  • Patent number: 6129108
    Abstract: A fluid delivering system receives a fluid from a supplying device, transfers the fluid to an operational device and then dumps the used fluid into an extraction device. The fluid delivering system has a main pipeline system and at least a secondary pipeline system. Each pipeline system uses a first flow valve to control the back flow of fluid to a first flow controller, a second flow valve to protect a pressure gauge and a third flow valve to control the flow of fluid to a pressure controller. Through the relative positioning and the concerted actions of these three valves, any malfunctioning in the fluid delivering system can be detected quickly so that on-going processing operation can stop immediately to minimize product damages.

  • Patent number: 6113350
    Abstract: A vertical-axle wind power machine comprises a vertical axle, a plurality of jointed radial arms, a plurality of counterbalanced oblique blades at the support points thereof, a friction-rewarding rotary speed multiplying transmission, and an automatic rotary speed regulating means to be performed by either a wind-operated or an alternative digital controlled rotary speed regulating device; the combination of which provides the oblique blades with great sensitivity to the alternation of lee wind and head wind for automatic swinging to the most efficient lee angle at upstanding and overturned positions to sail nearly three quarters and streamline against the head wind resistance for the remaining quarter every circle of rotation, is able to convert the centripetal and centrifugal component forces to the same torque direction of the tangential component force from the same blade by an eccentric-guided angular bracket means and a fork-rooted radial arm, is able to offset the friction loss in the rotary speed mult

  • Patent number: 5823078
    Abstract: A precision screwdriver having a handle with a rotatable portion consisting of a shaft, a handle, a thrust ring and a rotatable cap. The handle has a cylindrical portion with a raised edge formed on its outer surface, and an internal cavity. The rotatable cap is equipped with a hole therethrough for holding a bearing in the form of a single ball. An internal groove disposed at near the hole serves a securing function when the raised edge of the cylindrical portion of the handle is fitted to the rotatable cap internal groove. A concave securing plate with a hole therethrough is disposed on the outer edge of the rotatable cap hole. The securing plate serves to position the bearing with suitable surface exposed through the securing plate hole. Thus, the rotatable cap can be fitted onto the cylindrical portion of the handle and properly secured by mating the raised edge with the internal groove.

  • Patent number: 5749271
    Abstract: A ratchet screwdriver includes a handle having a chamber in its interior for accommodating a ratchet mechanism, a drive sleeve of the ratchet mechanism being provided to cooperate with a transmission shaft inserted through a hole of the handle, the transmission shaft having a bit at either end, the bit at one end of the transmission shaft being utilized as a structural element for power transmission while the bit at the other end being used to drive a screw. The ratchet mechanism may be enveloped by a bit receptacle made of plastics before the mechanism is put inside the chamber such that the drive sleeve is fitted with the transmission shaft fixedly located at the front end of the handle. A rear cap may be provided at the rear end of the handle.

  • Patent number: 5522291
    Abstract: A tool handle having a tool includes a handle having an extended portion with a driving element and a switching button and a recess disposed inside the handle. A tool kit containing various tool parts is accommodated within the recess. An axial rod provided at one end of the recess of the handle and a corresponding hole in the tool kit pivotally connect the tool kit with the recess. The tool kit has a retaining piece for engagement with an engaging edge at the other end of the handle for positioning the tool kit in the recess.

  • Patent number: 4818180
    Abstract: An apparatus relating to a vertical-axle wind turbine comprises fore eccentric compressible and tensible slide-cantilevers, rear eccentric tensible ropes, dual-rocker trapezoid linkages, slightly inclined flap-blades, and counter-lever with equipoises. Accordingly, all blades on the wind turbine can catch favorable wind force at optimum leeway about 260 degrees each rotation; can absorb centrifugal, centripetal and circumferential shocks from gusts and variable wind force and convert the same to the same direction of torque; can adjust their radius against variable wind speed to stabalize the rotary speed; and can release resistance from relative wind sensitively and streamlined within the remaining 100 degrees of the rotation under the control of respective dual-rocker trapezoid linkages and equipoises to drive the apparatus for converting wind force to mechanical power most efficiently for commitment.
