  • Patent number: 11143161
    Abstract: A wind power generation device includes a wind blocking structure, which is in a box-shaped structure fixed on ground by a bottom plane thereof; a wind vane rotating body including a rotating shaft and vanes fixed on the rotating shaft and arranged at equal angle intervals, wherein the rotating shaft is mounted on two bearings of the wind blocking structure, and the vanes are rotatable inside the box-shaped structure; a power generator connected to the rotating shaft and fixed on the box-shaped structure by a linking plate. When wind blows to the wind blocking structure to rotate the wind vane rotating body, the power generator is driven by the rotating shaft to generate electrical power. The wind power generation device can include at least two wind vane rotating bodies, or area enlarging structures added on the vanes, to increase windward areas of the vanes.

  • Patent number: 7431528
    Abstract: A telescopic handwriting pen for PDA or cellular phone. In one embodiment, the pen comprises tubelike inner, intermediate, and outer sections and first and second coupling assemblies fitted in front ends of the inner and intermediate sections. Either coupling assembly includes annular grooves with O-rings put thereon, an annular recess between the grooves filled with lubricating oil, and a rear extension secured to the inner or intermediate section. A writing head is fitted in a front end of the outer section and comprises a channel in fluid communication with the external and inside of the second coupling assembly. Stop mechanisms are provided in rear ends of the outer and intermediate sections for preventing an inside section from disengaging another section while sliding therein. The pen can carry out a smooth sliding and has a balanced weight.
