  • Patent number: 11103984
    Abstract: A torque wrench includes a main body, a holder, an adjusting member, and at least one first washer. The main body has a receiving recess. The holder has a first threaded portion. The adjusting member is provided with a second threaded portion, a head portion, a first abutting face, a second abutting face, and an annular groove. The at least one first washer is mounted in the annular groove of the adjusting member. Thus, when the head portion is moved toward the holder by rotation of the second threaded portion relative to the first threaded portion, the at least one first washer is moved to abut the holder, thereby providing a buffering effect between the head portion and the holder, and thereby preventing the head portion from directly hitting the holder.

  • Patent number: 7777734
    Abstract: A liquid crystal displayer for preventing the generation of moisture includes a front cover, a touch panel, a nameplate, a partitioning plate and a liquid crystal displayer module. With the partitioning plate dividing a region between the touch panel and the liquid crystal displayer module into a first space and a second space, the first space is smaller, whereas the second space is larger. After the liquid crystal displayer module is supplied with electricity, the hot air staying in the first space is less. Further, the heat-obstructing effect of the partitioning plate causes the hot air not to condense in the second space, and thus it is not easy to generate a temperature difference from the external environment, thereby preventing the generation of mist.
