  • Patent number: 11794235
    Abstract: A button badge making machine includes a support frame and a lower die. The support frame includes a lower support member and first and second resilient units projecting upwardly from the lower support member and respectively having upwardly facing first and second support surfaces. The lower die includes a lower center die seat disposed on the lower support member, and a lower peripheral die seat surrounding and movable relative to the lower center die seat. The lower peripheral die seat is turnable about a rotating axis relative to the lower support member between first and second angular positions to be supported by the first and second support surfaces, respectively, with different resilient supports.

  • Patent number: 10905204
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a pull and a manufacturing method of the pull, which can mount an electronic component inside a handle part without damaging the electronic component and have favorable electronic functions. The pull of the disclosure is to be mounted on a slider for a slide fastener, and includes a ring part, an insertion part, the handle part, and the electronic component. The ring part is to be mounted on the slider. The insertion part is connected to the ring part for receiving an injection material. The handle part is formed sequentially on the insertion part by the injection material. The electronic component is mounted inside the handle part in a process in which the handle part is formed sequentially on the insertion part by the injection material.

  • Patent number: 10603807
    Abstract: A punching device includes a bottom seat module and an action module. The bottom seat module includes a base plate having a first lower positioning structure, and a restraint member having a plate portion that has a bottom surface facing toward the base plate. The plate portion and the base plate are made of different materials. The action module is movable between a standby position and a punching position, and includes a punching head having a first upper positioning structure. When the action module is at the standby position, one of the first upper positioning structure and the first lower positioning structure slidably engages the other one of the first upper positioning structure and the first lower positioning structure.

  • Patent number: 9492940
    Abstract: A stationery punching device for creating a decorative craft that includes a die support frame, a punch guiding frame aligned with the die support frame, a punch, a pivot seat connected to at least one of ends of the die support frame and the punch guiding frame, an operating lever pivoted to the pivot seat, and an urging member for urging the punch. The pivot seat is spaced apart from the punch guiding frame by first and second slits, so that when an upward pulling force acts on the pivot seat, the upward pulling force cannot be transmitted from the pivot seat directly to the two sides and one end of the punch guiding frame.
