  • Patent number: 10385952
    Abstract: A rotating cylinder device includes a cylindrical belt having an axis line, several plate-shaped parts, several link mechanisms, and a cylindrical casing. The plate-shaped parts are disposed outside the belt and arranged symmetrically across the axis line. The link mechanisms are pivotally connected to the respective plate-shaped parts and each have a moving protrusion. The moving protrusions are adapted to move along a first direction parallel to the axis line. The cylindrical casing is adapted to rotate about the axis line and is coupled to the moving protrusions. When the cylindrical casing rotates about the axis line, the moving protrusions are driven to move along the first direction, and the plate-shaped parts are driven by the link mechanisms to move along a second direction perpendicular to the axis line, to contract the belt.

  • Patent number: 5805440
    Abstract: A power supply unit for an electronic device includes a power plug and an interconnection between the poser plug and the device. A power plug for an AC-DC adapter fits into a battery compartment of an electronic device instead of into a separate jack. The power supply unit includes an elastic cover that ensures a positive connection between the device and the power plug to prevent accidental disengagement of the power plug from the device. The power plug and battery compartment are configured so that an incorrect power plug cannot be connected by mistake. The configuration preferably includes a switch to signal the device that an AC-DC adapter is installed.
