Abstract: A collapsible support includes at least three legs and a corresponding number of collapsible X-shaped structures each connected between adjacent two of the legs. Each of the collapsible X-shaped structures includes two connectors each having a lower end connected with one of the legs and an upper end connected with another one of the legs. Each of the X-shaped structures includes two lower joints connected between one of the legs and the lower end of one of the connectors and two upper joint connected between one of the legs and the upper end of one of the connectors. Each of the lower joints includes a sleeve for receiving one of the legs and a tab formed on the sleeve and connected with the lower end of one of the connectors. The lower joint includes a foot attached to the lower end of each of the legs. Each of the upper joints includes a sleeve for receiving one of the legs and a tab formed on the sleeve and connected with the upper end of one of the connectors. Each of the connectors is a strip or a tube.

Abstract: A keypad illuminating system for a data processing device includes a keypad, a light source, and a photoluminescent substance. The light source is adapted to be mounted on the data processing device for illuminating the keypad. The photoluminescent substance is associated with the keypad for emitting visible light in response to the light emitted from the light source.

Abstract: A toolbox-stereo combination includes a toolbox and a stereo attached to the toolbox. The toolbox includes a first shell and a second shell. The first shell is pivotally connected with the second shell. The first shell includes at least one buckle. The second shell includes at least one hook for engagement with the at least one buckle. The stereo is attached to the first shell in a removable manner. The first shell includes at least one hole extending through its thickness. The stereo includes at least one hole defined therein. At least one fastener is driven through the at least one hole of the first shell into the at least one hole of the stereo. The first shell includes an external side and a recess defined in the external side for receiving the stereo. The stereo includes a front side flush with the external side of the first shell.

Abstract: A cutting device includes a base, a swivel seat rotatably mounted on the base and having a first end and a second end, and a blade holder releasably engaged with the second end of the swivel seat. A blade is rotatably held by the blade holder. The blade holder is pivotable relative to the swivel seat for cutting when the blade holder is engaged with the second end of the swivel seat. An inclination of the blade relative to the swivel seat is adjustable when the blade holder is disengaged from the second end of the swivel seat. An operative rod is mounted to the first end of the swivel seat and operably connected to the blade holder for controlling releasable engagement between the blade holder and the swivel seat.

Abstract: A locking mechanism includes a seat having four comers each having a tube foamed thereon. Four guide posts of a base of a shaper extend through one of the tubes of the four corners, respectively. Each guide post is clamped by a respective tube when in a locking position. The seat further comprises two longitudinal through-holes each for receiving a connecting rod. Each connecting rod has two ends respectively operatively connected to two of the four tubes of the seat. One of the connecting rods is moved to urge each tube to the locking position. The connecting rods are linked together to thereby allow synchronous movement of the connecting rods. Thus, when one of the connecting rods is moved, all of the lugs are moved to the locking position to thereby synchronously clamp the guide posts of the base.

Abstract: A circular saw comprises a base and a supporting member for supporting the base above ground, the base being pivotally attached to the supporting member. The base comprises a clamping device mounted thereon for supporting an end of a workpiece. The base is pivotable to a position in which another end of the workpiece is supported by the ground.

Abstract: A jack comprises a frame, a base including an end pivotally mounted to the frame and an engaging portion, an elevating member securely attached to the other end of the base, and a cylinder device including an end pivotally connected to the frame. The cylinder device includes a cylinder and a piston rod having a first end slidably received in the cylinder and a second end beyond the cylinder. The second end of the piston rod is connected to the base to move therewith. When an end of an operative rod is engaged with the engaging portion of the base, the elevating member is quickly elevated when another end of the operative rod is applied with a force. When the operative rod is engaged with the cylinder device, the elevating member is elevated under manual operation on the operative rod.
