Abstract: Provided is an elevator safety apparatus for use by an elevator to prevent the elevator from free-falling in emergency conditions. The elevator safety apparatus is also capable of cutting off the power to the elevator's motor and triggering a beeper when it stops the elevator. In normal conditions of the elevator, a stopping bar is suspended due to a weight such that the engaging head of the stopping bar maintains a distance from stopping teeth provided on the guide rail that guides the elevator. And in emergency conditions when the elevator is subject to free-falling, the engaging head of the stopping bar is moved upwards by elastic force due to the loss of the gravitational force exerted by the weight during the free-falling, thereby coming into engagement with one of the stopping teeth and thus stopping the elevator. The elevator safety apparatus is simple in structure, having fewer movable parts so that it is more reliable.

Abstract: An illuminating device for safety illuminated shoe includes: a retaining base fixed in a transparent holder in a shoe heel for securing a printed circuit board on the retaining base, a restoring trigger switch formed in a laminate sheet of the printed circuit board by directly punching the laminate sheet for decreasing production cost to form a resilient blade member having an electrically conductive foil plated on a bottom of the resilient blade member, and a battery attached to a bottom of the printed circuit board with a negative pole of the battery positioned under the resilient blade member to be normally separated from the resilient blade member, whereby upon treading of the shoe to depress the resilient blade member downwardly to contact the electrically conductive foil with the negative pole of the battery for powering and illumiating the illuminators through the transparent holder in the shoe heel.

Abstract: A safety illuminated shoe includes a plurality of illuminators secured on a printed circuit board having a flip-flap trigger switch mounted on the printed circuit board and electrically connected between two poles of a power source of batteries packed under the printed circuit board for supporting the printed circuit board, whereby upon treading of the shoe to close two contacts of the flip-flap trigger switch, the illuminators will be lit up for a predetermined time period as controlled by an integrated circuit built on the printed circuit board, and since the two contacts of the flip-flap switch are normally restored by its self resilience and can then be separated each other to prevent unexpected power consumption of the batteries.

Abstract: A timing and talking game toy includes: a board casing have a plurality of baffles and lanes irregularly formed in the casing for running a ball in the lanes as guided or limited by the baffles from a starting point to a finishing point, a plurality of lamps juxtapositionally mounted on the board which are all lit up when starting the running of the ball and are subsequently switched off with respect to a lapse of time counted by a timing circuit of a central processing unit (CPU) and a talking integrated circuit controlled by the CPU for a voice speaking, indicating the status for running the ball to the finishing point corresponding to the number of the lamps being switched off within a pre-determined time period for interesting the game player.

Abstract: An audio educational game includes a housing having a peripheral circuit provided with a power source, a speaker or buzzer, and a plurality of trigger switches disposed on a fixed figure board on the housing with each trigger switch terminated at an access path on the fixed board; at least a replaceable recording insert having a talking integrated circuit mounted in the insert electrically connectable with the power source and the speaker of the peripheral circuit on the housing and having a plurality of trigger pins operatively connectable to the plurality of trigger switches provided on the housing when replaceably engaging the insert with a socket recessed in the housing, and a replaceable figure board adhered on the insert having a plurality of target figures drawn or printed on the replaceable figure board with each target figure correspondingly facing, or abutting to each access path formed or printed on the fixed figure board on the housing; and a magnetically attractive slide slidably movable on the f

Abstract: A musical candle includes: a candle having at least a draining trench recessed in the candle fluidically communicated with a central wick hole secured with a wick therein, a holder casing for mounting the candle in the casing and for storing a musical integrated circuit for a sounding operation of the musical candle in the casing, and a wax accumulator formed in the holder casing for collecting paraffin oil drained from a molten wax stream flowing through the trench in the candle, thereby preventing a drainage of molten oil from the candle wax towards a table surface for preventing an oil contamination on the table surface.

Abstract: A musical candle includes a longitudinal thermistor strip emedded in a candle juxtapositional and proximate to a wick which thermistor can sensitively actuated when burning or extinguishing the candle for starting or stopping sounding of a musical device mounted in a casing for holding the candle on the casing.

Abstract: An electronic badge includes a front plate having a plurality of illuminators formed therein and a pair of pins protruding rearwardly from the front plate electrically connected with two power input pins of a flasher integrated circuit formed in the front plate for driving and flashing the illuminators, and a button having at least a battery fixed in the button provided with two clips respectively connected with two poles of the battery for coupling the two pins and the front plate and for powering the illuminators for their flashing, whereby upon a disengagement of the two clips of the power source from their corresponding two pins, the power lead to the illuminators will be disconnected to switch off the illuminators.

Abstract: An alarming wallet includes: an alarm switch having two contactors respectively formed on two leaves of the wallet whereby upon a withdrawal of the wallet from an owner's pocket, the two contactors of the alarm circuit will be closed by a pickpocket's fingers to sound the alarm for alerting a wallet owner and preventing the theft of his or her wallet.

Abstract: A missing reminder for pocket article includes: a wallet for storing credit card or the like, a gravitational actuator clamped on the wallet and an alarming circuit which is operatively sensed when withdrawing the wallet from an owner's pocket by seating a weight disk of the actuator on a receiver to close two contacts of the alarming circuit formed on the receiver to sound the alarm and give warning to the wallet owner.

Abstract: A wallet includes a pair of leaves foldable upon each other having two longitudinal metallic strips adhered on a magnet strip formed on a right leaf of the two leaves, a plurality of card bags adapted for inserting credit cards, lift cards, etc. therein each bag having a lower opening, a metallic foil chip backed with a ferrous chip corresponding to the lower opening to be operatively contacted with two matallic strips formed on the right leaf adapted to complete an alarm circuit, and an alarm circuit having a light-emitting diode (LED), a sensitive photoresistor and a inert photoresistor subject to light exposure from the LED when closing the two leaves, whereby if any card is not inserted in the bag, the foil chip will be magnetically driven to contact the two metallic strips to close the alarm circuit and light LED to thereby increase a positive voltage through the inert photoresistor to start the sounding IC to remind the wallet owner for his or her possible missing of a card.
