摘要： A rotary stepped storage and display unit is placed on shelves in cabinets and other locations above eye level to store and display items such as spice jars etc. on a stepped surface so that items can be seen easily from below. Preferably, the device comprises a circular stepped pyramid on a rotary base. The device is provided in separate sections which are small enough to pass through the access opening to corner cupboards in kitchens or similar places where the access openings are considerably smaller than the inside dimensions of the cupboard. Easy-to-use snap fasteners are integral with the sections and are used to fasten the sections together inside the cabinet to form a structure which is too large to pass through the access opening but utilizes the space efficiently in the cabinet. The device either can rotate on its own rotary base, or can be mounted on one or more of the upper shelves of a series of rotary shelves mounted to rotate on a vertical axle in a corner or similar cupboard.

摘要： A height adjustable table assembly (10) has a table top (12) with an upper surface (20) and an outer periphery (14). The table assembly (10) also has a supporting base (38). A height adjustment mechanism (25, 54, 50) is provided to selectively raise or lower the table top (12) relative to the supporting base (38). The height adjustment mechanism (25, 54, 50) includes a height adjustment actuator (25) in the form of a rotatable member. The rotatable member (25) is selectively rotatable relative to the supporting base (38) to actuate the height adjustment mechanism (25, 54, 50) to selectively raise or lower the table top (12). The rotatable member (25) is disposed underneath the upper surface (20) of the table top (12) and has an outer edge (29) which terminates at or near the outer periphery (14) of the table top (12) for at least a portion of the outer periphery (14) of the table top (12). A resiliently deformable tether (40) may interconnect the table top and at least a portion of the support assembly (27). An O-ring (120) may also be provided between telescoping leg portions (24,36) of the support assembly (27).

摘要： A layer cake supporting device for allowing multiple layers of cake to be vertically stacked upon each other includes a plurality of plates. Each of the plates has a peripheral edge, a top side and a bottom side. The plates each have a hole therein defined by a perimeter edge. Each of the holes extends through the top and bottom sides. Each of the peripheral edges has a different size. Each of the perimeter edges of the plates has a length substantially equal to one of the peripheral edges of another of the plates. A plurality of legs each is removably attached to a bottom side of the plates. The legs may be pressed through a top surface of the cake such that the bottom side of the plate rests on the top surface of the cake, and another layer of cake may be placed on the plate.

摘要： A table is provided having a table top with two opposed side edges and two opposed end edges. The side edges are curvilinear each having a concave portion and a convex portion. The side edges are further mutually aligned so as to be a constant distance from one another along their respective lengths. One end edge is concave and the other end edge is convex. The concave end edge has a shape that is complimentary to the shape of the convex side edge portions and the convex end edge has a shape that is complimentary to the shape of the concave side edge portion. Thus, multiple like tables of the foregoing configuration may be arranged together in a variety of aesthetically pleasing and highly functional assemblies.

摘要： An adjustable inclined shelving system includes a rigid tubular horizontal base supporting an adjustable, articulated frame removably connected to the frame without the need for tools. The articulated frame includes front and rear legs. The front legs proximal to a customer are shorter than the rear legs distal from the customer. The articulated frame further includes a shelf support frame extending at an angle of incline between and removably attached to the front and rear legs for supporting a plurality of shelves. The legs are pivoted on the horizontal frame to change the system from a collapsed configuration, as for shipping or storage, to an erect configuration for display, and return. The system is afforded structural rigidity by removable diagonal braces extending between the legs and the horizontal frame. The front legs are pivoted from vertical to horizontal by unpinning of the braces to lower the shelving from an upright configuration to a kneeling configuration. The rear legs are telescopic and are extended or retracted to change the display angle. The shelving is removably attached to the shelf support frame and is configured in width and disposition of the individual shelves to optimize the display of a plurality of crates. Optionally, the legs may be further provided with transverse horizontal members for supporting detachable auxiliary shelves for displaying additional crates at the front and/or rear of the system.

摘要： An adjustable keyboard support device having a keyboard support platform and an arm connected to the platform and adapted for attachment to a base unit. Positioning of the keyboard support platform is secured by frictional engagement of coil springs on cylindrical surfaces. Release mechanisms may be activated to change diameters of the coil springs, unsecuring the engagement of the springs against the surface. Varying spring constants allows progressive release of more than one spring. An adjustable peripheral device support platform is attached to the keyboard support platform. A wrist support is provided at the front of the keyboard support platform, and includes a rack and pinion adjustment of the height of the support surface.

摘要： A movable stage assembly suitable for use in a vacuum has three circular stages rotating independently of one another. The stage assembly includes a base and a large rotatable circular table mounted on the base. This large table has a second smaller circular table which is eccentrically mounted within the first large table and rotates independently. This second table also has a smaller third circular table eccentrically mounted on it and independently rotatable within the second table. All the rotatable tables utilize ferrofluidic seals to prevent air within the air bearings from leaking into the vacuum chamber and are driven by motors mounted beneath the tables.

摘要： An articulating table can be easily adjusted by meeting participants, thereby suiting a wide range of meeting conditions without lifting, carrying or requiring specialized help. Rollers and/or electric motors make this transition easy. The articulating table includes two or more leaves coupled to each other by a large horizontal pivot. These leaves can be moved to different angles relative to each other, allowing for changes in configuration and capacity. The articulation can be accomplished using a rule joint, wherein the pivoting members are attached with offsets allowing the leaves to be placed in the same plane. The rule joint is divided into two or more parts, each attached to a leaf. These pivot parts are circular and have either a protrusion or depression concentric to their center, which fits into a corresponding part on the other member. This male/female arrangement provides a bearing surface and maintains alignment as the leaves pivot. Intermediate leaves, if filled, have a hole in their pivot member to accommodate the bearing assembly. Connectors and overlapping slots in the inner layers hold the joint together and limit motion as necessary. A split base housing rollers supports the other ends of the leaves.
