Solar powered mosquito-repellent
WangXiYun
Shan Yan Middle School Jinghai county of Tianjin
Tel: 0861-022-68923097
The mosquito rep-elling equipment developed works with the help of solar energy stored in the batteries. As a result, even without sunlight, the device can repel the pests for eight hours with the stored energy.
An insect repellent light system (JP2003284482, 2003-10-07) constituted by connecting an insect repellent light equipped with many yellow LEDs with a solar cell electricity-generating device equipped with solar cells and a battery.
Drip-preventing umbrella
Water drips from the top of umbrella, making the ground wet and stained during rainy days. To solve the problem, the innovator has attached a small bottle on the top of umbrella that can collect the dripping water.
The invention(US5495866, 1996-03-05) provides an umbrella drip water collector to be attached to the ferrule of an umbrella and to collect drip water from the umbrella when the umbrella is collapsed.
Linker for broken saw blades
A linker can be attached to a saw. In case the blade is broken, the linker can hold on the ruptured blade, so the saw can still be used.
A different apparatus for joining broken hack saw blades (RU2055705, 1996-03-10) is available
A battery box without poles
The battery box made by the innovator is unique, for it has no poles. One does not have to worry about which direction (positive or negative) to orient your battery in. All you have to do is just put the batteries into the box, and the system will adjust itself.
A non-polar battery storage device (JP5021047, 1993-01-29) facilitates prevention of trouble due to battery loading mistakes, by symmetrically arranging a lead unit such that electrode leads, containing dedicated armatures for contacting only positive electrodes or negative electrodes, respectively.
Wood-conserving plane
A lot of wood gets wasted in the process of smoothening the surface of wooden articles. The innovator has suggested that the blades of the plane should be assembled tightly, so that it will produce fewer wood shavings when used. This would mean more wood saved and also lesser chances for the plane to be clogged.
Drip-preventing brush
Now you would not have to clean your floor for stains each time you paint your house. The brush designed by the innovator has a tilted handle, and there is a “cup” assembled under the brush’s head. While painting a ceiling or upper portions of the walls, the paint drip will be collected by the “cup” and would not stain our hands, clothes or the floor.
A device for applying paint onto surfaces (US2003126712, 2003-07-10) especially ceilings and/or walls exists.
Innovative pruning saw
One of the most commonly encountered problems while pruning branches with the help of a pruning saw is that the cut branch often slides away. The saw designed by the innovator has one of the blades different from the normal ones’. There are two saw-teeth on the edge. When we cut the branches, the saw can hold them and prevent them from sliding.
Special raincoat for bicycles
Zhang Runshan
No. 1 Hu Jing Road Nankai District Tianjin
Tel: 0861-022-85663007
The innovator has made a special raincoat for cycle drivers. An uncorked cirque has been attached below the hat and placed outside the neckline. It would make turning head left or right convenient and facilitate a clear view of the surroundings.
A similar invention CN2595196Y (2003-12-31) is reported.
A short-circuit detector
FengZhuo
No.43 Middle School of Tianjin
Tel: 13512851243
This invention can inspect several power supply networks at the same time. When some part is cut off, it can protect the whole building. Moreover, all electric equipments will not be damaged due to faulty working of one.
This invention won a gold medal at the Beijing International Invention Exhibition as well as a gold medal at Tianjin Invention Exhibition in 1996.
A power distribution network short circuit detector (1.x) system has displays (6) for the first over-current pulse and separate displays (7) for other pulses using a time gate that is longer than the shorter supply protective device (2) reset time (tza) but less than the longer supply
reset time (tzb) (DE20310361U, 2003-09-11).
Swimsuit for learners
Dong Qi
No. 17 Dansu Road Heping District, Tianjin
Tel: 13920096128(US5495866, 1996-03-05).
This swimsuit can change its buoyancy so as to help learners master the skill. There are two parts in the swimsuit. The main body is made of tarp with some pockets in the front and rear to hold empty plastic bottles. The floating part also consists of empty plastic bottles. There are two ways to change the buoyancy: either by changing the number of bottles or by filling bottles with some water.
Attention: The capsule must be tightened to be safe.
Gas stove for the blind
LuDaMing
Yanshan middle school Jixian of Tianjin
Tel:13821119995
The traditional gas cooking stoves in the markets can not be lit in a single ignition. It is not only a waste of gas, but also very dangerous to blind people. The innovator has, therefore, made a modification in the traditional stove. He has used the gas electromagnetic valve to control the escape of gas and has set up a micro-electric motor to control the amount of the gas released in each turn. He has also attached a sound circuit in the stove, which will use a voice signal to warn blind people of any leakage and chances of fire.
This gas cooking stove is not only convenient to operate, but also lights in a single ignition and ensures a longer cylinder life. It has been tested for a year and passed the tests of the relevant departments.
Magnetic Tool rack
ChenHaiLong
Yanshan middle school Jixian of Tianjin
Tel:13821119995
Chen Hai Long has made an innovative rack con-taining two parts. One is for the iron-made or steel-made tools and another for non-magnetic articles. There are many pieces of powerful magnets on the magnetic parts, and the tools can easily be attached to it and are ready for use when required.
The invention (US6719155, 2004-04-13) provides a magnetic tool rack that includes a magnet container to receive small-size magnets therein and thereby has an integral and pleasant appearance.
Environment protection:
Melon seeds bag
DuJinSong
Yanshan middle school Jixian of Tianjin
Tel:13821119995
Melon seeds are enjoyed throughout the world but people throw away the seeds and skin on roads making it an unpleasurable sight. So the innovator has designed a special bag with two bags inside it, one for the melon seeds, and the other for the skins. After consuming the melons, the bag can be conveniently thrown in the bins preventing litter.
Automatic water dispenser
LiuHaiYang
Yanshan middle school Jixian of Tianjin
Tel:13821119995
The traditional infrared rays based water dispensers have their own disadvantages: they get stained easily, are hard to repair and have a short lifetime. Liu HaiYang has launched a switch in the market. It works stably and consumes low energy. Any subject approaching the switch will change the capacitance. An electromagnetic valve controlled by this capacitance change will operate the dispenser.
Innovative music stand
ZangXuBin
No. 1 middle school of Tianjin
Tel:022-81988848
This music stand can be run by foot operated switch so that the music book can be turned clockwise or anticlockwise. It can be used in dance hall with alternating current or on the stage with direct current. It is able to turn the pages of the books as required without using the player's hands.
A similar invention relates to an automatic music stand, which is provided to turn over leaves of music book in an accurate manner by permitting the operating plate to move in left and right directions. (KR20020064595, 2002-08-09)
The auto-switch desk lamp
WuJiang
Yanshan middle school Jixian of Tianjin
Tel:13821119995
Sometimes it is difficult for us to turn on the lamp in the dark and a lot of energy is wasted if it is turned on for long. The auto-switch desk lamp is designed to solve these problems. A heat-inductor is added in the lamp, when people stand around it, whether moving or standing still, the lamp will be turned on automatically. There is a time-delay unit in the inductor which will keep the lamp on,
one minute after people leave and then turns off automatically. It will not only solve the energy wastage problem but also make turning the switch on in dark, possible.
An automatic illumination lamp with light source and occupancy sensor (KR100682591B, 2007-02-07) is available. |
