20100114702ASK/RESPOND AFFINITY GROUP REFERRAL METHOD AND APPARATUS - An ask/respond affinity group referral method and apparatus comprises a community of individuals having an implied social contract, where the individuals are affiliated with each other to provide assistance and help to each other. In such community, the individuals do not know each other, but are joined together to help each other around a common interest. In such community, any individual may ask everybody else a question and the others can each respond. The community is specifically directed to mothers in every phase of their relationship, i.e. grandmothers, single mothers, mothers with husbands in Iraq, mothers with children, mothers without children, et cetera and is, therefore, directed to all kinds of phases and special needs of mothers. An interactive timeline tool serves to record information about their children, to anticipate future child development needs, and to collaborate with other members of the ask/respond affinity group having similar parenting experiences.05-06-2010

20090026105EXHIBITION DEVICE FOR REVERSAL SPANNERS - An exhibition device for reversal spanners comprises a suspending plate having a buckling hole; a periphery of the buckling hole being formed with a notch so as to form as a confining unit; an inner side of the confining unit having a plurality of limiting teeth, and a seat; a connecting unit extending from the seat; the connecting unit being rotatably buckled to the buckling hole; a ratchet portion being formed on a surface of the connecting unit; the ratchet portion being not aligned to the notch; and the ratchet portion being engageable to the limiting teeth.01-29-2009
20090042484SURFACE GRINDING PROCESS AND POSITIONING MEMBER FOR SECURING MOVABLE JAW OF ADJUSTABLE WRENCH DURING SURFACE GRINDING PROCESS - A positioning member is used to position the movable jaw to the sliding groove of the adjustable wrench and the adjustable wrench together with the positioning member are applied by vibrate grinding technology so as to make the outer surface of the movable jaw to be a mirror surface and the rod of the movable jaw is kept as the surface condition after being machine. The tolerance between the rod and the sliding groove is controlled within expected range.02-12-2009
20100071516RECIPROCATABLE OPEN END WRENCH - A reciprocatable open end wrench comprises a swing member allowing to slide relative to a concave arcuate surface of a second jaw, the radius of a convex arcuate surface of the swing member is equal to that of a concave arcuate surface of the second jaw, and between the concave arcuate surface and the convex arcuate surface is provided with an engagement structure having a slot member and a peripheral protrusion so as to engage with each other. Besides, the reciprocatable open end wrench further includes a stop portion for resisting against the torque of the swing member, thereby enhancing the strength and preventing the related components to be damaged.03-25-2010

20080245196Monkey Wrench - A monkey wrench includes a handle, a head, stationary jaw, a movable jaw and a jaw-moving element. The head is formed at an end of the handle and made with a side, a groove in the side and an opening in communication with the groove. The stationary jaw is formed on the head and made with a first nut-contacting face, a second nut-contacting face next to the first nut-contacting face, a bulge on the first nut-contacting face and a recess next to the bulge. The movable jaw is movably disposed in the groove and formed with a nut-contacting face and a bulge on the nut-contacting face thereof. The jaw-moving element is disposed in the opening and engaged with the movable jaw so that the jaw-moving element is operable to move the movable jaw relative to the stationary jaw.10-09-2008
20080295652DRIVING SURFACE CONFIGURATION FOR HAND TOOLS - A wrench includes a handle and an open-end with two jaws and each jaw has a driving surface. Each driving surface has a contacting area and two yielding areas. The contacting area is located between the two yielding areas and includes a contact portion and two notches. The contact portion is located between the two notches, and two extension areas each are connected between the yielding area and the notch corresponding thereto. A corner is formed at a joint area of the contact portion and an inside of the notch so as to bite a rounded fastener head. The contact portions are matched with straight sides of a normal fastener head.12-04-2008
20080314208ADJUSTABLE SPANNER WITH ELECTRONIC STRAIN GAUGE FUNCTION - An adjustable spanner with electronic strain gauge function which comprises a head; an fixed jaw extending from the head; and sliding groove being transversally formed at one upper side of the head; a handle connected to a lower side of the head; at least one strain gauge; a hollow connecting tube having one end connected to the handle; the hollow connecting tube being installed with an output display device; a clamping surface of the moveable jaw and a clamping surface of the fixed jaw being formed as a working area for clamping a screw device; and a positioning portion being installed on the moveable jaw and at a non-working area below the working area; the position portion facing toward a clamping opening between the clamping surfaces of the moveable jaw and fixed jaw; and the positioning portion being capable of resisting against the screw device.12-25-2008
20110120273REVERSIBLE OPEN END WRENCH HAVING RETAINING PROPERTY - A reversible open end wrench includes a handle, a head and a retainer. The head includes a first jaw, a second jaw and an extension section. The jaws and the extension section define a driving area therebetween. The first jaw has a first engaging surface and a distal end. The second jaw has a second engaging surface. The horizontal distance between the two engaging surfaces is s. The retainer is disposed on the distal end and has a retaining end extending toward the driving area. The retaining end is movable between a first position and a second position. As the retaining end locates at the first position, the horizontal distance between the retaining end and the second engaging surface is smaller than s. As the retaining end locates at the second position, the horizontal distance between the retaining end and the second engaging surface is no smaller than s.05-26-2011

20110120277REVERSIBLE MONKEY WRENCH - A reversible monkey wrench includes a handle, a head, a slidable jaw, an axial rod and a worm gear. The handle has a connecting end for the head to abut thereagainst. The head is formed with a fixed jaw, a sliding rail, a receiving slot and a connecting bore. The connecting bore communicates with the receiving slot. A movable pin and a spring are disposed between the connecting end and the head. A top of the movable pin selectively inserts through the connecting bore. The spring urges the movable pin so that the movable pin may abut against the connecting end. The worm gear is adapted to control the slidable jaw to move and is slidably disposed in the receiving slot with respect to the axial rod. The movable pin selectively abuts against the worm gear to prohibit the worm gear from sliding.05-26-2011
