A collapsible support structure has pairs of leg members (17) pivotally joined intermediate their length in crossed fashion by a connection member (18) that is capable of sliding longitudinally with the pivotal joint as the leg members extend in a scissors—like manner to support an object.

A supportive medical walking aid for indoor use consisting of two small caster wheels located in-line with adjustable, collapsible seat and handle bars. The invention is viewed as a long term lifestyle enhancing tool rather than a temporary rehabilitative or therapeutic device. Locomotion is provided only by a walking action of the infirmed person. The device is collapsible and light weight for easy transport and storage. Seat and handle bar placement geometry to facilitate comfortable walking, standing and forward leaning as in easy resting. Frame consisting of a front near vertical steering member with caster wheel rotatably attached; a rear member with caster wheel rotatably attached and a horizontal member vertically pivotally attached to the rear member and rotatably and releasably attached to the lower end of the front member. The adjustable, collapsible seat is attached to the rear member and the handlebar assembly is attached to the front member. A hinge connects the top of the rear member to the front member in a manner allowing rotation of the front steering member. Safety brakes are provided on both front and rear casters.

A medical tray having a telescoping leg that selectively telescopes in to be out of the way so as to enable the medical tray to be placed on a flat supporting surface or stored, or that telescopes out to provide a secure and stable support that places the medical tray contents in an elevated position. The telescoping of the telescoping leg is controlled by a one hand operated, dual action release mechanism.

The invention discloses a demounting, mounting and maintenance tool for a flotation machine. The demounting, mounting and maintenance tool for the flotation machine comprises a machine base platform (A), a movable support bracket (B), a fixed support bracket (C), a movable rail trolley (D), a hydraulic lifting system (E) and a maintenance support plate system (F), wherein the movable support bracket (B) and the fixed support bracket (C) are oppositely installed at the right end of the machine base platform (A); the movable rail trolley (D) is installed at the left end of the machine base platform (A); the hydraulic lifting system (E) is mounted on the movable rail trolley (D); the maintenance support plate system (F) is installed above the hydraulic lifting system (E); the machine base platform (A), the movable support bracket (B), the fixed support bracket (C), the movable rail trolley (D), the hydraulic lifting system (E) and the maintenance support plate system (F) integrally form the demounting, mounting and maintenance tool. According to the demounting, mounting and maintenance tool, the flotation machine is more convenient to maintain, time and labor are saved, the replaced new assemblies of the flotation machine are prevented from causing scratches and damage in the process of mounting, assembly accuracy is improved, existent potential safety hazards when the flotation machine is disassembled and assembled are eliminated, and a premised guarantee is provided for stabilizing indicators in beneficiation.

A collapsible truck trailer comprises an upper container that houses, and is slidably engaged with, a primary container via a lifting mechanism and vertical guide rails. The lifting mechanism changes trailer between a collapsed configuration wherein the upper container completely houses the primary container, and an extended configuration wherein the upper container is completely above the primary container. The vertical guide rails comprise a vertical c-channel fixed to the upper container that is slidably engaged with a complementary vertical rail fixed to the primary container. The lifting mechanism includes a series of intersecting lift arms driving by a motor and actuator. An automatically adjusting wind guard covers the front side of the upper container to reduce wind drag. The wind guard has a base portion connected to the truck roof and a flat portion having a terminal end that rests upon the upper container.

A steer axle and suspension assembly are provided that produce lateral stability in the vehicle without the use of a transverse rod and without generating undue loads on the steer axle beam. The assembly includes at least one suspension arm that is connected to the frame and to a component of the steer axle assembly such as the axle beam, kingpin, or steering knuckle. The suspension arm is connected to the steer axle assembly at a location outboard of the longitudinal frame rails of the vehicle and extends longitudinally at an angle to the frame rails. The suspension arm arrangement can be used with a variety of suspensions including leaf spring and multi-link suspensions.

An air adjustable shooting bag that utilizes a sectional media body, air bladder and friction sock, and outer containment bag to adjust alignment of the firearm wherein the shooter positions the barrel or the stock of the firearm upon the flexible media body to stabilize the firearm during firing and the air bladder is used to expand or contract the media body. The invention provides the stability of popular “sand bag” type shooting rests and the fine-tune adjustability of rigid “mechanical vice” type shooting systems while maintaining the lightweight and portable characteristics of “balloon type” shooting bags.

An ironing board having a leg base operable to provide increased lateral stability and further having an integrated electrical interface. The ironing board includes a support frame having a center support member that is generally cylindrical and hollow. Slidably coupled to the second end of the center support member is a mounting sleeve. The mounting sleeve has pivotally secured thereto opposing and rotatable leg sections. An upper support member is slidably secured to the center support member proximate the first end of the center support member for height adjustment. The upper support member has secured thereto a mounting rod and sleeve. The mounting rod and sleeve are operably coupled with an ironing surface. An iron holding member is releasably secured to the upper support member being configured to retain a clothes iron. Further included is a hanging rod underneath the ironing surface for hanging of clothes.

The invention relates to a stapler (10) comprising: an anvil arm (12) which in its front region bears an anvil plate (14) on which documents can be placed,a staple magazine (20) which can be pivoted to a limited extent about a transverse pivot (18) on a bearing block (16) in the rearward region of the anvil arm (12),and a driver arm (22) which bears a driver for feeding the staples through a staple discharge slot (26) at the front end of the staple magazine (20) and which can be pivoted to a limited extent about the transverse pivot (18) with respect to the staple magazine (20) and the anvil arm (12), wherein the staple discharge slot (26) extends transversely through a bottom wall (24) of the staple magazine (20) between the magazine side walls (30) which run from the front end towards the bearing block (16) and is bounded with respect to the magazine front end by a stop plate (28) for the staples. According to the invention, the staple discharge slot (26) is closed with respect to the side walls (30) of the staple magazine (20), the staple magazine (20) is provided on each of its side walls (30) with a prong (32) which projects from the bottom wall (24), and the prongs (32) are arranged on both sides of the staple discharge slot (26).
