Abstract: The present invention provides a pallet, which includes a base board and secondary boards movably coupled to the base board with coupling axles arranged therebetween. Each coupling axle includes a base from which an extension section extends. The extension section forms a plurality of flexible engagement keys. The base board forms receiving sections corresponding to the bases and track channels corresponding to the extension sections. Each track channel forms therein a plurality of groups of retention slots corresponding to the flexible engagement keys. The bases are respectively received in the receiving slots and movable in the receiving slots. The engagement keys are receivable in and retained by the retention slots to retain the coupling axles in the base boards. The extension sections have free ends respectively fixed in the secondary boards to movably couple the secondary boards to the base boar.

Abstract: The present invention provides a liquid crystal glass panel packaging structure, which includes a package box and a plurality of cushioning bodies arranged inside the package box. The package box includes a lower case and an upper case mating the lower case. The cushioning bodies are airbag cushioning bodies arranged inside the lower case at locations corresponding to corners of a liquid crystal glass panel. The liquid crystal glass panel packaging structure uses airbag cushioning bodies to serve as cushioning devices for a liquid crystal glass panel, whereby with the airbag cushioning bodies being arranged at locations corresponding to corners of the liquid crystal glass panel, better protection is provided to the liquid crystal glass panel to prevent the product from being damaged by external forces. Further, the cushioning bodies of the present invention have a simple structure, is easy to manufacture, and can effectively lower down the manufacturing cost.

Abstract: A device housing, especially for accommodating an electronic unit or a mechatronic unit, has parts which are sealed against one another in assembled condition via an encircling, stationary seal. At least one pressure-relief device is integrated into the seal for admission of air into the housing. The seal is formed at least in part as a lip that opens under overpressure conditions inside the housing. To allow any water that has penetrated to flow away, the housing is mounted vertically, with the pressure-relief device disposed at the bottom.

Abstract: A sealing mechanism for a container opening having a cylindrical opening disposed on a container body and a cap for sealing the cylindrical opening. The cap includes a screw-on cap body and an upper lid for sealing the cylindrical opening. The cap body and the upper lid are independent of each other so that the cap body can be rotated without rotating the upper lid and are engaged by a concave/convex portion. When the cap body is moved away from the container, the cap body slidably abuts on the upper lid, and pushes up the upper lid to open the cylindrical opening, and when the cap body moves toward the container, the cap abuts on the upper lid and pulls down the upper lid to re-seal the cylindrical opening.
