Abstract: A cap structure for a fragile bottle is disclosed herein. It comprises a main body having an inner space and a connecting part at a lower end of the inner space; an elastic pad disposed at an upper end of the inner space; and a stainless steel lining movably disposed in the inner space to move between the elastic pad and the connecting part.

Abstract: A dustbin has a main lid pivoted thereto, a second lid slidable on the main lid for covering an opening of the main lid with, a pedal, and a tube having a slide movably confined therein; a first rope is connected to the pedal and the slide while a second rope is connected to the slide and the second lid such that the second lid will be opened immediately after the pedal is depressed; a third rope is connected to the main lid at upper end, and passed through the slide, and has a block connected to the lower end, which is a distance away from the slide before the pedal is depressed; thus, the main lid will be opened by pulling the third rope downwards, and the third rope won't be pulled until the pedal is depressed to such a position that the slide contacts the block to make the block move.

Abstract: A metallic plate is curved and folded by means of a press such that a curved portion is formed along an edge thereof, and two opposing straight portions are parallel, which are on two sides of the curved portion; the press includes first and second lower dies, and first and second hydraulic actuated upper dies; the first lower die has notches along it; the second lower die has a trench along it, whose cross-section is like an U; the second upper die has a pressing portion fitting the trench; the plate is first formed with two parallel folded portions, which each defines an obtuse angle, and together define an intermediate portion, with the notches and the first upper die; the width of the intermediate portion equals the arc length of the trench; next, the intermediate portion is sandwiched between and pressed with both the second dies to have the same curvature as the trench.

Abstract: A cart includes a bottom holding unit, two lateral plates detachably joined to lateral edges of the bottom unit at lower ends, several spaced upper holding units detachably joined to the lateral plates at two lateral ends, a handle detachably joined to one of the lateral plates, and wheels detachably joined to a lower side of the bottom unit; each holding unit has a horizontal plate, and two wall portions, which are detachably fitted to front and rear edges of the horizontal plate, and which are detachably connected to the lateral plates at two ends; the cart is in dismantled position with the above various plates being stacked up so as to occupy less space before the user assembles it.

Abstract: A speed reduction mechanism is provided to a strap supporting post having a winding mechanism capable of automatically winding a strap around it; the reduction mechanism includes a rotary member turnable together with the winding mechanism, and a stationary member secured to on top of the post; the rotary member has rubbing bars pivoted to a middle part thereof; the rubbing bars are biased towards the middle part by tension springs; centrifugal force will act on the rubbing bars when the winding mechanism rotates after the strap has been released from stretched position; the rubbing bars are pivoted towards the stationary member when speed of rotation of the winding mechanism is so high that the centrifugal force is greater than force of the tension springs, thus slowing down rotation of the winding mechanism, and preventing the free end of the strap from swing too fast.

Abstract: A tape measure comprising a calibrated tape, a reel shaft around which the tape is reeled up into a spool, and a housing in which the reel shaft is rotatably mounted and the spool is received. In order to avoid the disadvantages resulting from a too fast reel-up speed, there is provided a unilateral deceleration brake, which effects only in the reel-up direction of the tape, with a plurality of brake shoes and corresponding presressed spring means and a rotor carrying the brake shoes, wherein the rotor is coaxially and unrotatably mounted on an extension part of the reel shaft, and the brake shoes are pivotally jointed to the rotor and biased by the spring means to remain in a first position, in which the brake shoes are spaced from the inner wall of the housing by a predetermined clearance.

Abstract: A leg of a table includes a connecting portion, and an elongated supporting portion. The connecting portion includes two lateral plates secured to bottom of a table's top, and several horizontal portions formed between the lateral plates. The horizontal portions have through holes aligned with each other. Annular walls are formed around the through holes. The annular walls are shaped such that the inner sides thereof taper off towards an upper end of the inner side of the uppermost one. The elongated supporting portion has pads on an upper end, of which the outer sides taper off towards an upper end. The elongated supporting portion is joined to the connecting portion with the pads being inserted into the annular walls; thus, the pads will be forced further into the connecting portion when more weight is placed on the table, making the table more steady.
