Abstract:
Disclosed is a self-contained device and method for improving a practicing golfer's swing which is brought about by the movement and action of an elongated headpiece subassembly which is positioned at the side or temporal areas of a practicing golfer's head and withdrawn when there is premature movement or glancing away from one's eye on the golf ball being hit prior to striking the golf ball in the practicing shot, or pulled away when the golf ball is struck without moving one's head or eyes prior to making the shot and proceeding with follow-through. In related preferred models of the invention a ground support subassembly assembly is used to vertically support the headpiece subassembly, and acts to define an area where the golf ball is placed for the practicing shot; and further provides a warning method when a right-handed or left-handed practicing golfer strays too far to the left or right, respectively in follow-through of a practicing shot.

Claim (Index 15):
A headpiece device and system for fitting on the a first side temple area and a second side temple area of a head of a practicing golfer and improving a golf swing of the practicing golfer with a golf club by responding to movement of the head of the practicing golfer during the golf swing by moving away from the first side temple area and a second side temple area of the head of the practicing golfer, the headpiece device and system comprising:\n an outside base comprising first and second ends and a periphery wall, the outside base defining an installation channel within the periphery wall, and a slide groove along a portion of the periphery wall which extends to the second end of the outside base; an inside slide, having first and second ends, being securely and slideably mounted within the installation channel of the outside base so that the first end of the inside slide can securely move and extend a portion of its length a linear longitudinal and horizontal dimension y, along a y-axis beyond the first end of the outside base, along axis line y within lines x, y and z within and as a part of a three-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system in relation to a standing, practicing golfer, who is positioned for a practicing golf shot and functions within the three-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system, and a slide stop member attached to the second end of the inside slide, the slide stop member having an extended end which is spaced from the inside slide; a dual support, securely attached to the first end of the inside slide, for extension beyond the first end of the outside base the linear longitudinal and horizontal dimension y, the dual support, having at least a first side and a second side, and defining a support opening extending throughout the first side and the second side of the dual support, the support opening securely receiving and supporting at least one cross support member extending throughout the first side and the second side of the dual support, and thereby defining a first portion of the at least one cross support member extending from the first side of the dual support and a second portion of the at least one cross support member extending from the second side of the dual support, a first temple having elongated first and second ends, being securely but pivotably attached to the first portion of the cross support member, and a second temple having elongated first and second ends, being securely but pivotably attached to the second portion of the cross support member, for extending to rest on the temple areas of the practicing golfer for said fitting on the first side temple area and a second side temple area of the head of the practicing golfer, the second end of the first temple having connected to it a cable shaft, and the second end of the second temple having connected to it a cable shaft; a trigger spring, having first and second ends, the trigger spring being attached at its first end on the dual support, and at its second end on the outside base, for providing biasing tension when the inside slide is extended the linear dimension y from the outside base, along axis line y within lines x, y and z within and as a part of a three-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system in relation to a standing, practicing golfer, who is positioned for a practicing golf shot and functions within the three-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system; a trigger having elongated first and second ends, the trigger being securely and pivotably attached to the outside base, the first end of the trigger defining a catch-notch for releasable connection with the slide stop member, and a cable member having first and second ends, the first end of the cable member being securely connected to the second end of the trigger and the second end of the cable member being bifurcated and defining a first bifurcated end and a second bifurcated end, the first bifurcated end being securely attached to the cable shaft of the second end of the first temple and the second bifurcated end being attached to the cable shaft of the second end of the second temple; and a reception base, the reception base being securely attached to the outside base along the periphery wall thereof for linear horizontal support of the outside base, the reception base defining a receiving hole; and wherein when the inside slide is extended the linear longitudinal and horizontal dimension y, the slide stop member is releasably secured with the catch-notch of the trigger when in a set position for use by the practicing golfer; and further comprising a ground support subassembly, the ground support subassembly comprising: a first ground wall, having first and second ends, a second ground wall, a third ground wall, having first and second ends and a middle portion, a fourth ground wall, the first ground wall, the second ground wall, the third ground wall and the fourth ground wall being securely connected together such that a rectangular or square middle portion is defined and formed when the connected walls are placed flat on the ground, the first ground wall and the third ground wall being positioned in a spaced and parallel position with each other; the first ground wall having a ground shaft installation member, the ground shaft installation member having first and second ends, and defining a vertical support shaft installation hole within the first end of the ground shaft installation member; a vertical shaft, the vertical shaft having first and second ends, the first end being securely positioned within the receiving hole of the reception base, the second end of the vertical shaft being securely positioned within the vertical support shaft installation hole of the ground shaft installation member; the first ground wall having a first wheel and a second wheel, the first wheel being securely and rotatably mounted on the first end of the first ground wall, and the second wheel being securely and rotatably mounted on the second end of the first ground wall; the middle portion of the third ground wall having a core member securely and adjustably supported above the third ground wall, the core member slidably and adjustably receiving and supporting a guidance member, the guidance member extending above and beyond the third ground wall for providing an alert barrier when it is struck by a golf club which is swung in a non-straight and inaccurate manner by the practicing golfer; and wherein, if the practicing golfer moves their head prior to making the practicing golf shot this causing one or both of the first temple member and the second temple member to pivot and activate the cable member to actuate the trigger and cause the stop member to release from the catch-notch of the trigger causing the temple members of said headpiece device and system to pull away from the practicing golfer prior to making the practicing golf shot; and wherein, if the practicing golfer does not move their head prior to making the practicing golf shot, the first temple member and the second temple member do not pull away from the head of the practicing golfer until final follow-through with the golf club is made during completion of the practicing golf shot, after contact is made with the golf ball by the golf club.
