Abstract: A dual-beam laser diode is provided and includes a base, a first laser diode mounted on the base and having a laser emitting body controlled to emit a laser beam, and a second laser diode mounted between the base and the first laser diode and having a laser emitting body. The second laser diode has a laser emitting body spaced from the laser emitting body of the first laser diode within the range of 3 .mu.m to 5 .mu.m, and controlled to emit a laser beam partially overlapped on the laser beam of the first laser diode. The laser beams of the first laser diode and second laser diode can have different wavelengths and light spot patterns.
Abstract: A displaceable seat exercise system (10) is provided wherein a user's legs and arms may be independently exercised. A seat assembly (40) is rotatively coupled to a base frame (12) by means of a parallelogram linkage assembly (90). The user displaces seat assembly (40) by extending his or her legs against a stationary foot support assembly (80), the foot support assembly being affixed to the base frame (12). Seat assembly (40) carries an arm member support assembly (50) which includes a pair of rotary resistance assemblies (120, 130) and respective rotatively coupled arm members (64, 62) for rotation by each of the user's arms, respectively. Seat assembly (40) may be collapsed into juxtaposition over base frame (40) and partially overlaid by the foot platform (88) to releasably secure exercise system (10) in a compact storage configuration.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved light bulb socket structure for use in a decorative light bulb series which is provided with a rod on the bottom of the light bulb holder to embrace the electrical wires with the walls of the light bulb socket and to close the opening on the bottom of the socket body in a watertight manner. The inventive socket structure can prevent water or moisture from penetrating into the interior of the socket body and deteriorating the conductor parts of the socket.
Abstract: A C-type light bulb socket for outdoor use is provided having a plurality of apertures arranged on the socket shell draining water therefrom. Therefore, the potential danger of a short circuit caused by accumulated water is eliminated.
Abstract: A hair clip includes a body, a decorative plate changeably fitting in a shallow recess on an upper surface of the body, and a conventional metal clip assembled together. The body has posts to fit in post holes of the metal clip to combine the both together. The decorative plate has projections to engage holes in the body so as to enable the decorative plate easily released for changing it with different colors and designs.
Abstract: A waterproof light bulb holder is provided that includes a cap having a light bulb engaged in one end thereof, the cap and bulb being received within a bore formed in one end of a base. A plastic cork having two opened holes for receiving the electrical wires which are inserted into the base with conductors coupled thereto is disposed within a frustro-conically shaped bore found in an opposing end of the base. The plastic cork provides a secure and waterproof engagement with both the base and the wires, to prevent water from infiltrating into the base and resulting in a short circuit.
Abstract: A flexible stretcher (100) and a tubular carrying case (170) are included in a stretcher system (10). Flexible stretcher (100) is formed by a pliant body member (102) having a head support portion (104), a torso support portion (110) and a leg support portion (106). The torso support portion includes a stiffened section (112) disposed between a pair of flexible side sections (114, 116). The stiffened section (112) includes three pockets (118, 122 and 126), each pocket having a respective stiffening member (120, 124 and 128) disposed therein. The three pockets (118, 122 and 126) are provided with a detachable closure (155) through which any of the slats (120, 124 and 128) may be replaced. Detachable closure (155) is formed by a pair of complementary hook-and-loop type fastening elements (158 and 160).
Abstract: A supporting box is provided which includes a unit box having at least one or a pair of drawers. In a face-to-face assembly, a first unit box can be joined with a second unit box by the engagement between a plurality of projecting ribs and projected grooves of a partitioning plate and opposing side plates of the first unit box and a plurality of corresponding projected grooves and projecting ribs of the second unit box. In a face-to-back assembly, a first unit box can be joined with a second unit box by the engagement between a plurality of projecting ribs and projected grooves of the first unit box and a plurality of corresponding recessed grooves of the second unit box. The supporting box can be readily configured with any number of unit boxes to meet different requirements.
Abstract: A buzzer assembly including a casing mounted with an ornament, an IC board mounted within the casing and carrying a battery and an IC, a buzzer mounted in the casing and connected to the IC, a coupling plate mounted in the casing, a top cover mounted within the casing and covered on the IC board and the buzzer and having a rubber press cone with a electric conducting element, a plurality of light emitting elements respectively connected to the IC, and a bottom cap covered on the casing at one side and coupled to the coupling plate and having a magnet on the outside adapted for securing the whole assembly to a metal surface, wherein when the ornament is depressed, the electric conducting element of the rubber press cone is forced to contact the two opposite terminals of the IC, causing the IC to turn on the buzzer and the light emitting elements.
Abstract: A composition of electric beam for spark plug and cable is provided which is consisted of carbon, Magnesium Oxide (MGO), and binder with suitable percentage in weight. The electric beam can be disposed between the center electrode and, the spark plug terminal. Since the electric beam comprises Magnesium Oxide (MGO) and carbon, the carbon is an excellent conductive material while the Magnesium Oxide (MGO) is an excellent insulator. Even the Magnesium Oxide (MGO), is an insulator, it has excellent potential capacity of store and excite the electrical charge. Consequently, when the current with high voltage flows over the electric beam, an intensified and concentrated current is generated. As a result, the spark is, stronger as compared to those spark plug without the electric beam. In light of this, when a stronger spark is generated, a complete combustion can be attained, i.e.--higher output of power can be attained.
Abstract: An anti-leak and anti-contact Christmas lamp includes a bottom cap, a tubular socket, a coil spring, an insulating disc and an anti-lead gasket. The bottom cap has curved recesses abutting each other on a projecting portion between two parallel walls and ridges between two abutting curved recesses for laying wires therein. The socket has a bottom annular wall with two opposite openings each having curved recesses to correspond with the curved recesses of the bottom cap so as to tightly pressing wires therein, the spring and the insulating disc are placed in the socket, with the disc pressed down by a lamp and with the spring compressed down to let the poles of the lamp contact with two conductors. The anti-leak gasket is fixed on and with an annular upper wall of the socket and tightly in contact with the glass of the lamp to prevent water from leaking into the socket and persons from extending hands into the socket.
Abstract: A waste level detector including a holder fixedly secured to a vehicle's cesspool by screws, an elongated probe extended downwards from the holder and disposed inside the cesspool, a float movable along the probe, a magnet fixedly secured to the float, a detecting circuit mounted inside the elongated probe to detect the elevation of the magnet, a perforated cylindrical casing having a top end threaded onto the outer thread on the holder and covered around the probe and a bottom end covered with a perforated end cap, and a cover covered on the holder above the cesspool.
