  • Patent number: 6334771
    Abstract: A rapid palatal expander for stretching a patient's upper jaw bone sideward horizontally and forward to accommodate front teeth. It has a dual-joint jack screw with two rocker arms having respectively one end pivotally engaged with two spaced fulcrums and another end engageable with a screw bar. Turning the screw bar will move the rocker arm moving outward to push upper barrel bands mounted on the molar and premolar horizontal outward to expand the upper jaw bone. There is an elastic means with two ends engaged with the upper and lower barrel bands mounted respectively on the upper and lower molar and premolar. When patient's mouth is closed, the elastic means will be compressed to produce a horizontal force to push the upper barrel band forward. Thus the upper jaw bone and the teeth may also receive a constant forward pushing force for expanding purpose.

  • Patent number: 6334951
    Abstract: A reverse osmosis water treatment system includes a tube connecting unit 10 having a water incoming end 102, a water outgoing end 103, and a diaphragm 104 having a check valve 108 therein to allow water to flow directly from the incoming end to the outgoing end. In operation, water flows from the tube connecting unit through-hole 105 and into preliminary filtering units 2 and membrane unit 3 via the pipe assembly 1. Wastewater from the membrane unit drain end 31 is then routed back to the tube connecting unit via pipe assembly 42 and through-hole 106. A faucet 5 is provided at the water outgoing end to deliver water for non-drinking uses. By virtue of issuing water from the outgoing end, the membrane is washed and cleaned. Accordingly, the amount of discharged wastewater is greatly reduced so that water resources are conserved and the useful life of the membrane is prolonged.

  • Patent number: 6334791
    Abstract: Load connector including a main body for connecting with output terminal of a distributor, a collar coaxially disposed in the main body and a circuit board coaxially disposed in the collar. The collar has a flange end section and an interface section. The interface section defines an annular groove for receiving the circuit board therein. The circuit board is formed with a through hole in which a central pin is disposed. The outer circumferences of the through hole and the circuit board are respectively electroplated with two annular conductive layers. A chip resistor or a film resistor is disposed between the two conductive layers. The above arrangement greatly shortens the internal using space of the load connector and has good impedance coupling so that an optimal electric appliance property can be achieved. An O-ring is disposed on outer side of the wall of the flange end section of the collar so as to achieve a moisture-tight seal between the load connector and the output terminal.

  • Patent number: 6333628
    Abstract: A linear guide apparatus with magnetic distance sensor is disclosed. A magnetic tape is adhered right on the upper surface of the guide rail so as to minimize the variation of distance between the magnetic tape and a magnetic induction element to assure high distance sensing sensitivity when the slide block is exerted by a transverse thrust force. The magnetic tape can be adhered to the upper surface of the guide rail after the guide rail has been assembled to its base thereby facilitating the assembly work. The magnetic induction element is installed in an end cap of the slide block so that it is not necessary to modify the construction of the inner part of the slide block. As a result, the space is saved and the mechanical strength of the apparatus is increased.

  • Patent number: 6332247
    Abstract: A two-piece clip including an elastically adjustable ferrule and a clip member detachably connected to the ferrule is provided. The ferrule is formed from a long strip of metal material with suitable elasticity and rigidity and having a predetermined inner diameter. Two free end portions of the strip forming the ferrule are caused to cross each other to form a handle portion outside the ferrule. By applying a compressive force on the handle portion to push the two free end portions inward relative to each other, the inner diameter of the ferrule is elastically enlarged for easily putting the ferrule around a pen. The outermost ends of the two free end portions are curved to form two small hollow cylinders, into which the clip member is detachably inserted and thereby connected to the ferrule. The clip member has a small length upward projected from the ferrule for connecting one or more ornamental or advertising article thereto.
