Title: Golf glove for right grip and suitable swing
Inventor: KIM JEONG YONG
IPC: A63B71/14
Filed: 2009-05-20
Abstract: The present invention is a golf club which induces proper grip and suitable swing by removing the thumb-covering portion of a golf glove so as to extend the Skin Contact Length between the thumb and forefinger. Due to the absence of a thumb covering, structural problems with the glove covering stretching from the thumb area toward the palm may arise when centrifugal force is imparted by the golf club. If the glove covering has been stretched, the covering will become folded when the club is gripped; this causes a pull on the left thumb when gloves are worn and leads to improper grip. Therefore, in order to provide elasticity with regard to stretching, in place of sheepskin the area subject to stretching is processed with a Spandex material having excellent elasticity and flexibility.

Abstract: 549,907. Optical sound-reproducing apparatus. KODAK, Ltd. Aug. 13, 1941, No. 10301. Convention date, Oct. 18, 1940. [Class 40 (ii)] For permitting the frequency output from optical sound-reproducing apparatus to be controlled, the optical system directing a narrow scanning beam from a light source to a sound film for transmission therethrough or reflection therefrom is made adjustable along its optic axis between two extreme stop positions so located that the degree of light modulation at the higher frequencies can be continuously decreased from one stop position to the other due to the gradual increase of the width of the scanning beam where it strikes the sound track. The arrangement may conveniently be such that in one extreme stop position the focus of the light beam is on the front surface of the film, and in the other position the focus is on the rear surface'of the film. In the arrangement shown, the optical system 2, which may be as described in Specification 506,965, [Group XX], is guided longitudinally between a lamp 4 and the film 6 on a bracket 9, 10 by pins 8 and springs 11, 13.

Abstract: 1300058 Liquid measuring devices J H GAUNTLETT 26 Feb 1970 [26 Feb 1969] 10410/69 Heading B8N  A measuring device of the syphon type for dispensing liquid from containers comprises an outlet tube g, a syphon bell f with an aperture i, and at least one passage k for admitting air into a measuring chamber which is defined by a wall a of the device or in part by a wall portion of a container on which the device is mounted. The or each passage k over at least part of its length is substantially parallel with the outlet tube g. Inversion of container or bottle c will cause liquid to flow via opening d into the measuring chamber with the liquid flowing from the bottle being replaced by air passing into the bottle via the aperture i. When the liquid overflows the upper end of the tube g air flow into the bottle will stop and thus liquid flow into the measuring chamber will be terminated. Outflow of liquid from the measuring chamber will continue until the syphon action is ended. Figs. 5 and 6, 14-17 and 27 illustrate alternative forms of the device. In each form the tube g may be integral with part j or may be axially adjustable or replaceable by a different length tube so as to vary quantity of liquid dispensed. The device may include closure caps l as illustrated in Figs. 6 and 17. Alternatively as illustrated in Figs. 14 and 15 the cap l is rotatable between an open position in which openings p, p 1  in the cap register with tube g and passage k respectively, and a closed position in which projections o, o 1  extend into the tube g and passage k respectively. In Fig. 27 rotation of member m in one direction causes part w to extend into and block the outlet end of the tube g. The cap may also be a snap closure, cam release cap (Figs. 50, 51, not shown). The inlet d may comprise a labyrinth (Fig. 50, not shown). The Fig. 5 arrangement may be attached to a bottle by means other than the screw arrangement shown. For example attachment may be by means of a cork plug attached to the device. The part j may be provided with a removable plug, or rupturable means to facilitate draining of the bottle. A one-way gravity operated valve may also be provided for permitting drainage of the measuring chamber when the device is returned after dispensing to an inoperative position.
