  • Patent number: 9363957
    Abstract: A hydroponic vegetable culture device generally includes a plurality of side-by-side arranged tanks and a plurality of slide boards set on the tanks. The slide boards extend across and straddle the tanks and are movable along the tanks. The slide boards are each provided with retainer frames that respectively correspond to the tanks and each includes an absorbent piece attached thereto. The tanks receive therein a nutrient solution. The absorbent pieces of the retainer frames receive vegetable seeds to be deposited therein. The absorbent pieces are allowed to absorb and keep therein the nutrient solution so as to achieve culture of hydroponically cultured vegetables. The slide boards are sequentially moved rearward so that when the slide boards reach an end of the tanks, the hydroponically cultured vegetables growing therein can be harvested. Thus, the culture of hydroponically cultured vegetables is made easy and efficient.

  • Publication number: 20160143440
    Abstract: The present creation is a video wall mount, including a first fixing rack, a second fixing rack, and a folding mechanism. The first fixing rack includes a locking piece and a magnet piece. The second fixing rack includes a rotating arm. The rotating arm having a hook and the locking piece are disposed to enable the hook to be hooked to the locking piece when the first fixing rack is located near the second fixing rack and enable the first fixing rack to be fixed at a position near the second fixing rack. When a television needs to be repaired or dismounted, a pushing force towards the second fixing rack is applied on the first fixing rack to enable the hook to rotate upward under the effect of a magnetic force from the magnet piece to leave a state of being hooked to the locking piece.

  • Patent number: 9182078
    Abstract: The present creation is a video wall mount having an adjusting structure, which includes a wall fixing rack, a mounting hook, a first adjusting bolt, and a second adjusting bolt. After the mounting hook is locked to the back of a television, and is assembled to the video wall mount, when front-surface evenness needs adjustment, only the first adjusting bolt needs to be rotated. The second adjusting bolt is rotated to adjust a vertical gap. Because only the mounting hook and two adjusting bolts need to be used to adjust front-surface evenness and a vertical gap, a small number of elements are used, and the structure is very simple. In fabrication, the cost can be significantly decreased. Moreover, such an adjusting manner is intuitive and simple in operations, and adjustment operations can be performed immediately without additional reading of instructions or experiments.
