International Classification:

F16G 11/00

US Classification:

24115R, 24129 R, 24339, 24336

Abstract:

A cable organizer having a centerpiece, a first loop portion, and a second loop portion is provided. The first loop portion defines a first bore adapted to receive at least one cable therein. It also includes a first end that abuts a first side of the centerpiece to close the first bore. This first end is deflectable for radial insertion of the at least one cable winding within the first bore. The second loop portion defines a second bore for at least one cable winding. The second loop portion includes a second end that abuts a second side of the centerpiece to close the second bore. This second end is also deflectable for radial insertion of the at least one cable winding within the bore. The first and second sides of the centerpiece oppose each other. The centerpiece prevents torsional opening of the first and second bores.

Inventors:

Brian Judd - Campbell CA, US

International Classification:

G10D 13/02

US Classification:

084422400

Abstract:

A device is provided for dampening the impact vibration of elongated manual tools that have a handle, such as drumsticks and hammers. The device includes means for dampening the vibration caused when striking tool onto a hard surface, and means for removably joining the dampening means to the end of the tool's handle. Some embodiments further include means for standing off the dampening means from being fully applied onto the end of the tool's handle. In many applications, embodiments of the present dampening device help reduce fatigue and injury due to impact vibrations being transmitting to the user.

International Classification:

G10D 3/16

US Classification:

084320000

Abstract:

A flexible guitar pick is provided, wherein there is a cutout section that traverses the center of the pick to create a hinge point at each side of the pick allowing the pick to have extreme flexibility when strumming. Furthermore by choking up on the pick with the players' finger the forward half of the pick can be used to employ the full rigidity of the front portion of the pick.
