Abstract: A disk type magnetic generator is a core-free magnetic generator including a shaft connected, in series, to a first rotor, a stator, and a second rotor or a core-included magnetic generator including a rotor and a stator connected in series. The rotor has a surface that is positioned against a stator plate and includes a number of flat-plate magnets arranged in a single circle and each forming an inclination angle with respect to a radius of rotor plate. The rotor plate alternatively includes multiple groups of magnets rotatably mounted on the same plate and arranged in concentric circles. The rotor alternatively includes multiple groups of magnets rotatably mounted in a diameter expansion direction and arranged in concentric circles. Alternatively, a combined assembly of a rotor and a stator that are connected in series by a driven shaft is provided with a rotatably connected weight ring in a diameter expansion direction.

Abstract: A self-illumination glove for use in poor visibility or dim conditions, the orientation of the light head is adjustable to prevent the light being blocked by the hand movement. The glove body is adapted for load and unloads an illumination unit. The illumination unit includes at least one flexible arm which is extended along and above the dorsum side of the glove body from the power source to the light head and out of the outer glove layer through the through slot, such that the light head is selectively adjusted the orientation when the bendable portion of the flexible arm is adjustably bent.

Abstract: A self-light smoking tool includes a portable inhaler tube having an inhaling end, an opposed lighter-adapter end, and a treatment chamber for receiving a smoking element therein. A lighter includes a flame producing portion detachably coupling with the lighter-adapter end of the inhaler tube. The inhaler tube further includes a plurality of ventilating slots spacedly formed at a surrounding wall at a position closed to the lighter-adapter end. Therefore, the self-light smoking tool is extremely portable and has its own lighter such that the user is able to always carry a self-lighting smoking tool with him for smoking purpose.

Abstract: A faucet includes a valve tube journalled within a faucet body, and a discharge spout connected fixedly to an open end of the tube. A discharge end of the spout can be pushed upwardly to turn the spout from a discharging position, where an opening in the tube comes into alignment with a water inlet in the faucet body so that a maximum amount of water can flow downwardly from the discharge end, to a non-discharging position, where the opening is not fluidly communicated with the water inlet so as to stop flow of water from the discharge end. Because there is still water flowing from the discharge end when the spout is rotated from the discharging position to the non-discharging position, contamination of the user's hands due to contact with the discharge end after washing can be prevented.

Abstract: An engaging device of a sleeve-form wrench comprises a spanner body and a sleeve. On an outer peripheral surface of the coupling shaft, a plurality of convex buckling portions and concave surface portions are arranged along an axial periphery of the coupling shaft; the convex buckling portions and concave surface portions have cambered shapes and are connected one by one; an inner wall of the sleeve is formed with concave arc portions with respect to the convex buckling portions and convex arc portions with respect to the concave surface portion so that the coupling shaft are inserted thereinto. By above structure the spanner body and the sleeve are combined tightly; moreover, the sleeve suffers a larger twisting force from the spanner body and the stress distributes uniformly.

Abstract: A disposable lighter holder includes a holder frame providing a sliding chamber therein, a lighter holder for holding a disposable lighter in position slidably disposed in the sliding chamber, a resilient element connected between the holder frame and the lighter holder to normally urge and retain the lighter holder in a lower position, and an ignition member being arranged in such a manner that when a pushing force is applied by an adult's thumb on the pusher member in order to drive the lighter holder sliding frontwardly along the sliding chamber, simultaneously, a gas lever of the disposable lighter is depressed by the ignition member for releasing gas and a striker wheel of the disposable lighter is struck by the ignition member to rotate for generating striking sparks to ignite the releasing gas.
