Abstract:
A supplemental air pressure providing device adapted for use with an inflatable object includes an oscillator responsible for generating magnetic field and vibrating a casing, an air compressing device responsible for compressing air and noise silencer mounted inside the air compressing device for reducing noise generated while compressed air flows through the air compressing device for inflating the inflatable object.
Abstract:
A method for preparing hexose derivatives comprises the steps of providing a silylated hexose, treating the silylated hexose with a first carbonyl compound in the presence of a catalyst to form an ketalized hexose, treating the ketalized hexose with a second carbonyl compound followed by treating with a first reductant to form an etherized hexose, and converting the etherized hexose into a target hexose derivative, which can be 2-alcohol hexose, 3-alcohol hexose, 4-alcohol hexose, or a 6-alcohol hexose. In particular, the present invention can prepare the hexose derivatives with highly regioselective scheme to protect individual hydroxyls of monosaccharide units and install an orthogonal protecting group pattern in a one-pot manner.
Abstract:
A controlling mechanism for an inflatable object has a valve controlling assembly for opening/closing operation of the valve, a pressure controlling assembly for sensing pressure difference to selectively activate operation of the valve and a linkage assembly interactively arranged between the valve controlling assembly and the pressure controlling assembly to sense operation of the pressure controlling assembly and consequently operate movement of the valve controlling assembly.
Abstract:
An automatic air nozzle includes a valve adapted to engage with a peripheral side face defining the air path inside the inflatable object. A linking element has a first end operably connected to the valve and a second end. A motor is operably connected to the second end of the linking element so as to drive the valve to move linearly relative to the inflatable object to open/close the air path automatically.
Abstract:
A buffer assembly includes a housing adapted to sealingly connected to the pressure switch and defining therein a chamber and an airway defined in a bottom face of the housing to communicate with an interior of the housing so as to communicate with an inlet of the pressure switch. Pressure change inside the inflatable product is transmitted to the pressure switch only after the pressure change passes through the chamber of the housing via the airway and the inlet of the pressure switch.
Abstract:
A swirling bathing tub includes a bathing tub, a water ejecting device mounted on an inner side face of the bathing tub and having at least one water outlet defined in the casing and a water inlet for connection with a water source, a water pump mounted inside the casing and having a water inflow pipe in communication with the water inlet and a water outflow pipe corresponding to the at least one water outlet, a baffle rotatably mounted inside the casing and having at least one through hole corresponding to the at least one water outlet so that water flowing through the water outflow pipe of the pump is able to selectively flow to the bathing tub to create a soothing massaging effect to the user.
Abstract:
A plastic product is fabricated from plastic sheets by heat sealing the plastic sheets to form an enclosure member. In order to strengthen the heat-sealed joints of the plastic sheets, the plastic sheets are thickened at portions where the heat-sealed joints are to be formed. Preferably, the heat-sealed joints are formed in such a manner that the cross-section of the heat-sealed joints is smaller than that of the thickened portions of the plastic sheet, thereby preventing effectively the non-thickened portions of the plastic sheets from being affected adversely by the heat sealing process.

Abstract:
A self-inflating mattress has a hollow body, an inflating valve, a deflating valve, a unidirectional valve and a foam material. The body has at least two chambers respectively serving as a primary chamber with a supporting chamber and a secondary chamber. The inflating and deflating valves are mounted on the body and communicate respectively with the primary and secondary chambers. The unidirectional valve is mounted on the supporting chamber, communicates with the supporting and secondary chambers and only allows air to flow from the primary chamber to the secondary chamber when open. The foam material is mounted in the primary chamber. The operation of the inflation/deflation of the primary and secondary chambers is implemented without an air pump and is convenient. Furthermore, the supporting chamber provides convenience for tightly fitting of the unidirectional valve without any leakage.
Abstract:
A foldable frame assembly includes a plurality of parallel frame members, each of which has left and right columns. A plurality of coupling units are alternately disposed with the frame members, and each includes first left and right connecting rods and second left and right connecting rods. Each of the first left and right connecting rods has a first upper rod end that is pivoted to the upper column end of a respective one of the left and right columns of one of two adjacent ones of the frame members, and a first lower rod end that is opposite to the first upper rod end. Each of the second left and right connecting rods has a second upper rod end that is pivoted to the upper column end of a respective one of the left and right columns of the other one of the two adjacent ones of the frame members, and a second lower rod end that is opposite to the second upper rod end and that is pivoted to the first lower rod end so as to permit folding and unfolding of the frame members relative to one another in the longitudinal direction.
