  • Patent number: 6089571
    Abstract: An electric dart game includes a frame secured in a board and having a number of segments slidably engaged in a number of scoring areas. A plate and a spider are secured to the frame. Two conductor sheets are disposed behind the plate and each includes a circuit having a series of switch points. The segments each includes a slide and a block secured together. The slides each has one or more hooks for engaging with the frame and for preventing the slide from being disengaged from the frame. The slides and the blocks may be easily assembled without additional fasteners.

  • Patent number: 6079518
    Abstract: An abseil rescue device comprises a pair of holders, a pair of retarders a plurality of gripper blocks, a rescue rope, at least a hydraulic cylinder, a press part, a crank seat, and a crank lever. The retarders and the gripper blocks are hingedly connected to one of the holders. A plurality of grippers are provided on the holders and the retarders. The hydraulic cylinder is fixed to one of the holders. The press part is fixed to the hydraulic cylinder. The crank seat is fixed to the hydraulic cylinder. The crank lever is slidably located in the crank seat. The hydraulic cylinder is actuated by the crank lever to allow the press part presses the gripper blocks and the grippers on one of the retarders such that the rope is crossly clamped in S shape to retard the descending speed.

  • Patent number: 6059072
    Abstract: An abseil rescue system, comprising: a velocity control system with two brakes and two retarders; a rope winder with a rope; and a frame, having a base and a gallows with two height positions. The two brakes and the two retarders act on the rope, allowing for controlled and safe descent of a person. The base has a reel with a crank, where a transmission cord is wound up, which leads to the upper front end of the gallows, with a hook fastened to the free end of the transmission cord. By turning the crank, the gallows is brought in a high position to provide a high suspension point for the rope winder.

  • Patent number: 6016022
    Abstract: An electricity generating system for driving one dynamo or several dynamos on a bicycle, the electricity generating system comprising: a driving wheel, concentric with one of the bicycle wheels, surrounding the hub thereof and performing a rotating movement along with the bicycle wheel; a support, mounted on the frame and carrying the dynamos, with a holding plate holding the dynamos; and a conveyor belt for driving drive wheels on the dynamos by the rotating movement of the driving wheel, so as to generate electricity. The driving mechanism reduces the mechanical force necessary to drive the dynamos and allows to install additional lamps or devices, thus increasing safety and making cycling more convenient.

  • Patent number: 5873432
    Abstract: An abseil rescue system with a velocity control system, allowing a user to descend on a rope, comprising two holders, two brakes, two retarders, and a frame. The retarder and the brake grip the rope of the abseil rescue system simultaneously, allowing to control the velocity of descent accurately. The weight of the user helps to grip the rope, such that for a tight grip the user is not required to apply much force.
