training machine includes a first bracket, a second bracket and a first connection assembly, in which a cavity of a first end of the first bracket and a cavity of a first end of the second bracket are provided with a counterweight mechanism, a bottom of the first end of the first bracket and a bottom of the first end of the second bracket are provided with a first sliding pad or wheels, and at least two foot pads, a side wall of the first end of the first bracket and a side wall of the first end of the second bracket are provided with a second sliding pad or wheels; the first connection assembly includes a connection handle, a second end of the first bracket and a second end of the second bracket are connected through the connection handle.
LOW FRICTION REHABILITATION BOARD WITH AN INTEGRAL BAND RETAINING FEATURE AND METHODS OF REHABILITATION
A low friction rehabilitation board having an integral band retaining feature is described. The rehabilitation board may have a coefficient of static friction of no more than about 0.5 and in some embodiments no more than about 0.06. The rehabilitation board has a plurality of band retaining feature configured along one or both ends and may be an integral band retaining features being formed in the board. Additionally, the rehabilitation may include one or more band retaining features on one or both sides of the board. The unique configuration of the band retaining features enables rehabilitation method heretofore not possible with a single board. Resistance bands may be retained in the band retaining features and coupled to a user's limb, such as a foot or ankle, to resist motion, such as sliding or extending the foot along the low friction surface of the rehabilitation board.
