  • Patent number: 6189590
    Abstract: An improved disk label sticking device includes an annular label bearing seat configured to have a lower side pressing against elastic elements on a movable base below. The edges of the label-bearing seat are formed with guide flanges extending into slanting guide slots of a base. Furthermore, the label-bearing seat is centrally provided with a circular through hole having guide slots or guide tracks on its edges. A circular receiving seat has a guide track or guide groove that matches the circular through hole and presses against a central elastic element on the lower base. The receiving seat can be slidably inserted into the through hole. An adhesive-backed annular label can be placed reversely on the label-bearing seat, and a compact disk or an optical disk can be placed reversely on the receiving seat. When the receiving seat is pressed to displace downwardly, the disk will adhere to the label.

  • Patent number: 5903645
    Abstract: A clamping device for mobile phones includes a fork-shaped link pivotally connected to a clamp seat at either end. Each clamp seat has a lateral side provided with slanting rack teeth. An elastic securing seat is disposed adjacent to the rack teeth and has stop elements for projecting into the rack teeth to force the clamp seats to displace only inwardly to be positioned in place. The securing seat further has slanting notches at its ends. A press rod provided with corresponding slanting notches is passed through the notches of the securing seat. By pressing the press rod, the securing seat is urged to displace rearwardly, bring the stop elements to disengage from the rack teeth. Due to the action of compression springs, the clamp seats are caused to instantly extend to clamp mobile phones of various sizes and types.
