Abstract: A system for automated equipment cabinet leveling may include a foot leveling device for each foot of an equipment cabinet, each foot leveling device comprising a drive gear and a worm gear; a motor for each foot leveling device, each motor driving the worm gear of one of the foot leveling devices; a controller controlling the operation of each motor; and a sensor positioned on a portion of the equipment cabinet to be leveled that detects an orientation of the equipment cabinet and provides orientation data to the controller. The foot leveling device may interface with a foot shaft of the cabinet foot by a drive shaft driven by the drive gear, and the controller may drive at least one of motors to level the surface of the equipment cabinet based on the orientation data by extending or retracting at least one of the cabinet feet.

Abstract: A support arrangement (1) for an object (2), comprising primary frame (10), at least three pivoting members (21, 22, 25) and first, second, third and fourth feet (31, 32, 33, 34) fixed to the three pivoting members. The primary frame includes longitudinally spaced first and second stem portions (11, 12) fixed to a longitudinal member (13). The first and fourth feet are laterally spaced and positioned towards a first end of the primary frame and the second and third feet being laterally spaced and positioned towards a second end of the primary frame, the second and third feet being longitudinally spaced from the first and fourth feet. At least one interaction arrangement (50) provides interaction between the three pivoting members such that the four feet can move to accommodate or engage an uneven surface while maintaining control of the object in a position parallel to the average ground plane.

Abstract: A tension-compression base structure includes tension elements (such as flexible cables or ropes) and compression elements (such as rigid legs) with a slidably adjustable path for the tension elements around or within the compression elements, thereby enabling a degree of adaptability to support surfaces that may not be ideally flat, such as on outdoor terrain. Such a tension-compression base may be used to support a platform that may be desirably held in a preferred orientation irrespective of terrain irregularities. Height adjustment of the platform can be achieved via a telescoping mechanism, a gas spring, or the like, at the one or both ends of the compression members of the structure. A spring or other compliant member inline with the “loop” tension member can be included. The spring also can remove the requirement for fine adjustments of tension elements during normal service. The spring can benefit various tension-compression base structures.

Abstract: A swivel foot assembly for a force plate or balance plate is disclosed herein. The swivel foot assembly includes a foot attachment component including a stem portion and a body portion, the stem portion of the foot attachment component configured to be attached to a force plate or balance plate; and a foot base component including a receptacle for receiving the body portion of the foot attachment component, the foot base component configured to be disposed on a support surface. The swivel foot assembly is configured to accommodate an uneven support surface on which a force plate or balance plate is disposed so that a force measurement accuracy of the force plate or balance plate is not adversely affected by stresses resulting from the uneven support surface.

Abstract: The present invention provides a horizontal instrument, a supporting device and a method for adjusting the bearing surface of the supporting device to be horizontal. The horizontal instrument in the present invention is used for maintaining a bearing surface parallel to a horizontal plane, wherein the horizontal instrument comprises a slide-swing assembly, and a monitoring assembly, when the monitoring assembly detects that the bearing surface is not parallel to the horizontal plane, the controller instructs the driving unit to drive the slider to slide, which leads the lower end of the swinging rod to slide, and then drives the swinging rod to swing, thereby, the upper end of the swinging rod drives the bearing surface to rotate for an angle so that the bearing surface is maintained parallel to the horizontal plane.

Abstract: A support for washing machine with automatic leveling function comprises: a sheath; a regulating mechanism, arranged in the sheath and axially movable relative to the sheath; and a flexible body assembly, which is arranged in the regulating mechanism and accommodates a hydraulic medium; one end of the flexible body assembly is limited and arranged in the sheath, another end is a stretchable end which acts on the regulating mechanism, the stretchable end expands and contracts under the action of the hydraulic medium and drives the regulating mechanism to move axially for automatic leveling. The flexible body assembly comprises a flexible accommodating body, a mounting, and a protection mechanism between the mounting assembly and the flexible accommodating body. The flexible body assembly is arranged in the sheath to avoid any damage, and the arrangement of the protection mechanism avoids the flexible accommodating body from directly contacting with the mounting assembly.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a support for household appliance and a household appliance. The support for household appliance comprises a hydraulic plate; a sheath, which is fixedly connected with the hydraulic plate; a regulating element, which is arranged in the sheath and is axially movable relative to the sheath; an accommodation chamber, which is formed by the hydraulic plate, the sheath and the regulating element; a hydraulic medium, which is arranged in the accommodation chamber and is compressed/expands depending on pressure changes to drive the regulating element to axially move in the sheath for leveling; an overall height h and a transverse length D of the support for household appliance are determined by specification parameters of a household appliance with the foot. The range defined in the embodiment of the support for household appliance can meet the leveling requirements of household appliances.

Abstract: An adjustable panel leg system in a low-profile design includes a foot, an upright leg for supporting an object such as a panel, and an upright adjustment mechanism disposed above the foot and between the foot and the upright leg to enable adjustment of the angle of the upright leg with respect to the foot. The upright adjustment mechanism may include a horizontal pin extending through a portion of the upright leg, such that the upright leg can pivot about the pin with respect to the foot. The upright adjustment mechanism may also include a tubular support extending upwardly from the foot. A portion of the upright leg extends into the opening of the tubular support. The pin extends through the tubular support and the portion of the upright leg such that the leg can pivot within the tubular support.
