US Patent:

58511555, Dec 22, 1998

Filed:

Sep 4, 1997

Appl. No.:

8/923546

Inventors:

Donald C. Wood - Carlsbad CA
David W. Means - Carlsbad CA

Assignee:

Zevo Golf Co., Inc. - Temecula CA

International Classification:

A63B 5302

US Classification:

473246

Abstract:

The hosel construction includes a plug member extending downwardly for engaging a club head having a club face. A neck member, extending angularly upwardly from the plug member, engages a shaft to complete a golf club. The neck member extends in a generally transverse dimension to determine a lie angle between the shaft and the club head. The neck member also extends in a generally longitudinal dimension to determine a longitudinal angle, such as a face angle for the club face.

Appl. No.:

9/003073

Inventors:

Donald C. Wood - Carlsbad CA
David W. Means - Carlsbad CA

Assignee:

Zevo Golf Co., Inc. - Temecula CA

International Classification:

A63B 5302

US Classification:

473307

Abstract:

The golf club construction includes a club head, an interchangeable shaft, and a hosel having a hosel bore extending between an open distal end and a closed end, and an alignment arrangement including an element thereof disposed at the closed end. A sleeve secured on the shaft end forms another alignment arrangement element and is adapted to be received within the bore to engage the alignment element therein. A capture mechanism disposed on the shaft engages the hosel at about the open end portion to fix releaseably the shaft relative to the club head.

Appl. No.:

8/591754

Inventors:

Anthony J. de Ruyter - San Diego CA
David W. Means - Carlsbad CA

Assignee:

Cymer Laser Technologies - San Diego CA

International Classification:

H01S 3121

US Classification:

372 14

Abstract:

A shutter mechanism having a slide element coupled to a support base by a plurality of roller bearings journaled between opposing pairs of guide rods is disclosed. The slide element and support base have corresponding beam apertures in alignment when the shutter is in its open position. Angularly mounted on the slide, adjacent to the slide's beam aperture, is a UV reflective mirror. When the shutter is commended to close, an actuator forces the slide and support base apertures out of alignment, while simultaneously positioning the UV reflective mirror into the position previously occupied by the slide's aperture. A laser beam, previously being transmitted through the aligned apertures, will be reflected by the mirror to a beam stop as a diagnostic instrument mounted on the support base.
