Patent number: 8308240Abstract: An adjustable lumbar support assembly for a chair includes a base, a lumbar support, and an angle adjustment assembly. The base is formed at a lower end of the backrest of the chair. Bar sections bilaterally formed at a lower end of the lumbar support are positioned across the base. The angle adjustment assembly is connected with one bar section of the lumbar support and the base. To tilt the lumbar support forward or backward, a pulling rod is pulled backward to bring the lumbar support into a free state where projections on corresponding surfaces of a positioning element and a moving element mounted around the pulling rod are pressed against each other to allow manual adjustment of the lumbar support for optimal support. When the pulling rod is pushed back, the lumbar support enters a locked state where the positioning element and the moving element are in projection-recess engagement.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2011Date of Patent: November 13, 2012Inventors: Kuo-Ching Chou, Ding-Kuo Chou

Patent number: 7802847Abstract: An angle-adjusting structure for a backrest of a chair is mounted at a rear side of a butterfly-shaped mounting member of the chair. The angle-adjusting structure includes a main body and a rotating member jointly passed through by a shaft having external teeth. A resilient element is mounted around an end of the shaft. A cover is secured to the main body by threaded fasteners. A pressing member is mounted on the other end of the shaft. By pressing the pressing member inward, the external teeth of the shaft are disengaged from internal teeth of the rotating member, and the rotating member is allowed to rotate freely. When the pressing member is released, the resilient element mounted around the end of the shaft extends outward to re-engage the external teeth of the shaft with the internal teeth of the rotating member, thereby securing the rotating member in place.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2008Date of Patent: September 28, 2010Inventor: Kuo-Ching Chou

Patent number: 7334841Abstract: A backrest of a chair has a recess for receiving an angle adjustable lumbar support. The lumbar support has a lower projection including a pair of cylindrical protrusions at both sides with resilient and metal gaskets put thereon, an outer gear formed around one of the pair of protrusions, and a through hole through the protrusions. A shaft assembly has inner teeth inserted into the through hole and secured by a washer and a elastic element. The lumbar support is secured to a plate of the chair, and the shaft assembly is movable on a sliding member by operating a lever of a manipulation assembly. Thus, the lumbar support is adjustable by manipulating the lever so as to cause the inner teeth to be disengaged from the gear. The lumber support is positioned by releasing the lever so as to cause the shaft assembly to force the gear and the inner teeth to be engaged together due to the expansion of the elastic element.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2005Date of Patent: February 26, 2008Inventor: Kuo-Ching Chou

Publication number: 20060078689Abstract: An evaporation process applied to an evaporation apparatus to evaporate an evaporation source onto a substrate is provided. The evaporation apparatus comprises a purification chamber and an evaporation chamber, wherein a heating device is installed in the purification chamber and a deposition device is installed in the evaporation chamber. First, the evaporation source is supplied in the purification chamber, wherein impurities are formed on the surface of the evaporation source. Then, the evaporation source is heated by the heating device in order to gasify the impurities so they are reduced from the evaporation source. Next, the evaporation source is moved into the evaporation chamber and evaporated on the substrate by the deposition device. Thus, this evaporation process can reduce impurities before depositing the substrate and improve the yield factor of the evaporation process.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 3, 2005Publication date: April 13, 2006Inventor: Kuo-Ching Chou
