  • Publication number: 20070177343
    Abstract: A portable personal computer includes a portable casing and computer components supported therein. The portable casing includes a first panel, a second panel, and an edge connector foldably coupling the first panel with the second panel edge-to-edge. The computer components includes a screen panel sealedly and overlappedly mounted on the first panel, a CPU circuitry sealedly mounted on the second panel to electrically connect to the screen panel, and a keyboard panel sealedly mounted on the second panel to electrically connect to the CPU circuitry. Therefore, the portable casing is adapted to fold at the storage position that the first panel is spacedly overlapped on the second panel to form a receiving cavity therebetween so as to protect the computer components in the receiving cavity, and at the usage position that the first panel is upwardly folded at an angle with respect to the second panel.

  • Patent number: 6921102
    Abstract: A foldable stroller, incorporating with a one-hand operational control device includes a turn switch rotatably mounted on the stroller. A locking unit includes a locking latch slidably disposed a pusher cavity of the turn switch to lock up a rotational movement of the turn switch and a finger trigger arranged to push the locking latch inwardly into the pusher cavity to unlock the turn switch. In order to fold up the stroller, a user's fingers must grip the finger trigger inwardly to push the locking latch inward, so that the turn switch is unblocked and free to rotate with respect to pivot arms of the stroller to disengage an engagement unit of the stroller.

  • Patent number: 6874177
    Abstract: A baby furniture includes a boundary frame, a body supporting member spaced apart with the boundary frame, and a plurality of supporting legs connected the boundary frame with the supporting member. A boundary shelter is supported by the boundary frame to surround an interior space within the supporting legs and define a play yard cavity within the supporting legs at a position above the body supporting member and a bassinet cavity within the supporting legs at a position below the body supporting member. Therefore, the baby furniture functions as a play yard when an opening of the play yard cavity faces upwardly and as a bassinet when an opening of the bassinet cavity faces upwardly by flipping the baby furniture in an up side down manner.

  • Patent number: 6799338
    Abstract: A portable playyard includes a top frame defining a top opening, a bottom frame, a plurality of circular inflatable supporters spacedly bridging the top and bottom frames, a boundary shelter supported by the top frame to define a playyard cavity within the boundary shelter, the top frame, and the bottom frame; and an air valve provided at the inflatable supporters. Each of the inflatable supporters, having an air chamber, is outwardly and inclinedly extended from the top frame to the bottom frame to evenly distribute and support a downward force applied on the top frame so as to prevent the playyard from being accidentally collapsed.

  • Patent number: 5963996
    Abstract: A supporting structure for play yard includes a top frame, a bottom frame and at least three support posts mounted between the top frame and the bottom frame to define an interior cavity. Each of the support posts includes a frame post having an adjustment base axially affixed to a bottom end of the frame post. Each of the adjustment bases has a threaded upper shank and an enlarged base turner. To assemble the supporting structure, penetrate each of the support posts through a threaded adjusting hole of a respective holding joint of the bottom frame until a top end of the support post rotatably inserts into a head sleeve of the top frame through its bottom opening. Therefore, the distance between the top frame and the bottom frame can be adjusted by screwing the threaded upper shank in or out of the threaded adjusting hole.
