  • Patent number: 11712390
    Abstract: An oral rehabilitation device for rehabilitating the oral cavity of a user includes a device body, a first activating member, an upper-jaw member, a lower-jaw member, and a processing unit. The first activating member is disposed on an end of the device body. The upper-jaw member and the lower-jaw member are connected to the same end of the device body and are for contacting an upper jaw and lower jaw of the user, respectively. The processing unit is coupled to the first activating member and is used to control the first activating member to drive one of the upper-jaw member and the lower jaw member to open or close relative to the other of the upper-jaw member and the lower-jaw member, such that the upper jaw and the lower jaw can be rehabilitated. The present invention further discloses a medical treatment system to which the oral rehabilitation device is linked.

  • Patent number: 10610720
    Abstract: A mouth-opening training device includes a water-filled bag having a zigzag edge or a sawtooth edge. By increasing or decreasing the amount of water located inside the water-filled bag to alter the total thickness of the water-filled bag, the device can accommodate different thickness of occlusion of teeth of a patient. The device can make a further improvement on layers of flavor in occlusion of the teeth. The device can further include a plurality of pivotable plate-shaped objects connected or coupled to the water-filled bag. The plate-shaped objects can provide different thickness combinations and further meet the user demands on thickness of occlusion of the teeth.

  • Publication number: 20100175229
    Abstract: An elastic clip that can be fabricated and assembled easily includes a first clipping blade, a second clipping blade, a pin and an elastic reed. The first clipping blade and second clipping blade face each other, and have respectively a pair of lugs in the middle corresponding to each other. Each lug has a transverse notch and a pin hole at a tail end of the notch to be wedged in transversely by the pin to couple the first and second clipping blades. The pin serves as a movement axis. The elastic reed is disposed between the first and second clipping blades by pushing from a rear side. The elastic reed has a first side blade and a second side blade retained by the first and second clipping blades, and a curved portion in the middle to press and surround the pin. Thus assembly can be done quickly and labor cost can be reduced. It provides significant improvements over the conventional elastic clip.

  • Publication number: 20020040800
    Abstract: A packaging structure of a chip is disclosed. The packaging structure has high heat conductivity and a preferred electric insulation and can protect the chip. The packaging structure includes a chip, a lead frame, a signal transmission device for being connected to the chip and lead frame, a protecting gel layer, a diamond-like carbon layer, and an electric insulating layer. By aforesaid structure, when the chip is working, the heat from the chip is dissipated through the diamond-like carbon layer under the hollowed portion so that a working temperature of the chip is retained in a normal temperature.
