Problems solved by technology

The ability for a lecturer to click on a button displaying a slide full of information on a projection screen or white board saves an enormous amount of time rather than having to try and clearly write out all of the information by hand.
However, this progression in technology does not come without drawbacks.
Computer systems, especially those used for lecturing or interactive instruction, require the need for space-consuming hardware.
Each component of the computer system takes up a considerable amount of space.
Additional bulky computer components, such as speakers and additional audio and visual equipment may also be needed.
If the computer hardware is not configured or arranged properly, the computer system will be difficult to use and operate, thus negating the purpose of using a computer system to accurately, efficiently, and timely convey information to others.
In addition to being arranged and organized properly, the computer system needs to be securely situated and housed, since the entire system can cost a considerable amount of money.
These supports render the projector unstable by not providing a solid base for the projector to rest on, and can lead to the projector falling or moving during the lecture, and thus can become damaged or broken.
Moreover, the unwitting movement of the projector can cause unnecessary interrupts of the lecture.
However, it is extremely impractical to take apart and reinstall an entire computer system each time the system is needed.
However, there is often not enough room to move the apparatus supporting the projector to an adequate position, or the apparatus itself is relatively immovable.
This is especially true in lecture hall situations where space is limited in the lecture area.
However, the audio-visual equipment station disclosed in Liggett does not provide the security needed to secure the system when not in use, nor does Liggett disclose a station in which at least one portion of the computer system can be spatially adjusted without moving the entire system.
However, the stand disclosed in Charny does not provide the security needed to secure the computer system when not in use, nor does Charny disclose a mobile stand for securing a computer system.
However, these systems are not only difficult to use, but also create a non-fluid, jerky system, which can forcefully jolt and damage the sensitive electronics of computer systems.
However, the computer desk in Chen does provide the security needed to secure the computer system when not in use, nor does Chen provide a storage apparatus for additional computer components.
Moreover, apparatuses having the ability to fluidly and spatially adjust at least one computer component while also providing a storage compartment were previously unknown in the art.

Embodiment Construction

[0027] The present inventive subject matter relates to pneumatic lifts and storage apparatuses. In particular, the present inventive subject matter relates to mobile pneumatic lifts and storage apparatuses combined into one apparatus, with both the pneumatic lift and storage compartment being independently operable.

[0028] Referring to FIGS. 1A and 1B an embodiment of a pneumatic lift and storage apparatus 100 is illustrated. The pneumatic lift and storage apparatus 100 comprises a pneumatic lift 105 and storage compartment 110 adjacently connected together by a support platform 115 having support bars 116, rails 117, and wheels 120. The pneumatic lift 105 comprises: (i) a base plate 125 which attaches the pneumatic lift 105 to the support platform 115; (ii) a hollow support column 130 which houses a interior extension column 132 (shown in FIGS. 2C and 3) and pneumatic cylinder 217 (shown in FIG. 3); (iii) a locking knob 135 which can lock the interior extension column 132 to a desi...

Abstract

The present subject matter relates to pneumatic lifts and storage apparatuses combined into one apparatus. In particular, the present subject matter relates to a pneumatic storage apparatus comprising an adjustable pneumatic lift having a top platform, a locking knob, and actuation device, and a storage compartment comprising a bottom platform, top platform, two side walls, one back wall, and one front wall adjacently attached to the pneumatic lift by a support platform. Additionally, the present subject matter relates to a mobile pneumatic storage apparatus comprising an adjustable pneumatic lift having a top platform, a locking knob, and actuation device, and a storage compartment comprising a bottom platform, top platform, two side walls, one back wall, and one front wall adjacently attached to the pneumatic lift by a mobile support platform.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present inventive subject matter relates to pneumatic lifts and storage apparatuses. In particular, the present inventive subject matter relates to mobile pneumatic lifts and storage apparatuses combined into one apparatus, with both the pneumatic lift and storage compartment being independently operable. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] The ability to timely and accurately display and effectively communicate information to people is critical in modern times. Whether in business or learning institutions, the ability to timely, accurately, and effectively convey information to other people can make the difference between achieving a desired goal or missing the goal entirely. The old adage “time is money” still holds true today with more people finding themselves flowing into an ever-increasing fast-paced society. Thus, it is also important not only to accurately and effectively convey information, but also to do so in a time-conscious way. [0003] O...
