  • Publication number: 20120011740
    Abstract: A rainproof shoe cover capable of being rapidly put on and taken off includes front and rear cover sheets that are fused together to form a main body of the shoe cover. A fixture is also fused to a joint of the front and rear cover sheets. Slip resisting elements are disposed on two wings of the fixture. A framing strip is embedded along an interior circumference of the front cover sheet to maintain the profile of the shoe cover. A fastening element is laid on a respective side of the rear cover sheet. By use of the fixture, framing strip and fastening elements, the shoe covers can be formed to cover and maintain their outline comprising the side portion, rear portion thereof and a trunk portion on a user thereof.

  • Publication number: 20110023252
    Abstract: An improved structure for a dust-collecting fabric, which is fluffy and tough, is made by overlapping plural layers of continuous filaments longitudinally and obliquely in a staggered manner. The dust-collecting fabric is not subjected to a hot pressing process, and portions of the continuous filaments are connected to each other by resin to make the whole structure fluffier. The continuous filaments are made from polyester fibers or polypropylene fibers to increase their electrostatic attractive forces. With this arrangement, the strength of the entire structure is increased and the dust-collecting capacity is improved. Furthermore, both surfaces of the duct-collecting fabric can be used.

  • Patent number: 5795012
    Abstract: A collapsible car shield structure comprises a main body, a primary worm, a number of worm gears, a number of large belt pulleys, a number of small belt pulleys, a number of primary legs, a number of secondary legs, and a number of driving belts. The main body is formed with a number of slots each having at least two upstanding side plates. The primary worm is centrally pivotally mounted on the main body. The large belt pulleys are respectively firmly fixed on the upstanding side plates of the slots of the main body. The primary leg includes a proximal end and a distal end in which the proximal end is pivoted on the upstanding side plates of the main body by a short shaft. The worm gear is firmly secured to the proximal end of the primary leg and engages with the primary worm. The secondary leg includes a proximal end and s distal end, in which the proximal end is firmly secured with the small belt pulley and is pivoted on the distal end of the primary leg.
