  • Patent number: 7414836
    Abstract: An auto-extending replicator includes a replicator body, a forcing mechanism, an extended unit and a control mechanism. The extended unit includes an extended body and a blocking member. The forcing mechanism connected between the replicator body and the extended body exerts a force on the extended body along a direction of extending. The blocking member connected with the extended body has a stepped structure. A control mechanism second end blocks the blocking member from extending out. When a control mechanism first end is displaced, a contact position between the blocking member and the control mechanism second end is changed so that the extended body together with the blocking member move extendedly along the direction of extending.

  • Publication number: 20060197369
    Abstract: A rim structure of a bicycle, including a main body 1 having two annular sidewalls 11-12 and an annular rib 13 connected between the sidewalls. Outer ends of the sidewalls distal 11-12 from the circular center of the rim and the rib 13 together define a chucking groove 14 for chucking a tire 2 therein. The main body 1 is completely made of composite material. Multiple heat-radiating blocks 15 are inlaid in portions of the sidewalls in contact with the brake blocks 3 and arranged at intervals. The heat-radiating blocks 15 are made of high heat-radiation efficiency materials. The main body 1 and the heat-radiating block 15 have different frictional coefficients. The heat-radiating blocks are capable of quickly dissipating the heat generated due to friction between brake blocks 15 and the sidewalls 11-12 of the rim. In addition, due to the different frictional coefficients, an antilock/antiskid effect is achieved.
