| 101 | Hand held electronic game with sensors for realistic simulation | US09494249 | 2000-01-31 | US06273819B1 | 2001-08-14 | Kathryn Strauss; Eric Chiang; Brian Ng; Isaac Lee; Zhou Hui Bao; Steve Bristow; David Wirt |
| A hand held electronic game having sensors requiring the user to perform functions similar to those required during the activity simulated by the game. In a hand held electronic bowling game, both finger-movement sensors and game-moving sensors require the user to grip and swing the game housing much like swinging a bowling ball while finger-receiving sensors measure movement in the fingers and game housing-movement sensors measure the forcefulness and speed of the user's swing with the ball. The sensors include printed circuit boards and the game-moving sensor can utilize a LED and a photodiode along with a periodically transparent extension, which moves between the LED and the photodiode to determine the force of the swing by centrifugal force. | ||||||
| 102 | Head gear for detecting head motion and providing an indication of head movement | US337007 | 1999-06-28 | US6048324A | 2000-04-11 | Roger David Socci; Robert Leslie Wakenight |
| Apparatus and method for using head gear to sense the motion of the wearer's head and output a signal indicative of the motion. Sensors are used to detect head motion about two mutually perpendicular axes. The sensor signal is fed into a microprocessor to compute a feedback signal indicative of the deviation of the motion from a desired, pre-programmed path. The feedback signal is delivered to an indicator to alert the wearer of the head motion. The device is adaptable to monitor head motions for various athletic, sporting and safety applications. | ||||||
| 103 | Adjustable hinged bowling wrist support | US165019 | 1994-03-03 | US5466192A | 1995-11-14 | Rodrigo L. Castolo; Thomas S. Castillo |
| It's a movable bowling wrist device that is secured to the back of the hand and forearm by means of straps and it consists of four main structural parts made of stainless steel. The hand portion with all its finger extensions and forearm portion are connected together by a wing type structure with an attachment of an adjustable stopping mechanism on top. The hand portion with all its finger extensions is indefinitely moving vertically perpendicular to the wing part from which it is connected can be indefinitely adjusted from left to right or vice versa on a horizontal plane on which it is attach to the forearm portion can be place in a locking position by a swiveling lock. The adjustable stopping mechanism stops the hand portion with all its finger extensions on a backward movement thus producing an angle perpendicular to the forearm portion. Thus the angle formed is not constant, it is merely restricted or limited in a position by the backward movement of the hand portion with all its finger extensions, an indefinite forward motion of the hand will automatically unrestrict the restricted angle formed and a greater angle will be taken into action. And the indefinite foward motion of the hand portion with all its finger extensions, can help the bowler cupp and uncupp, push to create additional or lesser rotation and revolution, from the restricted angle produced, to the ball freely without limitations during delivery and point of release. | ||||||
| 104 | Sports training system and method | US644084 | 1991-01-22 | US5221088A | 1993-06-22 | Michael H. McTeigue; Art Zias |
| A sports training aid has a pair of foot sensors, insertable in a pair of shoes, which generate measurement signals indicative of weight applied to each of the foot sensors. The training aid compares the measurement signals with a specified range of values and produces audible sounds indicative of the relationship between those measurement signals and the specified range of values, thereby providing the training aid's user with immediate audible feedback regarding weight shifts. A grip sensing version of the sports training aid uses a grip pressure sensor which generates a measurement signal indicative of grip pressure applied to the handle of a swingable object, such as a golf club or baseball bat. When the user's grip pressure falls outside specified threshold values, audible tones are generated. In both versions, the user receives the audible feedback signals via a headset worn while using the sports training aid. A spinal tilt version is used to train a person to maintain proper spinal tilt during a sports motion, and a shoulder rotation is used to train a person to achieve a proper degree of shoulder rotation during a sports motion such as the golf backswing. In each version, the sensor(s) include a transmitter which transmits the measurement signals at a predefined frequency. The transmitted measurement signals are received by a comparator which compares the received signals with the specified range of values. As a result, the sensors and comparator need not be physically connected. | ||||||

| 109 | Bowling glove | US751009 | 1985-07-02 | US4618147A | 1986-10-21 | Bruce Hurd; Robert Oda |
| A bowler's adjustable wrist brace is made into a glove-like configuration. The brace enables the bowler to quickly and conveniently lock his wrist at various desired angles in order to control the "hook" or sidespin of the bowling ball. Bowling alley lane conditions vary. Even varying amounts of oil applied to the same lane can result in different paths for the same ball throw. This brace enables the bowler to adjust his wrist position for different lane conditions. Additionally, the bowler may achieve a different amount of hook on the same alley for various shots by simply adjusting a lever. A calibrated wrist angle indicator enables the bowler to repeat various desirable wrist positions for his different shots. | ||||||

| 112 | Spare bowling computer for spot bowlers | US393191 | 1982-06-28 | US4415327A | 1983-11-15 | Floyd H. Green |
| A computer device for assisting spot bowlers to determine starting position and direction in which to bowl a ball to collide with a predetermined pin or group of pins, comprising two coextensive, rectangular members. On one member, a representation of a bowling lane with appropriate markings is obversely displayed. The other member is transparent and contains a bowling ball indicator that is concentric with the five-pin location spot when the two members are aligned. The invention is calibrated by aligning the two members and for a strike ball tracing a straight line from the starting position of the proper foot to the target over which the ball passes on the transparent member. By adjusting the relative positions of the two members such that the bowling ball indicator approaches the required pin from the appropriate direction, a spot bowler by noting the location and direction of the calibration line will be aided in choosing a starting position and a spot at which to aim the ball in attempting to pick up a spare. | ||||||
