  • Publication number: 20070096862
    Abstract: A concealed adjustable temperature switch includes a fixed plate, an adjusting block threadedly engaged with a screw hole of the fixed plate, a bimetal plate, and a metal plate. Mounted on the adjusting block are upper and lower positioning rings and a fixing ring between the positioning rings. The fixed ring includes a hole through which the adjusting block extends. The fixing ring includes a stop projecting toward the fixed plate. The stop includes two sides having a height greater than a thickness of the fixed plate. A distance between the stop and a center of the hole of the fixing ring is greater than that between a front edge of the fixed plate and a center of the screw hole of the fixed plate and than that between either one of two sides of the fixed plate to the center of the screw hole of the fixed plate.

  • Publication number: 20060083574
    Abstract: A hot melt glue gun includes a barrel, an inner tube, and an outer tube. A glue stick is guided through the barrel. The inner tube includes an end mounted around an open end of the barrel. The inner tube is made of tackfree silicon rubber and includes an inner periphery that is in contact with a circumference of the glue stick passing therethrough. The outer tube is made of Teflon and securely mounted around the inner tube and the open end of the barrel. The outer tube includes an inner diameter greater than that of the inner tube such that the circumference of the glue stick is not in contact with an inner periphery of the outer tube, preventing the glue stick from being adhered to the inner periphery of the outer tube.

  • Publication number: 20060077031
    Abstract: A concealed adjustable temperature switch is electrically connected to a heating member. The concealed adjustable temperature switch includes a fixed plate with a screw hole, an adjusting block having an outer threading threadedly engaged with the screw hole of the fixed plate, a bimetal plate that has different bending extents at different temperatures, and a metal plate. A positioning ring is securely mounted on the adjusting block to turn therewith. Two spaced stops are provided to stop a projection of the positioning ring, thereby limiting turning of the adjusting block.
