Patent number: 11592254Abstract: A bolt catch device for firearms, which is connected to a lower housing and includes a linkage portion and a release portion. The linkage portion is connected to the lower housing by a first pivot shaft and has an abutting member. The release portion is connected with the lower housing by a second pivot shaft, and has a pin and a bolt catch. When the user uses the trigger finger to move the bolt catch, the bolt catch performs a rotational displacement movement from a first position with the second pivot shaft as the center, so that the bolt catch is located at the second position. The abutting member performs a rotational displacement movement centered on the first pivot shaft, and the abutting member is away from the bolt, and the bolt moves to complete the feeding of the ammunition.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2021Date of Patent: February 28, 2023Assignee: KRISS INDUSTRIES ASIA LTD.Inventor: Li-Te Cheng

Patent number: 10024625Abstract: Provided is an assembled electric toy gun that allows a spring in the toy gun to be changed quickly for altering projectile propulsion strength. The assembled electric toy gun has a positioning structure whereby a motor-end terminal and a battery-end terminal are mounted in place and disconnected quickly and efficiently. The assembled electric toy gun has a cylinder piston unit and a barrel which are aligned with different axial directions to thereby prevent the cylinder piston unit in operation from undergoing energy loss which might otherwise compromise the propulsion speed of a projectile. The assembled electric toy gun has a firing mode system which turns off a power converter whenever a trigger switch is in a suspension state, thereby saving the power of the toy gun. The assembled electric toy gun has a micro control unit connected to the power converter, thereby effectively reducing power loss.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2017Date of Patent: July 17, 2018Assignee: KRISS INDUSTRIES ASIA LTD.Inventor: Li-Te Cheng

Patent number: 9350560Abstract: A publication-and-subscription mechanism for team rooms, referred to as team room “channels”, through which teams are able to selectively share resources from their team rooms with non-members, and that allows selective contributions, modifications, and discussions from non-members. The team room channels operate as bidirectional information pipelines to other team rooms. The team room channels may either be broadcast to all known teams, or be published selectively to one or more designated “target” teams. The receiving team rooms may then subscribe to specific published channels as appropriate. Information items from a team's team room, such as documents, tasks, representations of team members, and/or other resources, may be added to one or more of a team's published channels. Teams can associate specific permissions with each channel, including Read, Contribute, Modify, and/or Discuss. These permissions apply to all items associated with the channel.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2006Date of Patent: May 24, 2016Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Susanne Hupfer, Steven Ross, John Patterson, Li-Te Cheng, Eric M.

Patent number: 9242182Abstract: A toy gun construction, comprising a gun housing, a reciprocating assembly and a latch member. The reciprocating assembly has a sliding curve plate and a first elastic unit. The latch member is assembled with a connecting rod, an engaging portion, an extension portion and a second elastic member. The sliding curve plate moves from a dynamic position to a static position, and when the sliding curve plate is at dynamic position the engaging portion is stuck in the indention. By pushing the extension portion the latch member moves toward the sliding curve plate to release the engaging portion from the indention and the sliding curve plate is pulled back to the static position by the first elastic member.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2014Date of Patent: January 26, 2016Assignee: KRISS Industries Asia LTD.Inventor: Li-Te Cheng

Patent number: 8683351Abstract: A chat user interface for threaded text chat systems. The user interface can include a canvas view in which multiple portions of a threaded text tree for a chat session can be rendered separately and concurrently. The user interface further can include a chat participant view, a chat input view and an outline view of an ongoing chat session. Notably, selections of a threaded text tree rendered in the canvas view can be configured for zooming so that certain parts of the threaded text tree can be viewed more readily than other parts of the threaded text tree. Moreover, as new text entries are provided to any branch of the threaded text tree, visual indicators can be activated in the canvas view to alert an end user to the location of the new text entries. Finally, the canvas view can accommodate both imported external objects, such as graphics or links to Web pages, and also a white board region into which notations can be applied by an end user during the course of a chat session.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2004Date of Patent: March 25, 2014Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Li-Te Cheng, Bryan W.

Patent number: 8612868Abstract: Computer method and apparatus persists portions of group conversations in a virtual environment. A group conversation is formed of group member communications. Indications or illustrations, such as chat bubbles, are displayed to end users to represent the group member communications. The invention system enables a user to persist a portion of the group conversation by selecting respective indicators (e.g., chat bubbles) corresponding to one or more of the group member communications. The processor (persist engine) also enables any user to interact with persisted conversation portions. Interactions supported include moving, arranging, tagging with metadata and saving snapshots of the persisted conversation portions, in the virtual environment.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2008Date of Patent: December 17, 2013Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Li-Te Cheng, Steven L.

Patent number: 8302589Abstract: A transmission method and a transmission mechanism for a toy gun are provided. The method comprises the steps of: moving a firing action backward by means of a gear assembly; moving the firing action forward by disengaging the gear assembly from the firing action and utilizing a spring to drive the firing action to move forward; controlling the movement of the gear assembly by means of a movement control assembly such that the gear assembly cannot mesh with the firing action; re-meshing the gear assembly with the firing action wherein after the firing action moves forward to a locating position, the gear assembly can mesh with the firing action again by the operation of the firing action and the movement control assembly; and repeating the step of moving the firing action backward to the step of re-meshing.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2010Date of Patent: November 6, 2012Inventors: Yi-Jung Lee, Li-Te Cheng
