  • Publication number: 20130306781
    Abstract: When one wants to store an electric cord he/she first has to start to store electric cord either from plug end or socket end. And when he/she wants to use electric cord he/she has to unwind electric cord all the way to expose both plug end and socket end for use. Dual electric cord reels with an open-slotted mutual middle wheel or a fenestrated mutual middle wheel can store the plug side of electric cord in one side of its reel and socket side at the other side of its reel with both plug end and socket end exposed outside. Therefore one can unwind plug end and socket end of electric cord simultaneously to the length he/she needs for use and does not have to unwind whole electric cord for use.

  • Publication number: 20110162135
    Abstract: Flapper tank ball pendulum comprised a buoyant hollow ball which has a small bottom opening, a handle which is fixed at the top of buoyant hollow ball and a fenestrated cone-shaped shell which is fixed at the bottom of buoyant hollow ball. One can easily fasten its handle onto lever of toilet flushing unit. Flapper tank ball pendulum can be lifted by pushing downwards pushing handle of toilet flushing unit to drain whole tank of toilet water to flush human solid waste and also can be pushed downwards by elevating manually pushing handle of toilet flushing unit to close drainpipe of toilet water tank to stop draining toilet water. Only about one quarter of water in toilet water tank is enough to flush human liquid waste. Human urinate several times a day and defecate only once a day. Flapper tank ball pendulum can replace flapper tank ball to save huge amount of water to solve the shortage of water supplies in big cities in the States.

  • Publication number: 20100089510
    Abstract: The flat tire repair kit at present on the market contains band rubbers, a tube of super glue and a needle. It is very troublesome to repair a flat tire because the flat tire has to be removed from wheel before it can be repaired by the repair kit on market. Besides it is very hard to insert the band rubbers into nail hole with needle. The present invented barrel formed screw or barrel formed nail can repair flat tire while it is still on wheel. After applying super glue to the present invented barrel formed screw or barrel formed nail user can screw or hammer it into nail hole on flat tire while it is still on wheel. The form of barrel formed screw or barrel formed nail prevents it from coming loose. The submitted picture demonstrates only one of the possible drive design, which is a cross-shape. Barrel formed screw or barrel formed nail can be used temporarily to repair a flat tire before the nail hole can be repaired by a machinist at auto body shop.
