  • Publication number: 20250389419
    Abstract: This is a structure for connecting and fixing a lighter's core assembly, which includes a casing, and a connecting piece disposed inside the casing, wherein the connecting piece props against a hinge that connects the casing with a top lid, and the connecting piece is fixed to the bottom of a core assembly. The special-shaped connecting piece inside the casing is fixed to the side portion of the bottom lid, so that the core assembly can be fixed in the casing while opening and closing the top lid, so as to prevent the core assembly from leaping up, as well as seal the space at the bottom of the core assembly, enhancing a sealing effect at the bottom, reducing volatilization of kerosene, and prolonging a service time of the lighter after filling with fuel oil one time.

  • Patent number: 12492418
    Abstract: Provided is a method for preparing a theaflavin using an immobilized substrate, including: enriching a catechin molecule substrate, a natural plant monomer, on an inert adsorption carrier in a non-covalent bonding manner; subjecting a resulting material to purification; and catalyzing polymerization of the catechin molecule substrate enriched on the carrier with a high-selectivity free exogenous enzyme to produce the dimeric substance of theaflavin. The purification and enzymatic oxidation condensation of the catechin substrate are integrated on a same carrier, which reduces the difficulty of process operations.
