Abstract: A contactless-smart-IC-card receive and read-write mechanism for an on-street parking meter. The mechanism includes a nested cartridge set consisting of a card read-write unit and a card receiver. The card read-write unit further includes an outer case having an induction coil and a circuit board attached to one outer side of the outer case. The card receiver is removably nested in the outer case for an IC card to insert thereinto. The circuit board has different circuits provided thereon for controlling power supply to correctly complete card reading and overwriting. A detecting switch is mounted on the outer case to detect the existence of the IC card in the card receiver. Only when a correct IC card in the receiver is detected will a high frequency power supply circuit be actuated for the card read-write unit to read and overwrite data or amount stored in the IC card. The card read-write unit is not affected by external dust or rainwater to cause error operation.

Abstract: A locating structure for a bounce device in a pen, having a hollow penholder, a locating device, and a center stick. The penholder has an end with a transverse guide groove and a locating hole below the guide groove. The locating hole has a size greater than the guide groove. The locating device has a slide block with a lateral locating hole, a pushbutton with a spring locating at a bottom and received in the locating hole, a slide block inserted into the penholder through the opening. The pushbutton has a stepped end shape providing a slide tenon and a stop ring corresponding to the guide groove and the locating hole respectively, and also providing a stop flange having a size greater than the locating hole. When the pushbutton is pushed to move the slide tenon downward along the guide groove, the spring urges the stop ring to fit with the locating hole. Thus, the slide block has the writing part extend outward from the penholder.

Abstract: A cable assembly has a flat cable, and a plurality of connectors connected to the flat cable. Each connector includes a plurality of signal terminals, at least one grounding piece and an insulating body. A specific grounding device is formed on a specific position of the grounding piece. The spacing wall of the grounding piece slot and the signal terminal slot of the insulating body with respect to the base of the grounding piece is hollowed so that when the grounding piece is inserted into the grounding piece slot, the specific grounding device passes through the hollow portion to directly contact at least one specific signal terminal in the adjacent signal terminal slot. The signal transferred by the at least one specific signal terminal will ground without passing through the specific conductive wire of the bank wire.

Abstract: This invention is related to a delay drive-hanging device of a paper shredder. The paper shredder is provided with a linked delay device that maintains continuous driving force within the duration from insertion of paper between blade wheel shafts to termination of shredding operation so as to effectively grip and then strip the paper. The device is provided on the blade wheel shafts; the device drives and connects to a link dial by means of a belt. The link dial has an end that couples to a control cylinder by means of minute friction. A delay trigger for a paper entry dial is provided between a side of a paper entrance and the control cylinder. A micro-switch is connected to a primary circuit. The control cylinder has an end face having a notch that corresponds to and controls a retaining dial of the delay trigger. The control cylinder is provided on another side with a resilient press plate that corresponds to and controls a recovering dial.

Abstract: A vacuum system for medical tables, primarily comprises a universal arm, attached inhaler masks and a vacuum source. This equipment primarily places the inhaler masks at the sides of patient's mouth. Then, through the vacuum source, the mist surrounding the patient's mouth and the dirty air breathed out by the patient will be inhaled and clean air is released after filtering.

Abstract: A net light set, with an ice stick section, capable of giving an effect of illumination and flashing of a netted lamp section and the ice stick section, the net light set is composed of one or more than one lamp strings. The lamp strings are bent when in braiding into bending sections having mutually neighboring conductor sections, the upper portions thereof in a predetermined height above a level line are braided into the netted lamp section, while the lower portions thereof with different lengths below said level line are left and treated as the ice stick section.

Abstract: Exercising cart structure including a support beam, a front wheel frame and a rear wheel frame. One end of the support beam is connected with the front wheel frame, while the other end of the support beam is reciprocally slidably fitted with the rear wheel frame. Two front wheels and two rear wheels are respectively one-way rotatably mounted at two ends of the wheel shafts of the front and rear wheel frames. In use, a user sits on the seat and holds the handlebar of the front wheel frame with two hands with both feet stepping on two lateral step pads of the front wheel frame. The user's feet first push the front wheel frame forward by a certain distance and then the user's body and hip portion exert a force onto the rear wheel frame to move the same forward relative to the front wheel frame. Therefore, by means of forcing the front and rear wheel frames to alternately separate from and get close to each other, the exercising cart can gradually move forward.

Abstract: A motor has a shaft with a lengthwise through hole in a center, and a guider of a semi-circular shape having plural helical leaves to increase sucking force for gas or liquid, strengthening sucking smoothness. Water current flowing through the water passageway performs heat-dispersing function when the motor operates so as to prolong the service life of the motor. A pressure-dividing ball is placed in front of the guider to divide strong current pressure into several small current pressures to be sucked by the motor to avoid turbulent current and cause idle rotation of the motor to be damaged. Then the motor surely has strong sucking force, smoothness of flowing and its service life effectively prolonged.

Abstract: A handle assembly for wheeled luggage is disclosed. The handle grip is off-centered from the center line of luggage in the longitudinal direction across the top of luggage within a predetermined limited distance. The handle assembly further comprises a locking mechanism mounted to the inner tube with locking pins facing each other for engaging three apertures provided in the outer tubes in the handle storage position, the handle for carrying position, or the handle for pulling position. This allows wheels to be away from the legs of user and thus provides a great convenience to user since luggage does not interfere with the user's movement.

Abstract: A structural improvement of a water ball, which comprises mainly a glass ball of a water ball, and the top center of the glass ball has a candle stand for receiving a short candle; the candle stand is made of a material same as that of the glass ball; after a candle is mounted in the candle stand and lit up, the flame thereof and the water ball will provide a decorative atmosphere.

Abstract: A wrench includes a handle having a head and having an enclosed peripheral wall formed in the head for forming an orifice in the head and for receiving a fastener to be driven by the head.
