20120067569	Well De-Liquefying System and Method - De-liquefying a well includes a steady state de-liquefying cycle which includes an initial step of pressurising the gas with a compressor. In an example embodiment, gas is delivered into the well down an outer tube. The gas displaces liquid within the well by pushing the liquid within tubes up another tube, as a liquid slug, to the surface. A sensor operates to sense the arrival of the liquid. A controller interrogates the sensor to determine whether a slug of liquid has arrived. If not, gas is continued to be delivered into the well. When the controller determines via the sensor that a slug of liquid has arrived, the controller operates to shut the delivery of gas to the well. This may be done either immediately upon detection of the slug or at some predetermined delay thereafter. To shut down the delivery of gas to the well, the controller opens a valve (in the event it was shut) to allow the compressor to discharge to a sales line. The controller also closes a valve and opens another valve to relieve pressure within the outer tube to the separator pressure. The controller then idles for a prescribed time delay before recommencing the cycle.	03-22-2012

20090121405	CLAMPING DEVICE - The present invention relates to a clamping device comprising an elongate support structure carrying a fixed jaw and a movable jaw and an advancing clamping mechanism mounted on the support structure for advancing the movable jaw toward the fixed jaw in a longitudinal direction. The clamping device further comprises a transportation mechanism for convenient transportation.	05-14-2009
20090165624	TABLE SAW - The present invention relates to a table saw having a stationary worktable having a work surface, a base for supporting the worktable, a motor-driven cutting device mounted between the worktable and base and at least one auxiliary support device disposed beside the worktable. The auxiliary support device is pivotal relative to the stationary table and the auxiliary support device can be converted between a extended position and a folded position. The auxiliary support device pivots upwardly when it converts from the extended position to the folded position and provides adequate support for making accurate cuts and is convenient to store or transport.	07-02-2009
20100232896	DRILL PRESS - A drill press including a base, a column mounted on the base, and a head assembly connected to the column. Wherein the head assembly includes a power device and a drill bit rotatably driven by the power device, the drill press further includes first and second worktables, and a changeover mechanism disposed between the first and the second worktables for selectively securing the first or second worktable located at working position. The changeover mechanism can alternatively rapidly adjust the first and the second worktables to working position so as to permit the operator to select either the first worktable or the second worktable according to the shape of workpiece, saving the trouble of a special tooling disassembly.	09-16-2010
20110167586	Industrial Dust Collector - An industrial dust collector comprises a frame body, a suction device attached to the frame body, a suction device attached to the suction device. The frame body has a containing cavity for containing the suction device. A supporting device is disposed between the suction device and the frame body for the suction device being movably attached to the frame body, so that the suction device can move between an unfolding status and a containing status. In the unfolding status, the suction device is unfolded relative to the containing cavity; in the containing status, the suction device is contained in the containing cavity. Therefore, the industrial dust collector has the advantages of small packaging size, convenient transportation and low transportation cost.	07-14-2011
20110179925	MITER SAW - A miter saw comprises a worktable; a first support member attached to the worktable; a second support member attached to the first support member; a saw unit pivotally connected to the second support member via a pivot; and a matching mechanism disposed between the first support member and the second support member, the matching mechanism is operated to cause the second support member to move with respect to the first support member, and the second support member is moved to reach a plurality of predetermined working positions to perform cutting operation. Thus, the cutting capacity of the miter saw is improved for the miter saw being able to cut workpieces with more specifications.	07-28-2011
20110271810	TABLE SAW - A table saw including a base, a work table on the base, a slot defined through the work table, a saw blade extending through the slot, and an optic indicating device located beneath the work table including at least one light emitter. The light beam of the light emitter parallels to the plane of the saw blade. The cutting position and the obliquity of the saw blade indicated by the optic indicating device.	11-10-2011
20110308368	MITER SAW - The present invention relates to a miter saw, including a base, a work table, a saw unit pivotally mounted on the base, and fence assembly connected to the base. The fence assembly is directly removably mounted on the base so as not to cause space between the two fences, thus promoting cutting precision and making simple structures at a lower cost. The fences having different heights are interchangeably used, which increases inclined cutting angles.	12-22-2011
20120005905	Vegetation Trimmer - A vegetation pruning device includes a cutting element; a guide bar for supporting the cutting element, the guide bar having a guide bar plane, the guide bar being pivotable in the guide bar plane about a fixed axis; a motor having a motor shaft for rotatably driving the cutting element; a motor housing for receiving the motor; a guiding mechanism connected to the motor housing, the guiding mechanism having a longitudinal axis; a handle assembly operable to move linearly along the longitudinal axis; and a transmission device for connecting the handle assembly to the guide bar through, the transmission device converting a linearly movement of the handle assembly to a pivoting movement of the guide bar, the cutting element thereby approaching or withdrawing from a workpiece to be sawn.	01-12-2012
20120110863	VEGETATION PRUNING DEVICE - The present invention discloses a vegetation pruning device comprising a main body; a cutting element; a guide bar for supporting the cutting element; a motor for driving the cutting element; a first handle assembly; a second handle assembly; a locking mechanism for detachably securing the second handle assembly to the first handle assembly; a connecting mechanism being positioned between the first handle assembly and the guide bar; the first handle assembly or the second handle assembly being operable to move linearly toward to or away from the guide bar, the connecting mechanism is provided to change the linearly movement of the first or the second handle assembly to the pivoting of the guide bar. Both of the first handle assembly and the second handle assembly are moving linearly, which makes the operator feel comfortable in any working instance.	05-10-2012

20100180778	SLICING DEVICE - A food slicing device includes a container for containing a food product for slicing. The container has an open bottom end and is arranged so that a food product can be fed by gravity in a direction towards the bottom end. A movable slicer is provided as well as driving means to move the slicer. Supporting means support the food product contained within the container. The supporting means includes at least two supports, a first of the supports having a fixed position relative to the container and a second of the supports being movable with the slicer. The second support being arranged to slide across a downward facing surface of the food product as the slicer slices through the food product. The supporting means is arranged so that as the slicer slices through the food product, the food product slice can fall away from the food product under gravity.	07-22-2010
