  • Patent number: 9351555
    Abstract: The present invention is related to an UV LED curing apparatus, and more particularly, to an UV LED curing apparatus with improved housing and switch controller. The light reflective inner casing is preferably provided as an effective UV light reflector and as a supporting substrate of the UV LED light source while being capable of transmitting heat from the UV LED light source away for further heat dissipation to the ambient by the outer casing. The outer casing is detachably attached to the inner casing and allows a greater user interaction for decorative and entertainment purposes while also being a protective and heat dissipation means.

  • Patent number: 8739431
    Abstract: A light solidifying device includes a body, a magnetic slide cover unit connected to the body, a control unit connected to the body, and a light solidifying unit disposed in the body. An inner case of the body is a polygonal case, and an inclined sidewall of the inner case is arranged to face to a user's finger nails in a direction perpendicular to the inclined sidewall. The magnetic slide cover unit can be movable to adjust the opened area of a first opening and a second opening of the body for shielding the light rays emitted from the light emitting diode to prevent from irradiation of the light on the user's eyes and skin during use.

  • Patent number: 8242475
    Abstract: A UV liquid gel solidifying device includes a support member, a UV LED module, a top cover, and a base. The UV LED module is installed on the support member and emits light into a first chamber of the support member. The support member is disposed on the base, and the base has a third chamber defined there beneath. The top cover is assembled on the support member and has a slide cover slideably mounted thereto. When the slide cover moves toward a first direction, the first open end and the second open end are opened so that the user's fingernails can be put in the first chamber for treatment. When the slide cover is released to revert back to close the first open end and the second open end, the user's eyes can avoid from being directly exposed to the UV light. When the toenails are to be treated, the base can be conveniently disassembled from the support member, and the toenails to be treated are inserted into the first chamber for treatment.

  • Publication number: 20120060757
    Abstract: The present invention is related to an UV curing apparatus, and more particularly, to an UV CCFL curing apparatus utilizing UV CCFL as light source. In order to provide an curing apparatus capable of generating UV light of high intensity and uniform lighting with great electrical safety and reliability, the UV CCFL curing apparatus of the present invention comprises a detachable UV CCFL light source that is designed and built to operate at high voltage, in a range greater than or equal to one thousand volts, with dielectric plugs and installation guides, and it may preferably include a light-transmissive protective cover to further protect users from direct contact with the UV CCFL light source during the curing operation in the curing chamber of the apparatus and to offer as a further protection to the fragileness of the UV CCFL thin glass tubes, which may too further filter certain wavelength of the UV light, such UVC.

  • Patent number: 7954237
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a heat pipe and a capillary structure thereon is provided, and the steps of the method are as follows. A hollow pipe which has an open end and a closed end is provided. A mold is placed into the hollow pipe through the open end. The mold includes a central rod and a shaping component mating with the central rod, and the shaping component has an outward shaping surface. A powder is filled into the space between the hollow pipe and the mold through the open end and then sintered to form a capillary structure on the inner wall of the hollow pipe, in which the capillary structure has a profile corresponding to the shaping surface of the shaping component. Thereafter, the central rod and the shaping component are sequentially taken out of the hollow pipe.

  • Publication number: 20090017218
    Abstract: Simplifying a manufacturing method for producing wick structures of a vapor chamber includes providing a metal lid, providing a powder thermal spray gun to generate a high temperature blaze to melt a sprayed first powder into a melting surface status, and directly spraying the first powder with the melting surface status on an inner surface of the metal lid to form a first wick structure with a porous status over the inner surface of the metal lid. The manufacturing method further includes putting a cooling system outside the metal lid to keep the metal lid low temperature.
