  • Patent number: 8297155
    Abstract: A wrench includes a handle having first and second ends spaced along a longitudinal axis. The second end of the handle includes a receptacle extending in a radial direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The handle further includes an annular groove intermediate the first and second ends along the longitudinal axis. The second end of the handle is slideably received in an extension. A positioning hole extends from an inner periphery through an outer periphery of the extension. A positioning member is mounted in the receptacle and biased by a spring to extend through the positioning hole, with a portion of the positioning member pressing against the inner periphery of the extension. A resilient retaining member is mounted in the annular groove. An exposed portion of the retaining member outside of the annular groove presses against the inner periphery of the extension when the extension is engaged with the handle.

  • Patent number: 8297154
    Abstract: A combination wrench includes a shank, a first driving member mounted on a first end of the shank, and a second driving member mounted on a second end of the shank. The shank has different cross-sectional profiles and areas from the first driving member to the second driving member so that the shank has different thickness from the first driving member to the second driving member so as to correspond to different forces. Thus, the mediate portion of the shank has a uniform thickness and has greater strength and torque so as to withstand a larger force so that when a stress is concentrated on the mediate portion of the shank, the mediate portion of the shank can tolerate the stress, thereby preventing the shank from being deformed or broken due to an excessive force.

  • Patent number: 8299977
    Abstract: A shock- and moisture-resistant connector assembly includes a first component, a second component, and an antenna. The first component has an end fitted with an adapter. A non-annular fastener is mounted around a connecting section of the adapter for tightly fastening the second component inserted in the first component. The second component is provided therein with at least one watertight O-ring which, after the first and second components are assembled, furnishes moisture and shock resistance to a coaxial cable passing through the second component. The antenna includes a dielectric spacer externally mounted with a coupling element and having an end formed as a shaft. A plastic washer, a wave washer, and a positioning washer are sequentially mounted around the shaft such that the entire assembled antenna has sufficient frictional resistance to maintain restrained displacement during a fine-tuning operation.

  • Fan
    Patent number: 8297950
    Abstract: A fan has a housing with a wire-guiding slot. One of plural connecting members is taken as a line fixed portion having a linking end facing the wire-guiding slot, with the linking end connecting to a section of a peripheral wall of the housing and the section axially aligned with the wire-guiding slot of the housing. A base is coupled to the housing. A power line has one end connected with the connection port and the other end extended beyond the housing via the wire-guiding slot. An impeller is rotatably mounted inside of the housing. Therefore, the line fixed portion can be close to the wire-guiding slot. Thus, the power line can be extended straight through the wire-guiding slot. A distance between the connection port and the wire-guiding slot is shortened to enhance assembling convenience of the power line.

  • Patent number: 8297332
    Abstract: An auto winding mechanism for a window blind includes two guide rollers pivotally mounted between an upper seat and a lower seat and connected by an elastic winding tape, and two pull cords wound around the pull cords. Each of the guide rollers has a gear and a bottom disk. The upper seat has a covering edge surrounding the gear of each of the guide rollers. The lower seat has a surface provided with two annular grooves to receive the bottom disk of each of the two guide rollers. Thus, each of the pull cords is protected by the bottom disk of each of the guide rollers so that when the pull cords swing or bump during movement, each of the pull cords will not be jammed between the lower seat and each of the guide rollers.
