  • Publication number: 20160286954
    Abstract: The invention relates to a flap support structure applied to a tablet device and comprising a first plate body and a second plate body having left and right sides pivotally connected to each other. The first plate body has a first left fold line and a first right fold line sequentially dividing it into a left supporting plate, a baseplate and a right supporting plate. The second plate body has a second left fold line and a second right fold line sequentially dividing it into a left folding plate, a carrying-plate and a right folding plate. Inwardly folding the left supporting plate, the left folding plate, the right supporting plate and the right folding plate forms a three-dimensional support seat having a firm structure for supporting the tablet device.

  • Patent number: 8870551
    Abstract: A pump which is adapted to be operably moved or to use a high-pressure air cartridge to inflate an object includes a cylinder assembly, a first nozzle head assembly, and a second nozzle head assembly. The pump that is operably moved will induce external air in a chamber defined in the cylinder assembly. The first nozzle head assembly is engagable with the air cartridge and the object and allows high-pressure air in the air cartridge to flow into the object. The first nozzle head assembly is not in fluidal communication with the chamber. The second nozzle head assembly is engagable with the object and allows the air in the chamber to flow into the object by operably moving the pump.

  • Publication number: 20120192993
    Abstract: An air pump defines first and second ends and includes a tube, a tappet assembly movably connected to the tube, a connector joined to the tube and disposed at the second end of the air pump, and a nozzle head to which an object to be inflated by the air pump is engaged is disposed at the first end of the air pump. Moreover, the air pump is operable in a first mode where a gas cartridge is engaged with the connector and the object is inflated by the gas cartridge rapidly. Also, the air pump is operable in a second mode where the tube and the tappet are moved relatively for pumping air into the object. Additionally, the gas cartridge is useable as a handle gripped for causing the tube to move with respect to the tappet assembly.
