  • Publication number: 20140141229
    Abstract: A textile component with collagen includes a plurality of textile members, wherein the textile member includes a first fiber component and a second fiber component. The first fiber component is composed of a fiber with collagen. The second fiber component has no fiber with collagen. The outer surface of the first fiber component and the outer surface of the second fiber component contact each other along the length direction of the first fiber component by textile spinning. The collagen can be in contact with the skin so as to contribute to the efficacies for, as example, anti-aging, skin-whitening, and wrinkles-eliminating when people wear the textile component.

  • Publication number: 20070040949
    Abstract: A rotating device for display panel comprises a base, a display panel set, a first driver set, and a second driver set. The first and the second driver sets installed on the base can be moved to and fro along a fixed direction. A first and a second guide portions are respectively installed in the first and the second driver sets utilized to be passed through and connected in a first and a second guide grooves disposed on the display panel set so as to form a cam structure; Whereby, when the first and the second driver sets are moved reversely, the display panel set is guided by the cam structure to rotate at an angle clockwise or counterclockwise so as to the driver sets do not need to swing and the deflection of the panel can be smoothly achieved.
