A golf club includes a tubular shaft, a golf club head affixed to a first end of the tubular shaft, and a grip abutting a second end of the shaft. The golf club further includes an adjustable counterbalance that is insertable within a hollow recess of the grip. The adjustable counter balance includes an elongate member adapted to be secured to the tubular shaft, and a movable weight. The movable weight is selectively transitionable between a first, unlocked state that permits translation of the weight along the elongate member, and a second locked state that restrains the weight from free translation.

Golf putter with adjustable counterbalance weight

A golf club includes a tubular shaft, a golf club head affixed to a first end of the shaft, and a grip disposed about a second end of the shaft. The golf club head is a putter head having a loft angle of from about 0 degrees to about 6 degrees and a mass of from about 360 grams to about 400 grams. A movable weight is disposed within a hollow recess of the shaft and within a grip portion of the club. The movable weight is configured to be selectively repositionable within the grip portion by a user, and has a mass of from about 60 grams to about 80 grams.

A golf club includes a tubular shaft, a golf club head affixed to a first end of the tubular shaft, and a grip disposed about the tubular shaft and abutting a second end of the tubular shaft. An adjustable counterbalance extends within a hollow recess of the shaft and is selectively secured to the second end. The adjustable counterbalance includes an elongate member and an annular weight disposed about the elongate member. The annular weight is movable along the elongate member and configured to be selectively affixed to the elongate member.

An animal stanchion having fixed stanchion structure and a pivotal release stanchion laterally spaced apart to define a head opening. The animal stanchion further comprises an upper top control rail which is configured to interact with a latch to selectively hold and release various portions of the pivot rod from connection with the latch. This device further comprises a plurality of individual locking brackets which are configured to interact with handle catch devices so as to hold various devices within their designated location within the device.

Animal stanchion with selectively releasable feature

A livestock free stall is provided, having a pair of vertically oriented posts held in fixed spaced relationship. Each of the posts has attached thereto in parallel spaced relationship upper and lower receiver tubes or posts with the receiver tubes or posts of each stanchion oriented in parallel spaced relationship to the corresponding upper and lower receiver tubes or posts of the other stanchions. A pair of rail loops, each having upper and lower ends, are then configured and sized for insertion into the upper and lower receiver tubes, or for receiving the upper and lower receiver posts, is then attached and fastened to the stanchion. A top rail interconnects the posts to form the completed free stall assembly.

Livestock free stall and method for making the same

A stanchion bumper is provided for use with a cattle stanchion having a head opening typically defined by a stationary, vertically-oriented stanchion and a pivotal release stanchion which, when tilted in one direction, enlarges the upper part of the opening so that the animal can insert its head through the opening, a closed position where the pivotal stanchion is vertical and defines a head opening through which an animal cannot withdraw its head, and a downed animal position wherein an enlarged lower opening exists so that a downed animal can withdraw its head. The stanchion bumper is positioned below the pivot point of the release stanchion, such that the lower portion of the release stanchion will engage the stanchion bumper when the animal inadvertently moves the release stanchion past the closed position toward the downed animal position.

Animal safety stanchion with stanchion bumper

An animal stanchion having fixed stanchion structure and a pivotal release stanchion laterally spaced apart to define a head opening and a latching mechanism which includes a first latch coupler attached to the fixed stanchion structure for receiving and releasably holding a second latch coupler and a control rod mounted adjacent to the first latch coupler for rotatable positioning to a first position to make contact with the second latch coupler at any point along the control rod's longitudinal axis to release it and to rotate to a second position to permit engagement of the second latch coupler with the first latch coupler.

Animal safety stanchion

A double hinged cattle stanchion (10) is disclosed and includes a pair of release stanchions, a 'J' shaped fulcrum stanchion (15) and a release stanchion (14), both of which are pivotally attached between a pair of fixed stanchions (13). Fixed stanchions (13) are attached in upright pairs between a horizontally extending top rail (11) and a horizontally extending bottom rail (12). Fulcrum stanchion (15) includes a main elongated portion and a perpendicularly depending leg member. A fulcrum offset member (16) is perpendicularly attached at a midpoint along the main elongated portion and includes a fulcrum bracket (17) at its extending end. Fulcrum bracket (17) provides a pivotal attachment point for release stanchion (14) via a standard pivot bolt (18). The extending end of the depending leg portion of fulcrum stanchion (15) is pivotally attached to a base bracket (20) located between a pair of fixed stanchions (13) on bottom rail member (12). First and second stanchion heads (28) and (29) are attached to the upper ends of fulcrum stanchion (15) and release stanchion (14) respectively. Each stanchion head includes a pivotally elongated latch member being disposed to engage actuator rod (21) which is rotatably and axially attached along top rail (11).

Double hinged cattle stanchion apparatus

A safety release apparatus 10 for use with a cattle stanchion apparatus 11 which includes a top cover plate 30 having side plates 27 depending perpendicularly therefrom and attached to top end of release stanchion 17 and further enclosing top rail 12 and stanchion actuator 20. Stop dog 24 and catch tang 25 are pivotally attached to side walls 27 via dog and tang bolt 26 and engage couplers 21 which are radially attached to stanchion actuator 20. Stop dog 24 has a pair of grab walls 32 depending perpendicularly therefrom to facilitate the disengaging of stop dog 24 with coupler 21 by the cattle stanchion operator. Cover plate 30 in connection with side plates 27 present a safe grab hold for the hand of the stanchion operator while disengaging stop dog 24, or catch tang 25, with coupler 21.
