Abstract: A ball-grid array (BGA) IC packaging frame of the invention includes a plurality of ball-grid array tin balls formed on the rear surface of a BGA package and a plurality of supporting pads formed on the surrounding of the rear surface. The designed supporting pads can efficiently prevent a non-contact soldering and a short circuit when a BGA IC is mounted on a PCB during manufacturing.

Abstract: A frame for a tabletop barbecue grill including a pair of supporting panels respectively mounted between legs of a frame of a tabletop barbecue grill, which can firmly and stably support a fire bowl of the tabletop barbecue grill and securely hold a removable ash catcher, whereby avoiding overturn thereof.

Abstract: A barbecue grill includes a fire bowl for supporting a plurality of grids, two pairs of legs extending from the fire bowl for supporting the barbecue grill above the ground, a lid with a grip in the center, top portion thereof, a resilient handle secured on the opposite sides of the fire bowl via two fixation blocks each defining an L-shaped channel for receiving the handle and an aperture in the corner of the L-shaped channel for the handle to extend therethrough and couple with the fire bowl so that a user may expand the resilient handle and pivotally adjust a position of the handle and the lid may be retained in a vertical position among the fire bowl, one pair of the legs, and the handle when the handle is in a horizontal position.

Abstract: A fireplace tool set stand includes a lower part and an upper part detachably mounted to the lower part. The lower part includes a bar with a threaded upper end and four legs extending from a lower end thereof. The upper part includes a plurality of hooks each having a downward hooked portion for hanging a fire iron thereon. The hooks are welded together at their common bottom end, with a flange formed at a periphery of the bottom end. A fastener is provided to the bottom end, with internal threadings formed in an inner periphery thereof for engaging with the threaded upper end of the bar. The fastener is retained on the upper part by the flange. Preferably, the legs of the lower part are foldable or detachable to provide a more compact volume.

Abstract: A cover-positioning device for a barbecue has a substantially L-shaped slot including a first end and a second end and a bolt. The cover-positioning device for a barbecue is fixed to a barbecue body. The bolt is inserted through the slot and slidable along the slot. The bolt is then fixed to a barbecue cover. When the bolt is in the first end of the slot, the barbecue body is covered. The barbecue cover can be remain opened with the bolt being in the second end of the slot.

Abstract: A fireplace screen constructed with a pair of connecting rods each surrounded by a protective housing, above each connecting rod is a round capping washer and a nut and washer. A connecting member connects nuts, washers, capping washers, and connecting rods, with threaded ends of the connecting rods engaging with the nuts. A bolt connects the connecting member and the cap-like enclosure by engaging with a decorative finial.

Abstract: A knockdown type ash catch tray in the shape of a round plate that can be easily mounted and dismounted on the legs of a barbecue kettle, particularly a charcoal kettle. The outer edges of the plate are downwardly folded to form a folded side provided on the circumference thereof with the same number of mounting holes as the legs of the barbecue kettle. Each mounting hole having the profile of an L-shape includes a fitting hole portion at one end thereof, a guiding hole portion at the middle thereof and a hanging hole portion at the other end thereof. These hole portions are arranged in communicating with one another. By aligning the mounting holes on the ash catch tray respectively with the studs provided at a predetermined height on the corresponding inner sides of the legs of the barbecue kettle and turning the tray in one direction, the ash catch tray can be easily engaged with the studs and supported in position on the legs of the kettle.

Abstract: In socket wrench of the present invention there is provided a storage cavity in the handle thereof for housing an attachable socket storage means or holder. Socket holder comprises a side plate and a cover plate being linked to each other in a L-shaped arrangement, the side plate having mid longitudinal portion thereof formed into a narrow and elongate guide slot for engagement and movement therein of a plurality of mounting stubs. Each stub is to receive a socket member to be mounted thereon. Prior to use of the socket wrench, socket holder can be drawn out therefrom, thereby reducing the weight in the handle advantageous to the manipulation of the wrench, and the upstanding disposition of the socket members of various sizes inside the holder allows removal of one socket member from the other members even more conveniently.

Abstract: An electronic digital tape rule consisting of a housing, a tape reel having an extendable and flexible measuring tape, a battery case, an actuator, a detector, a counter, a display and a brake. The actuator comprises a friction roll rotatably mounted on a shaft fixed at an inner wall of the housing, a disc disposed on the upper end of the roll and rotatable by the friction of the roll, a plate fixed on the upper end of the roll and having a hole with a pair of contact plates attached on the two side walls of the hole, a spring mounted between the disc and the plate for constantly pressing the disc against the roll and an actuating rod disposed upright on the upper side of the disc and having its upper end engaging with the hole. The actuating device in cooperation with the friction rolls can accomplish the switching action corresponding to the directions of rotation of the friction rolls.
