17 results about "Heel-and-toe" patented technology

Heel-and-toe shifting is an advanced driving technique used mostly in performance driving with a manual gearbox, although some drivers use it on the road in everyday conditions in the interest of effectiveness. It involves operating the throttle and brake pedals simultaneously with the right foot, while facilitating normal activation of the clutch with the left foot. It is used when braking and downshifting simultaneously (prior to entering a turn), and allows the driver to "blip" the throttle to raise the engine speed and smoothly engage the lower gear. (See Synchronized transmission.)

A foot decompression device for diabetic foot

This invention belongs to the field of medical device technology and discloses a foot pressure relief device for diabetic foot. It includes a base, a pressure relief plate and a motor connected to the base, and a foot pedal and a transmission assembly connected to the pressure relief plate. The transmission assembly includes a crank, a first connecting rod, and a sliding seat. The crank is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor, and the sliding seat is connected to the pressure relief plate. The two ends of the first connecting rod are respectively connected to the crank and the sliding seat. The sliding seat is connected to a foot rolling shaft and a second connecting rod, and the second connecting rod is connected to a foot massage roller. A buffer spring is provided between the pressure relief plate and the base. The foot pedal has a through groove, and the foot rolling shaft is connected to a foot massage roller. This invention utilizes the foot rolling shaft / foot massage roller and the foot massage roller to simultaneously perform rolling massage on the sole and instep of the foot. The periodic oscillation of the pressure relief plate causes the heel and toes to alternately rise, resulting in good pressure relief for the foot.

Golf driver with axis of rotation aligned performance optimization

PCT designated stageWO2025170966A1Golf clubsRacket sportsRotational axisHeel-and-toe
A golf club head and method of manufacture in which the club head is part of an assembly that turns about a single axis of rotation. This single axis of rotation for the golf club assembly utilizes a different structure to mitigate the effects of off-center impact. The design provides that any weight / mass distribution to preserve moment of inertia and energy transfer for ball speed at impact should be in or as near possible to a plane oriented perpendicular to this axis of rotation. The face curvature shaping and its radii are perpendicular to the axis of rotation to manage gear effect. Mass is added to the club head also on a line perpendicular to the axis of rotation in the heel and toe of the club.
