  • Publication number: 20100011540
    Abstract: A pliable handle is defomable as it being held. When the force is released, the pliable handle will retain a deformed shape temporarily and return to an original shape gradually. The pliable handle comprises a middle rod, a lower rod below the middle rod; the lower rod having a buckling seat and an upper position plate; an upper positioning trench being formed between the buckling seat and the upper positioning plate; a plastic cover enclosing around the lower rod; the plastic cover encloses the thin bag containing gel so as to form a space between the lower rod and the thin bag, which is allowed to be wrapped around with several circles; and a base combined to the lower rod and tightly engaging a lower edge of the plastic cover.

  • Patent number: 7409747
    Abstract: The present invention is aimed to provide a pliable handle, which is cost-effective, speedily assemble, to improve the stability of the central pole and to prevent the gel from leaking out. It is characteristic of a plastic cover placed over a central pole partly defined a gel containing portion for filling gel. Both of the plastic cover and the central pole have stopper flanges or annular lips at their ends to seal the gel portion. Only a set of injection through bores formed through the proximal flange and lip to fit such as a needle-like injector of syringe-like barrel to inject a gel to fill the gel-containing portion. After injection, a projected stopper spindle further presses and seals the set of injection through bores. Said central pole is passed through a proximal cap then secures a distal cap to shape a stable pliable handle.

  • Publication number: 20060241647
    Abstract: A hammering inserting rod comprises a tube body; an inserting rod secured to a first end of the tube body; a first end of the inserting rod being a pointed end; a stopper secured to a second end of the tube body; the stopper has a central bore; a linkage passing through the central bore of the stopper; a first end of the linkage being installed with an inner hammer; a hammer secured to a second end of the linkage. By above components, a user grips the hammer to impact the stopper downward continually; or the inner hammer is used to impact against the stopper upward with an upstroke continually; so that the tube body and inserting rod are impelled to anchor into soil or separate from ground.

  • Patent number: 6923193
    Abstract: A stand frame for an umbrella comprises a shaft, an umbrella frame, a foldable hanger arm hanging the umbrella frame, a height-adjustable device, and an angle-adjusting device. The stand frame for an umbrella utilizes the height-adjustable device and the angle-adjusting device to control the expansion/contraction and angular orientation of the umbrella frame thereof. The height-adjustable device provides a mechanism by which the middle section of the shaft can rotate horizontally, so as to move the umbrella frame about the shaft. A pull string extending from the shaft to the umbrella frame drives a vertical movement of the upper section of the shaft and the expansion of the umbrella frame simultaneously. A set of other pull strings are manipulated by the angle-adjusting device to vary the angular orientation of the umbrella frame in three dimensions.

  • Patent number: 6854474
    Abstract: An openable and obliquely rotatable umbrella comprises a rod body having an upper shaft and a lower shaft; an upper cell set firmly secured to the upper shaft; a lower cell set installed to the upper shaft and the lower shaft; two pulleys installed on the upper shaft; a rotatable tilting means installed between the upper shaft and the lower shaft; a spring installed at a lower end of the interior of the lower shaft; a pull line having a lower end connected to the spring; and an upper end thereof winding through the lower pulley and then being connected to the lower cell set; and a control switch installed to a distal end of an umbrella rib; and a button controlling two pull lines. By the movement of the button of the control switch, the orientations of the umbrella in expanding and folding operation are adjustable.

  • Publication number: 20040129855
    Abstract: A hammering inserting rod comprises a tube body; an inserting head secured to a bottom of the tube body; a bottom of the inserting rod being a tip end; a stopper secured to a top of the tube body; and a center of the stopper having a through hole; a linkage passing through the through hole of the stopper; a lower end of the linkage being installed with an inner hammer; a hammer portion secured to a top end of the linkage. By above components, a user holds the hammer portion to lift and descend the hammer portion repeatedly; the hammer portion will beat the stopper; or the inner hammer is used to beat the stopper so that the tube body and inserting head are inserted into soil or separates from ground.
