  • Patent number: 9531041
    Abstract: According to the present invention, a battery-cooling system for an electric vehicle is configured such that the cool air cooled by an air-conditioning device is directly supplied to a battery without passing through the interior of a vehicle, thus enabling the interior of the vehicle and the battery to be cooled independently from each other, thereby not only preventing noise or foreign substances from entering the battery from the interior of the vehicle, but also controlling a vehicle interior cooling operation and a battery cooling operation independently from each other. Further, a battery-cooling system for an electric vehicle according to the present invention is configured such that a suction fan is arranged at a discharge duct for discharging air from the interior of a battery, thus enabling air in the interior of the battery to be suctioned and discharged by the suction fan.

  • Patent number: 9267767
    Abstract: A portable self-defense spray to protect a person from danger under an emergency situation is provided. The compressive-spray structure includes a compact case manufactured in various designs by using a flexible long-length filling tube filled with the CN solution. In a typical spray structure, CN solution is always sprayed at only a right position, the filled CN solution is not completely exhausted, and the design of the self-defense spray is limited. The filling tube to receive the CN solution is provided in the case without being twisted. The vacuum pump operating member cooperating with the button member having the spray port is installed at one side of the filing tube. A cap is provided at an opposite side of the filling tube for the sealing purpose. Vacuum is generated with the pressing of the button member, so that the CN solution in the filling tube is sprayed due to compression.
