  • Patent number: 9227695
    Abstract: A drive assembly of an electric bicycle is disclosed. A shell tube of an electric bicycle is transfixed with a crank shaft sheathed with an outer shaft set. The outer shaft set links to a tubular motor set. A first side of the crank shaft is provided with a left positioning set sheathed and limited in a left hole of the shell tube. A second side of the crank shaft is provided with a right positioning set sheathed and limited in a right hole of the shell tube. The right positioning set is fixed with a chain wheel set. A displacement of the crank shaft pulled by a bicycle chain is detected by a torque detection unit, and a torque is accessed by a control unit based upon the displacement to control the output power of the tubular motor set, thereby assisting pedaling the bicycle with feet.

  • Patent number: 8881559
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a foldable lock. The foldable lock is constituted by a lock head which is pivoted with a foldable lock rod set. Two steel balls are used by the lock head to control unlocking and locking operations, thereby improving difficulty in prizing. The foldable lock rod set is composed of plural flexible lock rods, plural pivoting sheaths, plural protective covers and plural bolts, allowing the foldable lock to have a better circuity when twining an object. By the abovementioned structures, the foldable lock can increase convenience in the locking operation and enhance the anti-theft effect.

  • Patent number: 7806425
    Abstract: A trailer hitch having a retaining latch bolt to reduce shaking includes a locking head, a bolt seat, a retaining element, a latch bolt and an elastic element. The retaining element has a first directing rib to be rapidly positioned in a first bolt aperture of a first coupling member. The bolt seat has a positioning rib anchored in a second bolt aperture of a second coupling member to facilitate coupling of the first coupling member and the second coupling member. Hence the latch bolt can be coupled easily and adjustment of coupling tolerance can be performed as desired. Locking can be done to thwart pilferage of the trailer. And the latch bolt can be held firmly without sliding or shaking.

  • Publication number: 20080115547
    Abstract: A quick release lock to facilitate smooth locking and unlocking operations includes a quick release apparatus and a linkage bar. The quick release apparatus includes a quick release handle, a sleeve, an actuation member and a lock. During locking and unlocking operations, the smooth characteristics of a latching bead is employed so that by turning and driving of the actuation bar, coupling with a slant trough of the quick release handle and guiding operation of a first bead trough of the linkage bar and a second bead trough of the sleeve, positioning and latching of the quick release handle can be controlled to prevent unauthorized opening of the quick release apparatus and achieve theft-proof effect.

  • Publication number: 20080087058
    Abstract: A unfastening-proof structure for nut sleeves of quick release locks and particularly to a structure capable of preventing a nut sleeve from being unfastened to achieve theft-thwarting function includes a quick release mechanism on a quick release lock which has a lock assembly on one end. The quick release mechanism includes a rod which has a threaded portion on a distal end to be coupled with a nut sleeve. The nut sleeve includes a rotary tray, an elastic element, an inner sleeve, a barrel and a plug. The inner sleeve is disengaged with the barrel after the quick release lock is in a locking condition so that when an external force is applied to turn the nut sleeve, an idle rotation is formed. Therefore the nut sleeve cannot be unfastened to achieve the theft-thwarting effect.

  • Patent number: 7152439
    Abstract: An improved padlock and particular an improved small padlock that has a shackle adjustable to a desired length includes a lock body and a steel cable. The steel cable can run through the lock body to form a closed shackle. The lock body includes a casing, a dial assembly, two pushbuttons, two thrust members and two latch members. Locking and unlocking operations can be accomplished by depressing the pushbuttons. The latch members can engage with the steel cable to form a locking condition, or be moved away from the steel cable to form a unlocking condition so that the shackle range formed by the steel cable and the lock body can be adjusted to meet user's requirements. It overcomes the problem of the conventional padlocks that provide a shackle which is not adjustable and often does not have an adequate length.
