  • Patent number: 11958204
    Abstract: Present invention teaches double-sided magnetic cutting deck. A plurality of magnets are used on both sides of a PC center board, sandwiched by an upper and a lower board, and bonded by TPU glue, which is also the same material used on the upper and lower boards. The magnets are substantially the size of the holes, so as to fit snuggly into the holes, with gap spaces between the edges of the hole to hold excess TPU glues, for better bonding of the magnets in place. Using the TPU materials on the surface (of upper and lower boards) provides longer product life due to the good resilience to physical force from the cutting impressions made during normal use.

  • Patent number: 5887857
    Abstract: A gas compression spring comprises a gas-filled cylinder in which a piston carrying a hollow piston rod is slidable and divides the interior of the cylinder into first and second chambers. Over part of the length of the cylinder, a groove is provided in the cylinder wall. Gas pressure within the cylinder causes the piston to drive the piston rod outwards of the cylinder, this being permitted by the groove which allows transfer of gas pressure between the two chambers. When the piston reaches the end of the groove, such gas pressure transfer ceases and movement of the piston rod stops. External manual force applied to a control rod, extending through the hollow interior of the piston rod, unseals an opening at the end of the piston rod which brings the two chambers into communication again. Gas pressure transfer can now take place between the two chambers via the interior of the piston rod.
