Abstract: A hybrid card reader for IC cards/magnetic cards includes a casing consisting of an upper casing and a lower casing defining a card passage therebetween. A reduction gear train is mounted on the upper casing and driven by a motor mounted in the casing for driving a roller. Two parallel walls are mounted on the lower casing and include aligned slots defined therein. An idle wheel is mounted to face the roller to sandwich a card therebetween. A fixing member is swivelably mounted to the casing for supporting a magnetic head. A frame is slidably guided by the slots of the parallel walls for contacting with an IC on the card. The idle wheel contacts with the roller under the action of a spring wire when the card is not inserted into the card passage. When the card is inserted into the card passage, the card is sandwiched between the idle wheel and the roller and conveyed under rolling friction upon rotation of the roller.

Abstract: A side cutting can opener with a double grip includes an upper and a lower grip. When the two grips are closed, a cutter and a pull wheel can clamp a lip of a can and cut an outer edge of the lip off with the cutter rotated by a rotatable grip. The upper and the lower grip respectively has a combine end facing each other and provided with a ratchet wheel. The two grips are easily closed vertically from an open position to force the cutter and the pull wheel clamp the lip of a can. Then the rotatable grip at the right side of the grips can be easily rotated to force the cutter move along and cut the outer edge of the lip of a can.
