  • Patent number: 8641007
    Abstract: An exhibiting rack for loading a billboard or bulletin board is disclosed. The rack includes a fixed frame and a movable frame. The movable frame is mounted by a board to be exhibited and linearly slidable against the fixed frame. The movable frame is disposed on the fixed frame and an extension stem is disposed therebetween. A fixed end and action end of the extension stem are connected to the fixed frame and movable frame, respectively. The extension stem exerts a force on the movable frame to support the movable frame with a board to a desired height.

  • Patent number: 8496295
    Abstract: A chair elbow capable of rotating with double shaft is disclosed. Two bearings are disposed on a mount board fixed on a chair. Each of the bearings connects one end of each of two rotating plates, while the other ends thereof are pivotally connected in a linear slot of a seat plate used for securing an armrest. The length of the slot is longer than the distance between the two bearings, and the latter is longer than the length of the rotating plates. Thus, the armrest on the seat plate can rotate against the mount board with 360 degrees and move forward and backward.

  • Publication number: 20110182534
    Abstract: A ball bearing with multi-step is disclosed. The bearing has a round seat with rolling balls in annular arrangement. A flexible depressor is provided on the round seat. A cap covers the round seat and accommodates the flexible depressor. The center of the cap is provided with a shaft base for securing the depressor to press the round seat. The flexible depressor is provided with a plurality of holes corresponding to the rolling balls. A positioning effect arises when the rolling balls are just embedded in the holes. The rolling balls diverge from the holes to rotate when the cap is forced to rotate against the round seat. The depressor is deformed by the rolling balls. Next positioning effect will not arise until the rolling balls are embedded in the holes again.

  • Publication number: 20110088497
    Abstract: A control device for unifiedly positioning two symmetric and parallel telescoping rods is disclosed. The control mechanism includes a first controller mounted on a first telescoping rod and a second controller mounted on a second telescoping rod. Each controller controls a pin to position one of the telescoping rods. A linking rod is disposed between the two controllers for unified motion. A torque element is disposed in the first controller. When the first controller is triggered by a cord, the pins will be separately inserted in the telescoping rods for locking. When releasing the cord, the pins will run back to the initial position by the force from the torque element so that the telescoping rods are released for providing a length adjustment.

  • Publication number: 20070216268
    Abstract: A desk has double desk-plates and one of the desk-plate capable of being lengthening and shortening to adjust positions thereof. The desk has a larger main desk plate and a secondary desk plate smaller than the main desk plate. An overlapping three-dimensional space exists between the main desk plate the secondary desk plate. Besides, the main desk plate can be pulled out and overlaps the secondary desk plate. Not only a total area for arranging objects of the desk plate of the desk increases, but also the heights of objects arranged on the desk plates are not limited strictly. The desk also has a leg assembly for supporting the main desk plate, a removable shelf connecting to a bottom of the main desk plate, a fixing shelf for connecting the removable shelf and the leg assembly, a supporting stand for connection the secondary desk plate to the fixing shelf. The desk assembled by these components has spaces on the desk plate capable being used flexibly and adequately.
