  • Publication number: 20080184557
    Abstract: A surface mounting device and method for fabricating a printed circuit board (PCB) are provided. The device includes at least one pair of surface mounters, a feed conveyor for transporting a PCB to be fed to the surface mounters, a discharge conveyor for transporting a PCB to be discharged from the surface mounters and an elevator provided between the surface mounters, the elevator transporting a PCB discharged from one of the surface mounters to the discharge conveyor, and feeding a PCB transported by the feed conveyor to another one of the surface mounters. In a surface mounting device for a PCB configured as described above, each of the multiple surface mounters completes an assembly operation of integrated circuit chips on one PCB. Even when a failure or a malfunction occurs in one of the surface mounters, other surface mounters can normally continue an assembly operation because a feed and a discharge path of a PCB are set to bypass other surface mounters.

  • Patent number: 7290678
    Abstract: A cup holder for a vehicle has a rotation type support structure. The cup holder includes a support member which can rotate horizontally around a rotary shaft of a surrounding portion of a container insertion member and closely contact the outer surface of a beverage container inserted into a container insertion member. A locking member fixes the support member at a predetermined rotation angle on the rotary shaft using a button installed on the support member. The cup holder of the present invention can stably support a beverage container of various sizes. In addition, rattling noise as well as beverage spill that might occur during a shaky movement of a beverage container can be effectively prevented.

  • Publication number: 20070187195
    Abstract: A glove box lamp switch is installed to a glove box damper including a damper cylinder at an end of which is connected to one side of an inner portion of an instrument panel and a damper piston is connected to one end of a glove box. The glove box damper is configured such that the total length varies depending on the opening and closing of the glove box and is filled with air so as to absorb an impact generated during opening and closing operations of the glove box of a vehicle. The glove box lamp includes a first terminal installed at one side of an interior of the damper cylinder and a semicircular shaped second terminal which installed to a stopping flange formed at one end of the damper piston thereby selectively contacting the first terminal by movement of the damper piston.
