  • Patent number: 7174573
    Abstract: The decorative multiple layered hat has multiple layers. The multiple layers are made of different materials, have different structures and features, are joined together sequentially to form a shape with a surface by different layers being exposed so the hat has an appealing appearance and raises people's interests and include an outer layer, a ventilative layer, a mesh layer, a fabric layer and an outer surface. The outer area has cutout areas. The ventilative layer is bonded to the outer area and has multiple perforations through which air flows. The mesh layer is a mesh through which air flows to keep a person's head cool and is bonded to the ventilative layer. The inner layer is bonded to the mesh layer, touches a person's skin and is a soft fabric so the hat is comfortable. The outer surface has patterns formed by the cutouts in the outer layer.

  • Patent number: 7097218
    Abstract: A locking device applies to a casing having a cover and a seat for opening and closing of the casing. The locking device has a recess formed on an edge of the seat, a buckle downwards protruding from the cover and matching the recess, and a roller parallel-disposed in the recess and pivoted to the seat. The buckle has an arcuate face smoothly against an upper slot of the roller for closing and opening the casing. A direction of lifting of the cover corresponds to a rotation of the roller so that a direction of applied force can be continuously unchanged to achieve an ergonomic effect.
