Abstract: The present invention relates to a sanding apparatus used for the production of air textured yarn and false twist yarn. The apparatus comprises a motor, a housing provided with a guide groove, and a frictional disk connected to the motor and enclosed in the housing. The apparatus can be arranged in an intermediate section of the production process to generate short hair on the outer surface of yarn by the contact between the frictional disk and moving yarn. Accordingly the products made by the apparatus have soft tactile feelings when touched.

Abstract: A method of applying a layered structure on a host surface for hot-melt printing is provided. A print pattern layer is placed with a release layer and an upper cellophane sheet on a top surface of the print pattern layer, and a lower cellophane sheet on a bottom surface thereof. The print pattern layer is then seated on top of a host surface material and heat-pressed at a temperature within a temperature range of between 80.degree. to 150.degree. Celsius. Under those conditions, the upper cellophane sheet melts and permeates the print pattern layer to merge with the lower cellophane sheet and is attached onto the host surface material. After regenerative cooling, the release layer is able to be peeled off, forming a protective print pattern layer. The cellophane sheets are formed by applying synthetic resin directly onto the release layer, and by peeling off the release layer to form the upper cellophane sheet and the lower cellophane sheet.

Abstract: A gluteal exercise system (10) for imparting a resistive force responsive to a displacement force applied by a user (1) is provided. The gluteal exercise system (10) includes a lower body section (100) having a lower coupling portion (110) and a pair of engagement bars (120, 120') for concurrently engaging the feet of the user (1). The gluteal exercise system (10) also includes an upper body section (200) which is displaceably coupled to the lower body section (100). The upper body section (200) is formed with an upper coupling portion (210) and a pair of engagement arms (220, 220') extending transversely therefrom for concurrently engaging portions of the legs of the user (1). The gluteal exercise system (10) also includes a tension mechanism adjustably coupled to the lower and upper coupling portions (110, 210) for imparting the resistive force in opposition to the force imparted by the user (1) to displace the upper body section (200) relative to the lower body section (100).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a motor for an air-tool. More particularly, the present invention is directed to an air driven motor in which the rotor has a plurality of recesses formed between each pair of adjacent vane holding slots. A separator fine is fixed in each recess. Each vane of the rotor is radially displaceable and outwardly biased to expose a compressed air contact surface area. The separator fins add additional compressed air contact surface areas.

Abstract: A fruit dehydrator is composed of a base, an isolator, a rotating frame, a screen and a cover. The base has a whirlwinder and a motor and on the top is covered with the isolator which has a blow hole. The motor has a spindle inserted through the center portion of the isolator which top portion is seated with a screen and the rotating frame. The spindle is inserted through the center portions of the isolator, the rotating frame, the screen and the cover so as to link together, which allows the wheels of the rotating frame to rotatably stand on the edge of the base, whereas food are placed on the screen and covered by the cover. By activating the motor, the food on the screen are evenly dehydrated.

Abstract: An adjustable illuminating/retrieving apparatus comprising a flexible structure having a first end portion and a second end portion connected with a first end portion of an extension tube which includes a second end portion with a magnet fixedly mounted therein. A supporting base extends outward from the first end portion of the extension tube and is pivotally connected with a pivot base. A receiving tube includes a first end portion mounted on the pivot base and a second end portion formed with a first annular flange extending outward. A lighting unit is received in the receiving tube and partially extends outward of the second end portion of the receiving tube. A sliding sleeve is slidably mounted on the receiving tube and includes a first end portion formed with a second annular flange extending inward.

Abstract: A lock mechanism structure includes a pair of latches with one end of each latch positioned against a spring and the other end of which are engaged with a rod. A block has a spring urging the block outwardly which in turn urges the latches outwardly to extend into a recess, whereas the other end of the block has a slope surface engaging with a corresponding slanting surface on a bulge extending upward from a rotating plate of a lock core, thus, when opening the lock, the lock core rotates to bring the bulge to push the block upwardly, whereas the other end of the block descends to urge the spring to retract, this allows the latch to detach from the recess and the lock is in a released status.

Abstract: A sign box includes a light permeable box body of V-shaped cross section, a locating block securely fastened to one side of the flat box body, a circuit board securely mounted on the locating block, the circuit board having a plurality of LEDs (light emitting diodes) respectively inserted into respective through holes at the locating block, a control circuit mounted on the circuit board to control the operation of the LEDs, a cover covered on the control circuit, the circuit board and the locating block, and a mounting frame securely mounted on the cover for securing the sign box to a support.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a multiple-peg spherical lamp-holder, in which the sphere is divided into six equational sectors, and two opposite sectors link together to form a piece, so there are three pieces in the spherical base, therein all of them splice together with each other just to combine a sphere. On each sphere sector at least a peg is built for a lamp to be seated on. For retaining the lamp firmly, the peg has several rows of pawls toward the sphere.

Abstract: The subject invention relates to a type of hub structural improvement, comprising mainly the clutch mechanism that is composed of a clutch and the ratchet teeth of the bearing housing inside the hub; so that the whole unit can independently perform a single-direction brake function; without additional components as in conventional structures; with its high compatibility of components, only the chain wheel support has to be replaced in case of additional function of multi-step speed changes; without replacing many components as in conventional structures, which would result in higher assembling costs; under the trend of ever-changing bicycle specifications, it will reduce the change of measurements of relevant components, thus reducing the production costs.

Abstract: The subject invention relates to a type of accommodating hinge mechanism, comprising two positioning plates, an inner shaft and an outer shaft; the inner shaft and the outer shaft are respectively joined to a positioning plate; the inner shaft is inserted inside the outer shaft, and so positioned by the matching jutted ring and the dented ring to compose a hinge mechanism; the two positioning plates serve to position the LCD monitor and the main unit of a notebook computer; the connecting wires of the LCD monitor and the main unit can pull through the slots of the positioning plate, the inner shaft and the outer shaft to inside the inner shaft, and then the slot on the inner shaft is sealed; by way of said mechanism, the hinge serves to accommodate the connecting wires and hide them inside the hinge, thus avoiding the need to reserve additional space for the connecting wires.
