  • Publication number: 20250093916
    Abstract: A hinge connectable with two housing parts to allow opening and closing thereof includes a mounting seat, two rotary units and two lateral support plates. The mounting seat has two first arcuate slots at two sides of a central line. The rotary units are connected with the mounting seat at the two sides of the central line for mounting the housing parts, and shiftable between an unfolded state and a folded state. Each rotary unit includes a linking member, a rail sliding block, a rotating bracket and an interposed sliding member interposed between the rail sliding block and the rotating bracket. The sliding of the rail sliding block relative to the rotating bracket can be steady and firm without the need to elongate the inclined rails of the rail sliding block and the rotating bracket, which renders the hinge more compact and slim.

  • Patent number: 12221998
    Abstract: A hinge is connectable with two housing shells for permitting relative opening and closing of the housing shells, and includes a fixed seat, at least two rotating units, two lateral support plates and a center support plate. The rotating units are disposed at two sides of a centerline of the fixed seat and are connectable with the housing shells. The rotating units are shiftable between an open state and a closed state. Each rotating unit includes a linking member arcuately slidable on the fixed seat. The lateral support plates are mounted on the linking members, and have central notches. The center support plate is movably disposed on the fixed seat and is moved with the rotating units. In the open state, the center support plate is disposed in the central notches. In the closed state, the center support plate abuts against the fixed seat.

  • Publication number: 20240353042
    Abstract: An alignment guiding sleeve for quick coupler includes a guiding sleeve having a closed engaging end provided with an engaging bore and an open guiding end defining a guiding bore and formed into a beveled guiding surface, and internally defining a guiding passage extending between and communicable with the engaging end and the guiding end. A male coupler can be assembled to the guiding sleeve by inserting through the engaging bore. The beveled guiding surface is adapted to guide a female couple into the guiding passage to connect to the male coupler. With the beveled guiding surface, any radial offset between the female coupler and the male coupler can be corrected, so that the female and the male coupler can be eventually aligned axially to connect together end to end without causing wear and incomplete watertight connection at the joint of the female and male couplers to result in leakage.

  • Patent number: 12079047
    Abstract: A hinge includes a stationary seat and two rotating units. Each rotating unit includes a linkage module that has an extension body that has a arcuate slide rail, a rotating bracket module that is rotatable and that has a fixing pin, and a sliding module that includes a connecting frame, a positioning pin, and a linkage member. The connecting frame has a curved groove that engages the arcuate slide rail such that movement of the rotating units between an opened and a closed state results in movement between the arcuate slide rail and the curved groove. The linkage member has a through hole, and an elongated slot which the fixing pin passes through to connect the rotating bracket module such that movement of the rotating units between the opened and closed states results in movement between the fixing pin and the elongated slot.

  • Publication number: 20230405405
    Abstract: A balance pad includes a base. A plurality of first pillars and a peripheral wall are uprightly disposed on the base. The peripheral wall surrounds the first pillars so that the first pillars are located within the peripheral wall. Thereby, the first pillars reduce the stability of the balance pad to increase the difficulty of doing balance exercise. The peripheral wall surrounds the first pillars, so that the first pillars can abut against the peripheral wall to avoid excessive inclination of the first pillars to cause injury to a user.
