    摘要: A support structure that may be used as a seat, table or step stool has a top panel substantially 10".times.18" secured between two angled panels substantially 10" above the floor. A pair of normally vertical support members extend between the end panels in contact with the bottom of the top panel and are each formed with a groove that accommodates a tension rod fastened between the end panels. A handle opening is formed near the top of each end panel. The end panels are formed with legs that project beyond the projection of the top panel as seen from the top, both longitudinally and transversely.

    摘要: A linkage assembly includes a first link connected at a first point to a translation mechanism attached to a support structure. The translation mechanism is arranged to allow the first point of the first link to translate along a substantially straight axis. A second link is pivotally connected at a first point to the support structure, and at a second point to the first link. A second point of the first link travels on or near an arc of substantially constant finite radius when the first link pivots with respect to the second link.

    摘要: A jewel case for a compact laser disc consists of a transparent hinged case and a disc holder received inside the case. The case is hingeably movable between a closed position wherein the case defines an interior cavity and an edge opening, and an open position wherein the interior cavity is exposed. The disc holder includes a spine adjacent the hinge edge which merges outwardly from a central portion thereof in a generally U-shaped configuration to form a pair of spaced arms. The disc holder further includes a raised shoulder extending in an arcuate contour around the arms and the spine with the arcuate contour opening outwardly toward the edge opening. The raised shoulder cooperates with the arms and spine to define a ledge which supports the edge margin of the disc while the raised shoulder engages the side edges of the disc. The raised shoulder extends in an arc wherein the end points of the arc define capture points which capture the disc within the arcuate contour when the disc is received between the arms. The disc can be mounted in the disc holder while the case is open, or can be inserted into the disc holder through the edge opening while the case is closed. A cam arrangement is provided for resiliently deflecting the arms outwardly to a deflected position to disengage the capture points from the side edges of the disc thereby releasing the disc from the holder.

    摘要: A balance for teaching arithmetic principles has a balance arm pivotal about a central horizontal pivot axis coincident with the axis of a support rod supported in openings at the top of opposed vertical upstanding members of a support. The balance arm has a central rectangular housing and end rectangular housings at each end extending upward carrying vertical calibrations at intervals corresponding to the height of annular washers that balance the arm. A number of upstanding vertical pins similarly vertically calibrated are spaced at one-inch intervals on either side of the pivot axis at horizontal locations on the arm along respective horizontal calibration indicia of diameter corresponding substantially to the diameter of the central openings in the washers. The front face of the balance arm is transparent along its length for exposing scales on a central mandrel carrying a number of scales that may be rotated to expose a selected scale. The pivot axis is at a height corresponding to the average center of gravity of a typical vertical pile of washers, typically at about the height of 5.5 washers above the base of the vertical pins. The balance arm may have a back plate calibrated both vertically and horizontally with the central rectangular housing formed with a tapered opening for accommodating an upstanding tapered member on which the balance arm pivots.

    摘要: A counterbalancing mechanism allows a weight or constant force to be counterbalanced for any practical linear range of travel, including means for effortlessly adjusting the mechanism for a constant force or load of any practical magnitude. A load support slides along an axis substantially passing through a fixed lower pivot point. The load support member is pivotally connected to the top end of an upper lever arm. The upper lever arm is pivotally connected by a horizontal link to the upper end of a lower lever arm that is pivotally connected to the fixed point. A pully that may swivel about its swivel axis embraces the axis and guides a cable connected to the horizontal link at one end to a spring assembly at the other end. The spring assembly may be adjusted.
