US Classification:

473407, 473404

Abstract:

An accurate putter device comprises a frame having a pair of blinds slidable within an aperture in the frame. A thumb dial mounted on each side of the frame controls a particular blind to narrow the golfer's line of sign through the aperture so that the golfer may line-up the putt and read the grade or angle of the green towards the hole. The thumb dials are coupled to the threads running through the blinds to move the blinds to and fro along tracks in the frame to line-up the ball with respect to the hole.

Abstract:

Soluble and stable liquid compositions containing a plant growth regulator selected from the group consisting of cytokinin and a gibberellin, an acid solubilizer such as citric acid, tartaric acid or glycolic acid and a solvent; as well as methods for making and using the composition are disclosed. The compositions improve solubility, handling, stability, safety, as well as activity improvements such as improved plant growth, yield, fruit thinning or sizing and quality. The compositions are soluble and stable by adding an ethoxylated alkyl alcohol wherein the growth regulator is 6-benzyladenine (6-BA) or forchlorfenuron (CPPU) and the ethoxylated alcohol surfactant is Calkyl alcohol in propylene glycol. The compositions may also contain a cytokinin such as 6-benzyladenine (6-BA) or forchlorfenuron (CPPU) that is increased in solubility and activity and by synergistically combined with GAor GAAas well as in storage stability by adding an antioxidant. The compositions are formulated in a ready-to-mix formulation.
