  • Publication number: 20120187170
    Abstract: An improved structure of ring buckle of bicycle saddle bag is provided for easily mounting a saddle bag to a bicycle saddle, including a saddle bag, a mounting strap or a mounting pad, and a fastening strap. The fastening strap is wrapped around to form a ring buckle for coupling with a seat tube of a bicycle saddle. The mounting strap or the mounting pad is mounted to a front side of the saddle bag so as to form an extend-through section on the front side of the saddle bag. The fastening strap is partially received in the extend-through section so that the ring buckle formed by the fastening strap is movable up and down on the front side of the saddle bag to adjust the mounting angle of the ring buckle for protecting stretching and deformation of the saddle bag caused by improper mounting angle.

  • Publication number: 20070258758
    Abstract: A clamp structure for use on different diameter bars mainly structured to include upper clamp pieces, lower clamp pieces, a set of first spacers and a set of second spacers, wherein joining portions and through holes are located on the upper clamp pieces, and embedding grooves are defined in bottom edges of the upper clamp pieces. Corresponding positions of the lower clamp pieces are similarly disposed with through holes and binding embedding grooves. Clamping spaces are thus formed between the upper clamp pieces and the lower clamp pieces after lining the joining portions with the first spacers, which enable clamping a bar of relatively large diameter. Moreover, clamping spaces formed between the upper clamp pieces and the lower clamp pieces after additionally lining the joining portions with the second spacers enable clamping a bar of relatively small diameter.

  • Patent number: 5675323
    Abstract: In a method and a remote controller for preventing unauthorized duplication of the remote controller by a copying apparatus, a copy-preventing signal is inserted at a control signal which is generated and transmitted by the remote controller and which is to be received by a corresponding receiver unit for remote control operation of an appliance that is connected to the receiver unit. The copy-preventing signal is inserted at one of the low logic bits of the control signal immediately following a high logic bit of the latter. The combination of the high logic bit and the copy-preventing signal has a duration within a noise threshold of the receiver unit such that the receiver unit can correctly identify the combination of the high logic bit and the copy-preventing signal as a single high logic bit while the copying apparatus misinterprets the combination of the high logic bit and the copy-preventing signal as two high logic bits.
