A stand-alone exercise apparatus includes a seat to support a user in a position thereon, and upper and lower body exercising assemblies which are configured for activation either sequentially of simultaneously to permit the concurrent exercising movement of his or her upper body area and lower body leg muscles, respectively, without necessitating that the user stop exercising when switching from upper body exercises to lower body exercises. The lower body exercising assembly includes a lower frame assembly which is operable to provide resistance exercise to the user's leg muscles, and which includes a selectively reciprocally movable pedal, platform or bar which is coupled to a suitable resistance mechanism and which is engageable by the user's feet and/or legs as they are moved together in unified movement to effect leg extensions or curls. The upper body exercising assembly includes one or more reciprocally movable frame members, hand pulleys or swing arms coupled to a resistance mechanism, and which are engageable by the user's hands and/or arms. The resistance mechanisms used to provide the selected resistance to the upper and lower exercising assemblies are operable independently from each other, and enable the user to select the degree of resistance to each of the upper and lower body exercising assemblies separately.

An improved utility cart for use in auto body repair facilities. The cart includes an upright frame from which one or more shelf or basket members extend generally horizontally. Extensions on the spaced apart legs of the cart include at least two elongate upright posts which are spaced apart sufficiently to receive a thin auto body part such as a hood panel or windshield. Elongate support arms may be attached to the upright members of the frame by inserting tabs of the arms into slots in the upright members. The shelf and basket members are supported on a pair of side brackets which have tabs which are received in slots in the upright members. The legs may be adjusted from a parallel position to one which has the legs diverging. The legs are supported by casters mounted at the ends of the legs and at the ends of the leg extensions. A small parts drawer may be carried in a drawer support which can be suspended from either a shelf or a basket member. S-hooks and elastic cords may be attached to cross bars separating the upright members, or from the elongate support arms or the side brackets of the shelf or basket members.

A shelf stores items and provides for organized and attractive display with ease of item access. Conforming to a defined physical environment or variable storage space optimally requires the shelf to provide for both vertical and horizontal adjustment. Here this is accomplished by a pair of legs that are telescopic (to reduce size) and can be locked at a height (vertical adjustment) by use of a pawl, pin, screw or other fastener known in the art. The shelf includes a planar surface that is comprised of a shelf portion, which is supported on each distal end by a leg extension. The leg extensions are mounted to the upper area of the legs. The leg extensions are received by the shelf portion, being movably mounted thereto. This allows for horizontal (width) adjustment. An end cover can be used to provide a flat surface that is consistent with the upper surface of the shelf portion. Feet are added to provide a more solid footing, the feet being removable and providing a mounting tab at the end of the legs and a mounting tab receiver at the opposite end of the legs. This allows for multiple shelves to be securely mounted one on the other.

The exercise devices disclosed herein are configurable to allow a user to perform various exercises. The exercise device can include an adjustable bench assembly connected with a frame supporting a cable-pulley assembly providing a user interface with a resistance system. A user can interface with an actuation component to pull resistance cables against resistance from the resistance system. Various exercise accessories can be provided that are easily connected with and removed from the exercise device to allow a user to perform different exercises. Some examples of exercise accessories are used to configure the exercise device for squat, abdominal, leg extension, leg curl, and arm curl exercises. The frame can also be configured to selectively place the exercise device in a stationary operating configuration supported by the frame on a support surface and a storage configuration wherein the exercise device is rollingly supported on the support surface by wheels.
