Abstract:

An apparatus for enlarging and printing panoramic photographs includes a light source and a negative shuttle having upper and lower parallel plates for securing and enclosing entirely a negative placed therebetween. Interposed between the light source and the negative shuttle is a focusing device for concentrating light emanating from the light source. The three above-described elements are operative to project an image from a negative secured in the negative shuttle in a direction opposite the light source. A lens is supported in an adjustable lens support for magnifying and focusing the image projected from the negative shuttle. Photosensitive material is supported on a supply spool, the photosensitive material being passed to a take-up spool adapted to receive the photosensitive material. A photosensitive material is supported in substantially parallel relation to the negative shuttle and is exposed to the image projected through the lens. The take-up spool, the support spool and the negative shuttle are each provided with a driving device.

Abstract:

A golf bag is provided for supporting and protecting a plurality of golf clubs. The golf bag includes an upper club head support having a plurality of pockets each having one or more shaft-receiving holes formed therein. Each of the pockets is formed to support and protect at least one club head placed therein, whereby a golf club may be inserted shaft first into a pocket, the golf club shaft extending through one of the shaft-receiving holes, the golf club being inserted until the upper part of the club head is supported and protected within the pocket. The golf bag also includes a lower base section for supporting the golf bag and support means extending between and connected to the upper club head support and the lower base section such that the upper club head support may be supported in spaced relation from the lower base section. Extending between and attached to the upper club head support and lower base section is a bag-forming material which forms a cylinder-like interior protected area. Each of the pockets is formed such that each club head supported by the upper club head support is fully protected from contact with any other club head supported thereby.
