Abstract: An improved structure of a hand holding net basket for frying comprises a rectangular upper basket frame and a rectangular lower basket frame for being connected with a net frame. Two concave cambered surfaces are installed on the two front sides of the lower basket frame so that after the lower end of the hook has been arranged within the two cambered surfaces, it may be welded in various points. Also, the inner rim of the lower basket frame is connected with a handle, and a bracket like a water droplet is extended downwards from the handle. The cambered portion on the front end of the bracket is welded between the concave cambered surfaces of the lower basket frame. Thus three symmetric points are formed on the front end of the concave cambered surface and the bracket for increasing the stability of the structure. Thus, the net-covered basket may be prevented to become loose so to cause a danger accident due to continuously flap or beat and the lifetime of the basket is prolonged.

Abstract: A foldable door includes a track and a number of foldable door leaves. Each door leaf includes a compartment and two screw holes. Each door leaf is carried by a slider slidably received in the groove. The compartment of each door leaf receives a suspension member that includes a stem having an upper end connected to the slider to move therewith. Two resilient arms extend outwardly and upwardly from the stem and away from each other. Each resilient arm terminates at a positioning member located on top of an associated screw hole of the associated door leaf. Each positioning member includes a hole, and a fastener extends through the hole of each positioning member and the associated screw hole. The resiliency of the resilient arms absorbs a portion of impact to the suspension devices during folding and unfolding of the foldable door.
