  • Patent number: 8436521
    Abstract: A lamp device includes a lamp, a socket, two magnetic electrodes, and two electrode boxes. The lamp comprises a bulb portion, a stem portion, and two magnetic contacts. The socket has a receptacle portion configured to accept the lamp. The two magnetic electrodes are disposed in the receptacle portion. Each of the two electrode boxes encloses each of the two magnetic electrodes. The magnetic electrode is free to move in the electrode box, and the magnetic electrode makes an electrical contact all the time. The lamp device may further comprise a guiding groove and an insulating wall. The guiding groove may be provided on a bottom surface of the lamp between the two magnetic contacts.

  • Patent number: 7918667
    Abstract: An electrical wall outlet comprises an insulating cover portion, LEDs, a pair of magnetic electrodes, and insulating pads. The insulating cover portion encloses outlet electrodes of the wall outlet. The one or more outlet electrodes are ferrous. The LEDs are disposed on the front surface of the insulating cover portion. The pair of magnetic electrodes are disposed on the rear surface of the insulating cover portion, extending from a pair of common terminals of the LEDs that are disposed on the insulating cover portion, toward to one of the one or more outlet electrodes of the electrical wall outlet. The pair of magnetic electrodes are flexible to bend. Also, the pair of magnetic electrodes are resilient to recover when the insulating cover portion is plucked out. The insulating pads keeps the magnetic electrodes from touching parts other than the electrodes of wall outlet.

  • Publication number: 20080086806
    Abstract: A toilet include a toilet water tank, a flapper valve and a float pusher that supports closing the flapper valve properly and moves up and down in the toilet water tank by buoyancy force, a vertical guide that guides the float pusher in moving up and down along the vertical guide. The flapper valve is adapted to open for releasing water from a toilet water tank and to close for the purpose of refilling water in the toilet water tank. The float pusher includes a through hole, a bottom surface, a top surface, an outer surface connecting the top surface and the bottom surface and a water recess that is adapted to contain water. The water recess is provided on the top surface. The through hole is provided between the top surface and the bottom surface.
