  • Patent number: 10413086
    Abstract: A collapsible convertible highchair and infant carrier stand device is provided. It includes basket and a base supporting the basket. The basket is configured to receive an infant carrier or to directly support a seated infant. The basket includes a bottom wall, a first end wall, a pair of sidewalls, a second end wall, a crotch panel and a back support panel. The crotch panel and the back support panel are located in the basket between the first and second end walls. Each is configured to be pivoted from a stowed position, when the device is holding an infant carrier, to an operative position when the device is directly supporting the infant. In the operative position the infant's back will rest against the back support panel and his/her legs will extend through opening in the crotch panel and a window in the first end wall.

  • Patent number: 8347555
    Abstract: A safety fence includes a door unit, a locking unit mounted on the door unit, a switching mechanism mounted on the door unit and connected with the locking unit, and a positioning and restoring unit mounted on the door unit. The door unit includes a first rail, a second rail and a door. Thus, when the door unit is not opened to reach the predetermined angle, the door is driven by the positioning and restoring unit and is returned and moved backward relative to the first rail to abut the second rail so that the door is locked onto the second rail by the locking unit so as to close the door unit automatically.

  • Patent number: 7694361
    Abstract: A playpen includes a top frame including four corner connectors, and four foldable articulations mounted between the corner connectors respectively. Each of the foldable articulations includes a mounting seat disposed between any two of the corner connectors, two main rods each having a first end pivotally connected with the mounting seat and a second end pivotally connected with the respective corner connector, and two auxiliary rods each having a first end pivotally connected with the mounting seat and a second end pivotally connected with the respective corner connector. Thus, each of the main rods, the respective auxiliary rods, the mounting seat of each of the foldable articulations and the respective corner connector form a substantially parallelogram or trapezium linkage to reinforce the structural strength of the top frame.

  • Publication number: 20090320205
    Abstract: A foldable bottom frame for a playpen includes a support bracket, a pivot connection unit including two opposite pivot bases pivotally mounted on two opposite ends of the support bracket respectively and two connecting rods each mounted on a respective one of the pivot bases, and a control unit including a locking member rotatably mounted on the support bracket and rotatable to abut the pivot bases to releasably lock the two pivot bases of the pivot connection unit onto the support bracket. Thus, the user only needs to rotate and pull the control handle upward so as to unlock and fold the bottom bracket, so that the bottom bracket is unlocked and folded easily and rapidly, thereby facilitating the user unlocking and folding the bottom bracket.

  • Patent number: 7552487
    Abstract: A bottom bracket of a playpen includes a support seat, and a rotation seat. The support seat includes two covers, a slide, a locking rod, a drive rod, an elastic member, a pull handle, and a pull strap. The rotation seat includes two pivot members and a limit plate. Thus, the user only needs to pull the pull strap upward so to fold the bottom bracket, so that the bottom bracket is folded easily and rapidly, thereby facilitating the user folding the bottom bracket. In addition, each of the two pivot members is locked by the locking rod exactly when the bottom bracket is expanded, thereby preventing the pivot members from being pivoted unintentionally, so that the bottom bracket is positioned rigidly and stably without detachment.

  • Patent number: 7459386
    Abstract: A method for forming solder bumps (or solder balls after reflow) of improved height and reliability is provided. In one embodiment, a semiconductor substrate having at least one contact pad and an upper passivation layer having at least one opening formed therein exposing a portion of the contact pad is provided. A layer of under bump metal (UBM) is formed above the passivation layer and the contact pad. A first patterned and etched photoresist layer is provided above the UBM layer, the first patterned and etched photoresist layer defining at least one first opening therein. A second patterned and etched photoresist layer is provided above the first patterned and etched photoresist layer, the second patterned and etched photoresist layer defining at least one second opening therein, the second opening being wider than the first opening. A solder material is filled in the at least one first opening and substantially filled in the at least one second opening.

  • Publication number: 20080235867
    Abstract: A sliding device for a playpen includes a support unit, a clamping unit juxtaposed to the support unit, a guide unit mounted on the support unit and the clamping unit, and a lifting unit movably mounted on the guide unit. The lifting unit is mounted on a support bar to move the support bar. Thus, the support bar can be moved downward so that a user's hands can extend into the playpen easily and conveniently to facilitate the user holding and taking care of the baby. In addition, the support bar is movable to a height equal to that of the user's bed so that the user can take care of the baby easily and conveniently.

  • Patent number: 7380311
    Abstract: A foldable articulation for a playpen includes a mounting seat, two pivot rods pivotally mounted on two opposite ends of the mounting seat, and a folding device mounted on the mounting seat and releasably rested on each of the two pivot rods. Thus, the articulation is operated to fold the playpen when not in use, thereby saving the space of storage. In addition, a user only needs to press the press member of the folding device to fold the articulation, so that the user's one hand will not be inserted into the inside of the mounting seat, thereby preventing the user's one hand from being clamped so as to protect the user's safety.

  • Patent number: 7378724
    Abstract: A method for providing a cavity structure on a semiconductor device is provided. The method of forming the cavity structure, which may be particularly useful in packaging an image sensor, includes forming a spacer layer over a substrate. The spacer layer may be formed from a photo-sensitive material which may be patterned using photolithography techniques to form cavity walls surrounding dies on the wafer. A packaging layer, such as a substantially transparent layer, may be placed directly upon the cavity walls prior to curing. In another embodiment, the cavity walls are cured, an adhesive is applied to a surface of the cavity walls, and the packaging layer placed upon the adhesive. Thereafter, the wafer may be diced and the individual dies may be packaged for use.

  • Patent number: 7213962
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a high-efficiency circuit-equipped light emitting board, which is made so as to be usable as advertisement boards and signs, and can be used either indoor ones or outdoor ones. The light emitting board includes inner and outer frames, a display board, light emitting diodes, and a driving circuit for making the light emitting diodes to produce light. The display board allows light to travel through it, and has words, patterns, characters, drawings or signs adhered thereto. The display board is disposed between the frames in such a way that users can easily substitute it with a different one. And, the present board is watertight.
