9. A method of manufacturing a hand-thrown toy parachute comprising a canopy, a hollow stick, a plurality of rigging lines which suspend the hollow stick from the canopy substantially at the center thereof, a weight which is enclosed in the hollow stick to be movable back and forth in the longitudinal direction of the stick under gravity, and a guide line which is connected to the top of the hollow stick at one end of the guideline and to the center of the canopy at the other end of the guideline, the method comprising the steps of
forming the stick in a stick nose portion, a cylindrical stick body, and a stick grip portion by a tube of light-weight resin,
placing the weight in the stick body to be movable back and forth in the longitudinal direction of the stick body under gravity, and sealing the opposite ends of the stick body by heat forming a stopper on opposite ends thereof,
rounding the upper end of the stick nose portion and expanding the lower end portion of the same,
forming a grip on the lower end portion of the stick grip portion and expanding the upper end portion of the same,
force-fitting one end portion of the stick body in the expanded lower end portion of the stick nose portion,
force-fitting the other end portion of the stick body in the expanded upper end portion of the stick grip portion, and
smoothing the junctions between the stick nose portion and the stick body and between the stick grip portion and the stick body,
thereby forming the stick which is suitably balanced in weight.
10. A method as defined in claim 9 further comprising the steps of
coating an upper peripheral surface of the stick body with adhesive,
preparing a harness which is formed of light and flexible film and has a plurality of radial arms and in which nicks are cut to extend from the center of the harness,
preparing a harness mounting jig comprising a harness mounting table having a circular and horizontal upper surface and a tubular portion which vertically extends downward from the center of the harness mounting table,
spreading the harness over the harness mounting table of the harness mounting jig with the center of the nicked portion of the harness aligned with the center of the tubular portion of the harness mounting jig,
pressing a retainer plate having a central opening against the surface of the harness mounting table with its central opening aligned with the tubular portion to hold the harness therebetween, and
inserting the stick into the tubular portion of the harness mounting jig so that triangular portion of the harness defined by the nicks are bonded to the outer peripheral surface of the stick by the adhesive.
11. A method as defined in claim 9 further comprising the steps of
preparing a stringing jig comprising a canopy stringing table for connecting one ends of the rigging lines to the canopy, a harness stringing table for connecting the other ends of the rigging lines to the harness and a stick holding tube provided on the harness stringing table at the center thereof, the canopy stringing table being rotatable and the harness stringing table being supported above the canopy stringing table with its axis aligned with the axis of the canopy stringing table,
spreading and placing the canopy on the canopy stringing table and bonding one ends of the rigging lines which have been cut in the same lengths to the canopy by adhesive in sequence, while intermittently rotating the canopy stringing table,
inserting the stick body provided with the nose portion and the harness into the stick holding tube from the nose portion so that the arms of the harness are radially projected from the fixed stick body, and
connecting the other ends of the rigging lines the one ends of which have been connected to the canopy to the respective arms of the harness.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
1. A storage structure for an electronic device, comprising
a storage base;
a cover part for covering the storage base to form a storage space between the storage base and the cover part, so as to receive the electronic device in the storage space;
at least one pivot member disposed on one end of the storage base and the cover part, the pivot member comprising an elastic unit and a buffer unit, wherein the elastic unit is pivotally disposed between the storage base and the cover part, so as to allow the cover part to pivotally turn in relation to the storage base by means of resilience provided by the elastic unit, and the buffer unit is connected to the storage base and the cover part, so as to limit a degree of turning of the cover part; and
