A window covering lifting control apparatus includes a holding unit, a locating set and a pushbutton. The holding unit has a first spacer and a second spacer formed thereon that are spaced from each other. The spacers have two slots inclining downwards. The first spacer has a strut on one side to be coupled with a spring on an outer side. The locating set includes two gears, two locating rods, two locating heads and a spring assembly to hold the two gears between the spacers. The pushbutton is movably coupled on the strut of the holding unit to control movement of the two gears in the slots. The window lifting control apparatus can be installed in a lower elongated member to control retraction upward or extension downward of the window covering. The two gears of the locating set can engage with and latch a lift cord assembly to provide improved locating effect.

The present invention is a telescoping plyometric exercise device which can be rapidly adjusted for height using a single lifting motion. The apparatus is incrementally height-adjusted and secured in a position capable of withstanding force. The apparatus requires a single lifting motion to securely and incrementally adjust the device, and to balance impact and force through the use of novel, contoured inner components and structural assemblies. These inner components and structural assemblies are engineered to provide the capability for rapid height adjustment of the apparatus.

An exoskeleton device includes a first brace coupled to a first portion of a wearer of the exoskeleton device and a second brace coupled to a second portion of the wearer. A first joint connects the first and second braces and allows relative movement between the first and second braces. A first brake is controllable between an unactuated state and a plurality of actuated states, and the first brake impedes relative movement between the first and second braces at the first joint while the first brake is in one of the plurality of actuated states. A manual actuator is selectively used by the wearer during relative movement between the first and second braces. Use of the actuator causes the first brake to enter one of the plurality of actuated states such that relative movement between the first and second braces is impeded at the first joint.

The invention relates to an arrangement for storage, which includes a warehouse rack containing shelves (14) located on columns, a handling machine movable to the designated shelf of the warehouse rack, and a handling device capable of placing goods or a storing device (30) for storing goods on the shelves (14) or taking them down from the shelves (14) and moving them to a designated location. A passive lifting device (240) is associated with the warehouse rack (10) and the handling machine (100) is formed as a locomotive handling machine capable of moving on a designated path, and the handling device (130) is located on the handling machine (100), and on the handling machine (100), there is an active lifting device (200), which can be coupled with the passive lifting device (240) and forward the handling machine (100) to the designated shelf in cooperation with the passive lifting device (240).

The invention relates also to a locomotive handling machine (100) provided with an active lifting device (200), and to a warehouse rack (10) mounted with a passive lifting device (240).

The headliner comprises guiding means (2) for a concealing element (3), part of a system for concealing a transparent element provided in the roof of a vehicle, guiding means (2) that are disposed in line with the perimeter of at least one opening (4) in said interior lining trim (1) provided to match up with the transparent element in the roof of the vehicle. The guiding means (2) are connected up and supported by said interior lining trim (1), said guiding means (2) acting as a reinforcement element so as to form a strong assembly, which supports the weight of the concealing system and the stresses generated during its operation, together with the interior lining trim (1).

The present disclosure discloses a folding table comprises a table board, a support leg, and a bracket connected between the table board and the support leg. A top portion of the bracket is disposed with an upper crossbar. The upper crossbar is positioned on a rear portion of a bottom surface of the table board, and the table board is configured to rotate about the upper crossbar. A bottom portion of the table board is disposed with one or more pawls, and the upper crossbar is disposed with one or more lock plates. Edges of the one or more lock plates comprise at least one ratchet wheel groove. When the one or more pawls are disposed in the at least one ratchet wheel groove, the table board is configured to rotate upward.
