  • Publication number: 20210048856
    Abstract: A display device includes a display panel having a bottom surface, a frame disposed along a periphery of the display panel, a first convex structure, and a block. The frame has a support surface configured to support the bottom surface. The first convex structure protrudes from the support surface, and is located between the support surface and the bottom surface and distributed along at least a portion of the periphery of the display panel. The block has a first surface and a second surface. The first surface is connected to the bottom surface; the second surface at least partially abuts against a top portion of the first convex structure to cause a local deformation of the block. The block has a flexibility larger than that of the first convex structure.

  • Patent number: 7337911
    Abstract: Disclosed is a clean container module, which includes a container body with a front opening, a rack inserted through the front opening into the inside of the container body, a top access board provided above the top panel of the container body, a bottom access board provided below the bottom panel of the container body, and the rack affix to the top access board and the bottom access board. Therefore, the rack, the top access board, and the bottom access board can provide a reasonable effect force transferring path when carrying the load, preventing obstruction of precision due to deformation of the container body during transportation. Further, the rack, the top access board, and the bottom access board can provide a satisfactory electrostatic protection.

  • Patent number: 6435184
    Abstract: A gas mask structure including a rear cup body, two cell seats and a front cup body. The rear cup body has an opening facing backward. A top side of front face of the rear cup body is formed with an inlet and a guide way downward extends from the inlet. An inclined outlet is formed on a bottom side of front face of the rear cup body. A check membrane is disposed on front side of the outlet. The cell seats are respectively disposed on two sides of the bottom of the rear cup body for receiving cells therein to provide power for a motor to drive a fan. The front cup body is fixedly disposed on lower side of the front end of the rear cup body. A filter body is positioned in a fixing seat of the front cup body. A cover body is screwed on the fixing seat to fix the filter body therein and tightly hold a second filter body in front of the filter body. An inner face of the fixing seat is formed with a through hole in which the motor and the fan are disposed.

  • Patent number: 6398033
    Abstract: A wafer container is constructed to include a shell, a holder frame, two retaining blocks, and a handle. The shell has a coupling unit at the periphery. The retaining blocks are fastened to the holder frame, forming first pivot structure. The handle is provided with second pivot structure adapted for coupling to the first pivot structure for enabling the handle to be turned relative to the holder frame through an angle between the operative position convenient for carrying by hand, and the collapsed, non-operative position to minimize space occupation.
