  • Patent number: 9360208
    Abstract: A gas lamp includes first and second main structures. The first main structure forms a foundation of the gas lamp and includes a reservoir as a fuel tank. The second main structure is directly and releasably mounted atop of the first main structure. The second main structure includes a fluid guiding member, a carrier mechanism, a covering member, and a shield. The fluid guiding member defines a fluid entry zone and a fluid acceleration zone. The covering member includes the fluid acceleration zone circumferentially surrounded therein. The gas lamp includes the carrier mechanism adapted to be grasped, which facilitates disengagement of the first and second main structures for fuel refill and easy transportation of the second main structure.

  • Patent number: 8641413
    Abstract: A device for producing a stable and augmented flame includes a fluid-inducing assembly and a shield. The fluid-inducing assembly includes a flow-diverting mechanism defining a flow-intake end and a flow-accelerating end and includes a plurality of vanes extending from the flow-intake end to the flow-accelerating end. The plurality of vanes is circumferentially disposed and spaced from one another. Furthermore, two vanes include a space defined therebetween, and the space defines a passage which is spiral-shaped. The flow-diverting mechanism further includes a covering member with an enclosed circumferential edge circumferentially surrounded. Thus, each vane in the flow-accelerating end is encircled by the covering member, and each vane in the flow-intake end is exposed to outside and not covered by the covering member. In addition, the shield is hollow and is disposed above the fluid-inducing assembly.

  • Publication number: 20110192392
    Abstract: A grill includes two shells, a sidewall, two support legs, and a stand. The shells are pivotally joined together and are pivotal relative to each other between an open position and a closed position. The sidewall is adapted to be disposed between the shells to keep the two shells disposed in the open position. The support legs pivotally join to the two shells, respectively. The stand includes two stand members pivotally joined together and abuts against a support surface when the support surface bears the grill. The stand members are pivotal with respect to each other in response to the two shells disposed between the open position and the closed position.
