  • Patent number: 6124010
    Abstract: A seam structure for connecting two foam sheets in edge-to-edge manner, wherein the connection surfaces (i.e. the adhering area) between the edge joints of the two foam sheet are respectively enlarged without increasing the thickness of the foam sheets, allows two foam sheets of a thinner width than is used with conventional seam structures to be connected with sufficient strength to overcome horizontal separating forces. The seam structure includes a base edge joint provided at an end edge of the first foam sheet and a covering edge joint provided at an end edge of the second foam sheet. The base edge joint has a root portion and an end portion defining a base connection surface extended sidewardly from the root portion to the end portion. The covering edge joint has a root portion and an end portion defining a covering connection surface extended sidewardly from the root portion to the end portion thereof.

  • Patent number: 6109110
    Abstract: A low frequency vibration sensor includes a permanent magnet, a sensor body, a steel spheroid, and a piezoelectric element. The sensor body has a pillar shape and is made of plastic material having a transverse separator section in a middle portion to divide the sensor body in an upper and a lower spaces. A depressed slot is formed around the upper space for disposing the magnet, while the lower space is made larger than the steel spheroid so as to accommodate it therein movably and also put under the influence of an attractive force of the magnet above. A piezoelectric element is set in along a grooved rail provided around the bottom edge of the sensor body to thereby form a closed space. The steel spheroid is movable to swing in the space such that its motion is conducted to the piezoelectric element to induce a corresponding low frequency electric signal between two electrodes of the piezoelectric element to thereby detect the vibration caused by an external force.

  • Patent number: 6100798
    Abstract: A tire pressure detecting/warning apparatus includes a main body mounted to a tire valve for introducing air pressure in the tire. The main body includes a first air passage and a second air passage. A first reed is mounted on the first air passage and is deformed to be in electrical contact with a first contact when the tire pressure is higher than a pre-determined relatively higher value of a safety range. A second reed is mounted on the second air passage and is deformed to be disengaged from a second contact when the tire pressure is lower than a pre-determined relatively lower value of the safety range. The tire pressure is too high if the first reed is in contact with the first contact, and the tire pressure is too low if the second reed is disengaged from the second contact. In either case, a radio- transmitting device sends a signal to a receiver in the vehicle, and a siren is activated to give a warning by sound or lamp that the pressure is too high or too low.

  • Patent number: 6093273
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process of manufacturing a metal foil card having a metal surface by integrally attaching a transparent plastic laminating sheet to one side of the metal foil card as thin as 0.01 mm to 1 mm to form a plastic supporting layer, so that the tactile impression of the metal can be retained. Moreover, the metal foil is supported and reinforced by a plastic supporting layer so as to reduce the thickness of the expensive metal while providing better flexibility. The metal foil card is more easier to be cut or folded than a metal having the same thickness.
