A power control system includes a base having a housing configured for releasably receiving a control unit and a cavity within the housing for receiving a solid state relay having a hockey puck configuration. The base includes an input power terminal for coupling to an input power source, an output power terminal for coupling to a power receiving load, and coupling fixtures for fixedly and electrically coupling to input and output power terminals and control terminals of the received solid state relay. A control unit is configured to control the solid state relay for selectively providing, at least a portion of, the power received at the input power terminal to the output power terminal. The control unit has a housing adapted to be releasably coupled to the base housing. The control unit and base each configured to electrically couple the control unit to the control terminals of the received solid state relay as a function of the control unit being coupled to the base.

A hockey stick comprises a shaft and a blade. The blade is configured to impact and exert energy on a hockey puck. The blade comprises a core that is generally enclosed within an outer layer. The core comprises a foam-filled cell structure having cell walls that define foam-filled cells. The cell walls of the core structure extend in a direction generally from the front face toward the rear face of the hockey stick blade.

An apparatus is provided that allows individuals of diverse skill levels to improve their respective sports-related swings. The apparatus provides visual, auditory and tactile feedback as to whether an individual is correctly “loading”, “retaining”, and “releasing” the inherent power of the training apparatus. The training apparatus enables an individual to fine tune his / her swing to maximize power delivery, e.g., in driving a golf ball, striking a hockey puck, or hitting a baseball. A slidable member is provided that moves along a shaft between an upper member and a lower member. A retaining mechanism restrains the slidable member in a cocked position, i.e., in juxtaposition with the upper member, until a predetermined force is created through swinging of the shaft.

A method and system for improving the effectiveness of coaches and video game designers for games like soccer, American football, basketball, lacrosse or ice hockey by using RF technology and software. A base station is equipped with a computer programmed with algorithms to track the players and game equipment and thereby produce data of interest to a coach or game designer.

A storage container convertible to a permanently closed object has a receptacle with an outside surface corresponding to the partial exterior of a closed object; and with an interior surface defining a storage chamber. A lid covers the entry opening and thereby closes the storage chamber, the lid having an outside surface corresponding to the remaining exterior of the closed object. The receptacle and lid together define releasable engagement structure for removably securing the lid on the receptacle, wherein the lid may be removed to place and remove items from the storage chamber, the releasable engagement structure incrementally spacing the outside surfaces corresponding to the partial and remaining exterior of the closed object. The receptacle and lid further define the snap-fit securing structure for permanently securing the lid on the receptacle with the outside surfaces corresponding to the partial and remaining exteriors of the closed object co-joined. The closed object may have the shape of an object of play, e.g. a hockey puck. The releasable engagement structure may be cooperative threads on a bayonet-type engagement. The snap-fit engagement is a flange received in a groove.

A target for practicing aiming sport or game projectiles, such as balls, hockey pucks, arrows, etc., is formed of a large, flexible sheet whose upper edge is temporarily secured to the lower edge of a conventional garage door when the door is lowered. The sheet is deployed to cover the garage door opening when the door is raised into open position. The sheet contains target markings which may include holes in the sheet for receiving propelled projectiles aimed at the target sheet. The target holes may be backed by pockets which receive and temporarily hold the projectiles which pass through the respective openings. The target holes may be normally covered by retractable flaps.

An apparatus and method for resurfacing ice surfaces such as ice hockey playing surfaces wherein an ice shaving blade system and an ice scooping system operate over the entire width of (or the entire length of) said playing surface.

Disclosed is a single unit crematory urn in the shape of a sports article wherein cremated remains of humans or pets are disposed within the sports shaped article. The article can be, for example, in the shape of a basketball, football, baseball, baseball bat, baseball glove, hockey puck, hockey stick, bowling ball, bowling pin, and the like. Any sports article having a hollow center is suitable for this invention. A base is optionally utilized to secure the bottom of the sports shaped article and retain in an upright position. The article is a replica constructed out of substantially rigid polymeric material. The article may optionally be covered with a clear case to protect from the environment. The single unit has an opening, and removable closure, to allow the cremated remains to be placed therewithin. The unit may be constructed for holding the cremated remains of one or more human or pets.
