  • Patent number: 6477759
    Abstract: A method is provided for processing a handle tool. Raw material formed into the hand tool is firstly hardened by heat treatment. A surface of the hand tool is polished after hardening. A layer of metal is deposited on the surface of the polished hand tool to provide an anti-rust effect and/or anti-corrosion effect. A local area of the layer of metal deposition on the surface of the hand tool that is grasped during use is sanded to provide an anti-slide section. A numerical size area of the hand tool is covered by a local sanding mask before local sanding to thereby form a clear numerical size mark in the local area after local sanding.

  • Patent number: 6476526
    Abstract: The invention discloses a direct current brushless motor for a fan. The motor has a housing, a stator, and a rotor. The stator has four pole sheets, a sensor installed between two neighboring pole sheets, and a circuit board electronically connected to the sensor. The rotor is installed on a shaft and has a metal cover under the housing and four permanent magnets. The sensor has a sensing window used to sense the magnetic strength of the permanent magnets. The sensor and the sensing window accordingly are offset a certain distance from a point directly above where two neighboring permanent magnets meet to obtain a better activation effect.

  • Patent number: 6467515
    Abstract: A gas container comprises a container including a main chamber for containing flammable gas. The container comprises a valve seat in an end thereof, the valve seat defining a chamber communicated with the main chamber. A cover is mounted to close the end of the container. The cover includes an outlet communicated with the chamber of the valve seat. A valve stem is mounted in the valve seat and slidable between a closed position not allowing the flammable gas to exit the outlet through the chamber and an open position allowing the flammable gas to exit the outlet through the chamber. The valve stem is actuatable by an object extending into the valve seat via the outlet of the cover so as to be moved from the closed position to the open position.
