A golf swing training aid comprised of a crossbar and a pair of golf grips attached to the outboard end of the crossbar. A socket in the crossbar is constructed to receive the shaft of a standard golf club. A hinged clamp with a thumbscrew allows the crossbar with the grips to be easily and quickly attached or detached from any standard golf club. The golf grips on the crossbar are about two inches shorter than the grips on the club to permit the club to be swung with the golf club grips or the outboard grips with the golf swing training aid attached. Optionally, a pointer can be attached to the training aid and the outboard golf grips can be foldable or detachable for storing the golf swing training aid in a golf bag.

A carrier having special utility for transporting recreational vehicles such as motorcycles, bicycles and snowmobiles is designed to be used either as an independent towable trailer or, with or without such vehicles carried thereon, to be removably coupled to a towable travel trailer. This carrier includes a V frame structure having a hitch ball coupling at the apex for detachable connection to a towing vehicle and opposed wheel assemblies capable of quick and easy adjustment to be either in or out of ground engagement or, if desired, completely removed when not required. The diverging members of the carrier frame are designed to embrace and be detachably secured to a conventional tongue with a hitch ball coupling on a travel trailer, and a hitch ball is suitably mounted intermediate the diverging members of the carrier frame for registration with the standard hitch ball coupling on the trailer tongue. The wheels are in ground engagement when the carrier is not attached to a travel trailer and when it is attached to such a trailer, the wheels can be selectively placed out of ground engagement or completely removed. The carrier includes a support rack for articles to be transported and a loading ramp for the same movable to and from a loading position.

A transmission control for a motor vehicle includes a valve and a spool mounted in the valve biased to extend therefrom. A spool actuator member controls extension of the spool from the valve. A spool control member is connected to move in response to movement of an operator control. An adjustable engaging member on the spool control member moves a predetermined distance free of forced engagement with the spool actuator. Subsequently the engaging member engages and moves the spool actuating member.

Transmission control

A linkage assembly coupled between a pedal, rotatable from a neutral position in either of two directions, and a transmission and a carburetor or fuel injector. The linkage assembly includes a crank rotatable in either of two directions in response to the rotation of the pedal from the neutral position and a pair of arcuate links connected between the crank and a control rod which moves in a single direction in response to movement of the crank in either direction, the carburetor increasing the speed of a vehicle engine as the rod moves in the single direction. The assembly also includes other linkage which controls the transmission to shift the vehicle either into forward or reverse drive, depending on the direction of movement of the pedal from the neutral position, at various drive ratios.
