  • Patent number: 11432091
    Abstract: A non-dispensing manufacturing process includes forming a paper cone; engaging the paper cone with a voice coil to form a vibration assembly; fixing a yoke, a magnet set, and a washer to form a magnetic circuit assembly; engaging a basket with the magnetic circuit assembly; and engaging the basket with the vibration assembly to form a speaker, where no glue is used in the manufacturing process. A speaker includes a paper cone; a voice coil engaged with the paper cone to form a vibration assembly, where a junction between a bobbin of the voice coil and the paper cone has a first welding layer; a magnetic circuit assembly including a yoke, a magnet set, and a washer that are integrally fixed; and a basket engaged with the magnetic circuit assembly and the vibration assembly.

  • Patent number: 8383938
    Abstract: A sliding cover faceplate and an electronic device using the same are provided. The sliding cover faceplate includes a sliding cover, a cover plate, and a sliding structure. The cover plate is provided on the electronic device, and the sliding cover is disposed on one side of the cover plate. The sliding structure includes a guiding portion and an elastic positioning portion. The guiding portion is disposed on the cover plate and is connected to the sliding cover to guide the sliding cover to slide between a first location and a second location on the cover plate. The elastic positioning portion connects the cover plate with the sliding cover to provide an elastic force to the sliding cover, such that when the sliding cover slides close to the first location or the second location, the sliding cover is automatically positioned on the first location or the second location.

  • Publication number: 20110174952
    Abstract: A display device includes a display module and a stand. The display module has a display surface. The stand includes a curved sliding rail, a base, and a holder. The curved sliding rail is fixed to the display module. The base is suitable for being disposed at the supporting surface. The holder is slidably connected with the curved sliding rail and is pivotally connected with the base. By rotating of the holder relative to the base and sliding of the holder along the curved sliding rail, an angle between the display surface and the supporting surface and a distance between the display surface and the supporting surface are adjustable.

  • Publication number: 20080099277
    Abstract: The present invention is a muffler for pneumatic tools. The invention includes a hollow nozzle, with the exhaust port being reduced, and some orifices placed at the center thereof. A connector is assembled into the air inlet of the nozzle that allows it to be coupled to a pneumatic tool. A cover is mated externally onto the exhaust port of the nozzle to accommodate an orifice and air vent of the nozzle. Some exhaust holes are provided onto the surface of cover. A noise deadener is installed between the surface of the cover and orifice of nozzle. The air vents are placed at a reduced wall around an orifice of the nozzle, such that some fluid can flow through the unreduced cross-section, thus maintaining proper pressure and reducing the noise level for an improved performance.
