  • Publication number: 20080129045
    Abstract: A water pipe includes a pipe main body made of a synthetic resin and an annular metal inner piece inserted into an end of the pipe main body. The inner piece has its diameter increased from the inside of the pipe main body so as to increase the diameter of at least a part of that portion of the pipe main body which corresponds to the inner piece. The inner diameter of the inner piece the diameter of which has been increased is almost the same as that of a portion of the pipe main body which is not enlarged by the inner piece.

  • Patent number: 6042061
    Abstract: An improved roller rung for a cable bed to reduce cable traction is disclosed. The roller rung comprises a holder rung having a groove, a plurality of roller drums and a plurality of partition panels. The partition panels are mounted in the groove from above or an end of the groove and securely engaged with the holder rung with panel engagement means. The roller drums turnably engage the partition panels and can rotate freely and independently on axial engagement means substantially above the groove or partially protruding from the groove. Cable weight is securely borne by the partition panels which are supported by the sturdy holder rung, thus the roller rung of the present invention can additionally provide an improved support of cable weight.
