Abstract: In a high frequency flip chip package process of a polymer substrate and a structure thereof, the structure is a one-layer structure packaged by a high frequency flip chip package process to overcome the shortcomings of a conventional two-layer structure packaged by the high frequency flip chip package process. The conventional structure not only incurs additional insertion loss and return loss in its high frequency characteristic, but also brings out a reliability issue. Thus, the manufacturing process of a ceramic substrate in the conventional structure still has the disadvantages of a poor yield rate and a high cost.

The rack portions are telescopically attached to one another so as to permit displacement therebetween when the support legs scissor apart during folding. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the telescopic interconnection between the rack portions includes three rod members extending from one rack portion which slidably engage with complimentary cylindrical tubes formed on the other rack portion. The present invention also contemplates an upper rack slidably attached to the ironing table near its heel through rails slidably disposed within rail guides located on the bottom of the ironing table.

Abstract: An ironing table (40) has an ironing board (41) which is perforated by a number of bores. A vacuum pump or suction fan is mounted in a housing (47) adjacent the board (41) and can communicate with a chamber (46) disposed below the board (41). The pump or fan operate to lower the pressure in the chamber (46) thereby forming a pressure gradient between top and bottom surfaces of the ironing board (41) whereby steam will be positively drawn from an iron through the garment being ironed, into the bores and into the chamber (46). The steam will condense on the relatively cooler walls of the chamber (46) and will drain to one end due to the inclined base of the chamber (46) and can be drained away after ironing via drainage tap.

Abstract: An ironing board attachment which is readily detachably mounted on a domestic ironing board having a pressing member with a pressing surface to support ironing supplies adjacent to the pressing surface including a yoke to be received on the pressing member and a basket for receiving such supplies and having a mounting to pivotally connect the basket to the yoke.

Abstract: An adjustable ironing table (11) includes a top board (12) and collapsible legs (14,16). The legs are retained in a stored position by a lock mechanism (60) that has a lock plate (68) spring biased to a locking position. A handle (72) can be operated to release the lock plate (68). The top board (12) has a mesh section (30) that has a stepped periphery (32) welded to a flange section (36) of a tubular frame member (35). The ends (37) of the frame member are affixed together by a bracket (41) welded to each end. A hanger rail (90) is pivotably mounted under the frame (34) to move between a stored position and a usable position. A pair of cord elevation devices (114) are mounted to the hanger rail (90).
