  • Patent number: 8305226
    Abstract: A drinking-water level alarm lamp for being placed in a water feeder includes a watertight casing including therein a lamp, a rolling ball tilt switch, a battery and a weight. When the water feeder contains drinking water, the drinking-water level alarm lamp half floats above the water by virtue of the inner space of the watertight casing and the weight. When the water feeder contains no drinking water, the drinking-water level alarm lamp lies at a bottom of the water feeder. The drinking-water level alarm lamp uses the presence and absence of the drinking water in and from the water feeder to change a position of the drinking-water level alarm lamp, so that the rolling ball tilt switch in the drinking-water level alarm lamp is accordingly switched to turn on or off the lamp.

  • Patent number: 8297154
    Abstract: A combination wrench includes a shank, a first driving member mounted on a first end of the shank, and a second driving member mounted on a second end of the shank. The shank has different cross-sectional profiles and areas from the first driving member to the second driving member so that the shank has different thickness from the first driving member to the second driving member so as to correspond to different forces. Thus, the mediate portion of the shank has a uniform thickness and has greater strength and torque so as to withstand a larger force so that when a stress is concentrated on the mediate portion of the shank, the mediate portion of the shank can tolerate the stress, thereby preventing the shank from being deformed or broken due to an excessive force.
