  • Patent number: 11728083
    Abstract: A magnetization device includes an outer casing, a base, a rotatable hood, an object-carrying seat, and a drive mechanism. The rotatable hood includes a receiving space. The rotatable hood has a circumferential wall that includes a pair of magnets mounted thereto, with one N pole and one S pole of the magnets being pointing toward the receiving space of the rotatable hood to induce magnetic lines of force and a magnetic field therebetween. The object-carrying seat is disposed in the receiving space of the rotatable hood to support a magnetized object. The drive mechanism drives the rotatable hood to rotate around and outside the magnetized object, such that the magnetized object is kept stationary and the magnets, and thus the magnetic lines of force and the magnetic field, are driven by the rotatable hood to rotate around the magnetized object.

  • Patent number: 11512851
    Abstract: A wick-burning and ventilation and flow-guide structure includes a wick tray, a heat isolation cover, and a wick. The heat isolation cover has support sections that are extended to form protrusion sections insertable into and mounted in mounting holes of the wick tray for secured combination and easy separation. The wick tray and the heat isolation cover provide a dual-layered heat isolation effect and also achieve an effect of heat dissipation. The wick is made of a metallic or ceramic material and has a surface over which a flame-blocking heat-isolating sleeve is fit to prevent downward spreading of flaming. A wind-shielding hood is provided on the fuel container to define therebetween a flow-guide opening for smooth ingress of air, preventing flaming from jumping.

  • Patent number: 10739036
    Abstract: A heater structure includes a heater body including a burner connected to a valve switch. A pilot fire assembly is covered by a protective cover that has ventilation holes. A switch unit includes an ignition switch, a shut-down switch, an ignition operator, and a shut-down operator. The ignition operator and the shut-down operator are structured to provide a swingable arrangement. The ignition operator may be operated to contact and press the fuel gas valve rod and the ignition switch to open the valve switch for supply fuel gas to the burner and to activate an ignition circuit to cause successive shootings of an ignition pin of the pilot fire assembly to set a flame on the burner. The shut-down operator is operated to contact and press the shut-down switch, so as to cut off a signal of the thermocouple and thus cut off the supply of the fuel gas.

  • Patent number: 9383050
    Abstract: A quick removal fitting includes a female coupling part, a male coupling part, and a retention clip. The female coupling part includes a flange. The male coupling part (which can be for example a water pipe) has an end forming a divergent opening and includes a protrusion ring mounted thereto and a movable ring movably arranged thereon. The retention clip is made of an elastic material and is selectively set to clamp, in a removable manner, the flange of the female coupling part and the movable ring together. The retention clip that is set to removably clamp the female coupling part and the male coupling part together at a connection therebetween helps simplify assembly/disassembly and replacement. The movable ring that is movably arranged on the male coupling part helps eliminate a mounting operation involving welding.

  • Publication number: 20120132085
    Abstract: Disclosed is a cooking grid that is positionable on a top opening of a grill. The grid includes a frame, a plurality of bars, and a shield section. The bars and the shield section are arranged inside the frame, and the bars form therebetween a plurality of openings. The shield section is arranged to correspond in position to a burner unit set up inside the grill, whereby when the cooking grid receives foodstuffs positioned thereon for grilling, the shield section provides a shielding function that prevents liquid substances of grease and juice of the grilled foodstuffs and sauce applied to the foods from dropping on the burner unit to cause flaming and smoke, and thermal energy emitting from the burner unit is directly applied to the cooking grid to thereby provide functions of health, environmental protection, and energy conservation.

  • Publication number: 20120024166
    Abstract: A smoke-free roaster includes a roaster body having a bottom to which a grease collection tray is mounted, a roasting grating mounted on a top of the roaster body, and a heating structure mounted inside the roaster body. The roasting grating includes grating bars, between which solid sloping plates are formed and gently inclined downward from front and rear side edges in a direction along the grating bars toward a central portion of the roaster body and the heating structure comprises reflector assemblies, which includes heating modules respectively mounted below the sloping plates and respectively receive therein carbon fiber heating tubes that irradiate and thus heat the roasting grating and comprise electrical terminals forming power supply connection modules. The sloping plates increase the surface area on the two opposite sides of the roaster body for heat transfer and heat accumulation thereby raising roasting temperature on the two side portions.
