  • Publication number: 20130143428
    Abstract: A locking socket includes a shell and a buckle mechanism. The shell forms a slot and plug holes adapted for receiving a plug. The buckle mechanism is pivotably disposed to the shell and is exposed out of the shell via the slot. The buckle mechanism further forms a buckle portion which is able to alternatively lock on or release the plug when the buckle mechanism pivots so that the locking socket of the present invention is adapted for the plug to insert in. Also, the buckle mechanism alternatively abuts against the plug to prevent the plug from detachment. Thereby, the present invention provides a locking socket with simpler structure, improved structure intensity, and better positioning.

  • Patent number: 8381920
    Abstract: A simple collapse structure of tool hanger board is provided, especially for reducing package volume of the hanger with a tool inserted therein. The hanger board has a hanger board body that functions to hang a tool for exhibition. The hanger board body has a lower portion that forms an insertion slot for receiving insertion and positioning of a tool therein. With a retention plate projecting from the body for securely looping and fixing the tool, secure insertion of the tool can be realized. An upper portion of the body that is located above a central positioning bar is made as a pivotally connected foldable upper board section. The upper board section is folded downward to overlap a rear surface of the board body so as to reduce the overall length of the hanger and thus effectively reduce the package volume, facilitate handling and lower costs of packaging and shipping.

  • Publication number: 20120234709
    Abstract: A drill bit suspension structure includes a case that receives a drill bit therein. The case has a bottom board forming a through hole from which an insertion tube extends for receiving and holding a drill bit therein in an erected fashion thereby positioning a cutting edge portion of the drill bit inside the case but allowing a shank of the drill bit to extend outside the case. Alternatively, a retention seat is received on the bottom board of the case and forms a central bore that receives the insertion of a tip of the drill bit to thereby also retain the drill bit in an erected fashion. As such, the spiral cutting edge portion can be effectively protected and aesthetics of suspending exhibition of the drill bit can be realized.

  • Publication number: 20120193389
    Abstract: An adhesive tape dispenser of the present invention includes a housing and a tape holder. The housing has an opening and a pivot axle disposed on the opening. The tape holder is received in the housing and has a pivot hole to receive the pivot axle. The housing and the tape holder have a limitation structure to enable the tape holder to pivot between a closed position and an open position. The housing has a pressing portion which is able to press the tape holder to cancel limitation of the limitation structure, and then the tape holder is able to pivot away from the opening freely to facilitate the replacement of tape roll. Thereby, the adhesive tape dispenser of the present invention can provide an easy way to operate, and the replacement of tape roll becomes more convenient.

  • Publication number: 20110005688
    Abstract: An adhesive tape dispenser includes a top forming a cutting opening. The cutting opening has an end forming a pivotal joint holed seat to pivotally couple a cutter that also serves as a cover. The pivotal joint holed seat has a bottom from which an extension board extends to a middle portion of the cutting opening so that a free end of the extension board defines an enlarged reception slot with respect to an opposite end of the cutting opening for withdrawal of adhesive tape, whereby a segment of the adhesive tape is adhesively attached to a flange surface under the cutter and an end face of the extension board in a stretched form. After the adhesive tape is cut off, the segment of the adhesive tape can be synchronously curved and received into the slot to thereby facilitate the withdrawal and cutting and subsequent reception of the adhesive tape.

  • Publication number: 20110005687
    Abstract: A wavy-embankment type contamination-free adhesive tape dispenser includes a body composed of mated plastic-made halves. The body has a top forming a cutting opening to which a cutter is rotatably mounted. The body halves form central bores each having an inner circumference from which a positioning rim inward extends. The body halves form projecting pegs and hollow cylindrical projections that are fit to each other for coupling, whereby an adhesive tape roll, once received in the dispenser body, is completely enclosed with the positioning rims fit into ring grooves defined in side faces of a central hub of the adhesive tape roll to allow the adhesive tape to be withdrawn through the cutting opening. The outside exposure of the central hub allows a user to access and contact for assisted positioning of the adhesive tape in the operation of withdrawal and cutting of the tape.
