Abstract: A sealing and inflating assembly includes an air compressor for generating a pressurized air, a tire repairing container for receiving a sealing preparation having a mouth opening, an outlet piece attached to the mouth opening of the container and having an entrance for coupling to the air compressor and having an inlet conduit for guiding the pressurized air to flow into the container, and having an inlet conduit for allowing the sealing preparation to flow out of the outlet piece, a pipe having one end coupled to the inlet conduit of the outlet piece, and a check valve device attached to the pipe for controlling the pressurized air to flow into the container, and for preventing the sealing preparation from flowing into the pipe.

Abstract: A patient treatment device includes an upper cantilever member and a lower cantilever member pivotally coupled to a platform, a bracket pivotally coupled to the front portions of the cantilever members for forming a parallelogrammic device, an elevating transmission device for pivoting the cantilever members up and down relative to the platform, a patient supporting table including a front portion pivotally attached to the bracket, and a tilting transmission device for tilting the patient supporting table between the horizontal position and the tilted working position and for preventing the patient from falling down from the patient supporting table inadvertently.

Abstract: An orthopedic apparatus is provided for bridging a first bone unit to a second bone unit. The apparatus is demonstrated on a finger joint, wherein one of the bones and/or ligaments and/or tendons of the joint is/are injured. A method for implanting and using the apparatus also is presented. The apparatus includes a reformably deformable span portion which is generally circular and preferably rhombic. By deforming or reforming the span portion, it can be repositioned laterally, and/or it can be rotated to allow range of rotary motion so as to promote healing.

Abstract: A snap hook includes a hook member having a gap formed by an attaching end and a receiving end, a pivotal gate pivotally secured to the hook member and having a notch for receiving the receiving end of the hook member, a locking member is rotatably and slidably engaged onto the pivotal gate and includes a slot for aligning with the notch of the pivotal gate for allowing the pivotal gate and the locking member to be rotated relative to the hook member from the locking position to the unlocking position, and the locking member includes a guiding channel for guiding the locking member to slide longitudinally and to rotate relative to the pivotal gate and the hook member for a limited moving distance and for a limited rotational angle.

Abstract: A hot-wire cutter includes a frame, a tank supported on the frame, a first working head located on a floor of the tank, a second working head movably supported on the frame, a supporting unit supported on the frame and used to support an annular work piece, a restraining unit supported on the frame and used to clamp the annular work piece, and a rotating unit supported on the frame and used to rotate the annular work piece. Thus, a line between the first and second working heads is directed through the centers of initial apertures in the annular work piece, one after another, to facilitate precise processing of sections of the annular work piece corresponding to the initial apertures.

Abstract: An elliptical trainer has a base, and two crank assemblies, a handle assembly and a linkage assembly mounted on the base. Each crank assembly has two cranks and a transmission wheel. A transmission strip is mounted around the transmission wheels of the crank assemblies to simulate rotations of the crank assemblies. The linkage assembly connects the cranks of the crank assemblies to the handle assembly. When the elliptical trainer is operated, the linkage assembly drives the cranks to alternately rotate upwardly and downwardly. The cranks that rotate downwardly drag the other cranks to rotate upwardly. Therefore, the crank assemblies and the linkage assembly operate smoothly, and consequently, the user is capable of smoothly performing walking or running movements.

Abstract: A quick release device includes an attaching member having a chamber for receiving various objects and having two end members, and having an aperture formed through the end members for receiving a tie rod, a longitudinal lever arm having a bore for reducing the weight of the lever arm, and having a cam member for engaging with one of the end members, and having a channel formed in the cam member for forming two limbs, and having an orifice formed in the limbs for receiving a shaft, and the free end portion of the tie rod is secured to the shaft for securing or releasing the end members, the lever arm includes an increasing strength and a decreased weight and a decreased manufacturing cost.

Abstract: An antenna device includes a housing having a lower portion for coupling to a non-magnetic option coupler of a vehicle, an insulating member engaged in an upper chamber of the housing, a conductor member engaged into a central bore of the insulating member for engaging with the non-magnetic option coupler, a conductive coupling element having a lower portion engaged into the housing, and a coaxial radiating assembly includes a coaxial radiating device having a central radiating member for connecting to the conductor member, and a peripheral radiating member for connecting to the conductive coupling element, and an insulating element mounted between the central radiating member and the cylindrical radiating member.
