Publication number: 20240142210Abstract: A dustproof counter device of a measuring wheel has a base, a counter, and a pedal setting component. The base has a component opening formed through a top of the base and a dustproof flange protruding from the base and surrounding the component opening. The counter is disposed in the base and has a zeroing button extending into the component opening of the base. The pedal setting component has a dustproof cap covering and surrounding the dustproof flange of the base, and abutting against the zeroing button. When the pedal setting component is pressed by a user's foot, dust is kept from dropping into the base by the dustproof cap.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 31, 2022Publication date: May 2, 2024Inventor: Yin-Wu Lai

Publication number: 20210102804Abstract: An automatic electronic rangefinder has a central processing unit determining whether the rangefinder is perpendicular or parallel to a horizontal plane; a ranging module electrically connected to the central processing unit to detect the distance to a first target object to be measured; an inertial sensing unit electrically connected to the central processing unit to measure the angle between the lengthwise edge of the rangefinder and the horizontal plane; and a shell covering the central processing unit. When the central processing unit determines that the rangefinder is parallel or perpendicular to the horizontal plane, the central processing unit controls the ranging module to measure the distance between the rangefinder and the first target object.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 2, 2019Publication date: April 8, 2021Inventor: Yin-Wu Lai

Patent number: 9726760Abstract: A dual-directional laser rangefinder has a housing with two laser modules and one control module mounted therein. The laser modules emit laser beams toward both sides of the housing and receive the reflected laser beams. The control module computes respectively travel times or the phase differences for the two laser beams from the laser modules, and then computes two distances from the two ends of the housing to the two objects of interest. After adding the length of the housing, the invention obtains an actual total distance between the two objects of interest.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 2014Date of Patent: August 8, 2017Assignee: TRISON GLOBAL COMPANY LIMITEDInventor: Yin-Wu Lai

Patent number: 9696516Abstract: A vehicle repair hand tool has a handle, a connecting rod, a connecting unit and a working unit. The connecting rod is connected with the handle. The connecting unit is connected with the connecting rod and has an engagement hole. The working unit is connected with the connector and has a base, an engagement unit and a working body. The base has a sliding recess and a recess opening formed in a bottom of the sliding recess. The engagement unit is mounted in the sliding recess and has a sliding block slidably mounted in the sliding recess. The engagement unit further has an engagement ball mounted in the recess opening, sheltered by the sliding block, and selectively engaged in the engagement hole. The working body is mounted on the base.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2014Date of Patent: July 4, 2017Assignee: TRISON GLOBAL COMPANY LIMITEDInventor: Yin-Wu Lai

Patent number: 8572861Abstract: A pivotal measuring wheel includes a handle set, a handle rod, a pivotal rod, a wheel seat, a wheel and a cable. The handle rod has a hollow handle seat and an arc-contoured first pivotal body. The first pivotal body has a first space and a first semicircular hole communicating with the first space. The pivotal rod has a hollow joint seat and an arc-contoured second pivotal body for connecting to the first pivotal body. The second pivotal body has a second space and a second semicircular hole communicating with the second space. The second space selectively communicates with the first space. The second semicircular hole selectively aligns and communicates with the first semicircular hole. The handle seat is freely pivotable relative to the joint seat without disturbing the cable.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2011Date of Patent: November 5, 2013Inventor: Yin-Wu Lai

Patent number: 8573795Abstract: A warning lamp has a first assembling member, a second assembling member, a clamping space, an illuminating unit and a battery unit. The first assembling member is pervious to light and has a concave clamping section. The second assembling member is detachably and securely connected with the first assembling member and has a concave pressing section. The clamping space is formed between the pressing section and the clamping section and is capable of receiving a bar. The illuminating unit and the battery unit are securely mounted in the first assembling member. Because the second assembling member is detachably and securely connected with the first assembling member, the warning lamp can clamp different objects at different positions of the objects.Type: GrantFiled: July 3, 2012Date of Patent: November 5, 2013Inventor: Yin-Wu Lai
