Abstract: A small bracket for sun visors of vehicles, having two arms extending around a sun visor shaft in a clamp-like manner, the sides of the arms facing each other constituting an undercut seating opening for the sun visor shaft and an insertion slit, which makes the repeated insertion of the latter into the bearing opening possible, wherein the first arm is embodied on a base body and the second arm on a complementary body connected with it via a film hinge, and that a spring is located between the base body and the complementary body, which together constitute the small bracket.

Abstract: A device for retaining and restraining hot irons. The device includes a plate and a pair of spaced and opposed upstanding iron supports movably attached to the plate top surface. Each one of the supports includes a base and a pair of spaced leg members removably attached to the base. Each base is movable along a slot formed in the plate to permit varying the distance between the opposed upstanding iron supports, thereby providing a capability for retaining and restraining irons having a variety of sole plate widths. In a preferred embodiment, the leg members are pivotally attached to the base so as to be erected for use and folded against the plate for storing or packaging during non-use.

Abstract: Adjustable-height column, especially for chairs, includes a guide tube and a pneumatic, selectively blockable piston-cylinder unit for height adjustment located in the guide tube. The piston sealingly subdivides the cylinder into two operational chambers. Beginning at a defined retracted setting of the piston-cylinder unit, the blocking function is compulsorily canceled, in that a fluid flow connection between the two operational spaces is established which overrides the blocking function. An additional spring element is placed in series with the piston-cylinder unit to prevent a sudden collapse of the column.

Abstract: An adjustable support structure for a video appliance which enables forward and backward movements in addition to angle adjustment of the appliance in upward, downward, left, and right directions. The support structure includes a supporting plate, a slidable plate attachable to the video appliance, the slidable plate having a lower portion in slidable contact with the supporting plate to allow movement of the slidable plate in forward and backward directions relative to the supporting plate, a rotatable plate, coupled to an upper portion of the slidable plate, for adjusting angles of the video appliance in left, right, upward and downward directions, a connecting part, inserted in the rotatable plate, for connecting the slidable plate to the rotatable plate, and a fastening part for fastening the slidable plate, the rotatable plate, and the connecting part together.

Abstract: The present invention provides a radiant tube supporting apparatus for a radiant tube arranged as a radiant heat source in a heat treatment furnace. The radiant tube is inserted through a furnace wall on one side having a supporting member attached to a bend at the tip of the radiant tube. The supporting member projects to outside the furnace through the furnace wall on the other side, and a bearing member bearing the supporting member is provided outside the furnace.

Abstract: A keyboard suppport includes a support body having a throughpassage that passes through the support body and opens on opposite sides of the support body. The support body also defines a support surface configured to accomodate a keyboard such as a keyboard for inputting alphanumeric symbols to a personal computer. A moveable mouse support fits within a portion of the throughpassage of the support and extends outwardly from the support to define a mouse support surface having a region that extends in front of a front edge of a keyboard with the keyboard resting the support surface. Although the term "mouse" has become almost universally used for the rolling input device used to move an arrow on the display screen and "pick" functions or data values, other terms such as "trackball" can be used interchangeably with the term "mouse".

Abstract: A beach umbrella support is provided including a rigid hollow post. Also included is a spiral flange fixedly coupled to an outer surface of the post. At least one ear is fixedly coupled to the post and further fixed with respect to the flange for affording leverage. An umbrella rod is removably mounted within a top end of the post for being supported by the post.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a support mechanism for laterally supporting an article on a platform by utilizing a stabilizing means such that when a support plate is in an upright position to laterally support an article situated on the platform, the stabilizing means is placed in a relaxed state for stabilizing the upright position of the support member. The stabilizing means can be advantageously an extensible spring or a compressible spring to be used to modify an existing loading/unloading apparatus and to achieve the desirable benefits of the present invention method and apparatus.

Abstract: A stand for a toddler's swing supported by an overhead horizontal bar has a compact mode for transport and storage and an operational mode. In the operational mode a horizontal bar has a pair of legs at each end of the bar forming triangles with apices at the bar. The legs of a pair pivot relative to one another and a flexible element limits the open angle. Each leg is provided with a removable extension with a lateral pedal for forcing the end into the ground for enhanced stability. The legs rotate into a common plane and the extensions are removed to form a compact flat transport and storage package.

Abstract: An attachment device with which a sensor may be fixed to the outer periphery of a cylinder barrel of a fluid power operated drive cylinder. It comprises an attachment clamp, on which a holding face is provided for securing the sensor and cooperating with the peripheral face thereof. The holding face is formed by an undercut holding groove and provides also a working face against which a positioning element on the sensor may be engaged.

Abstract: A steering column in an automotive vehicle is supported by a stationary wall that carries two capsules on either side of the steering column. The steering column has an attachment wall that extends within the capsules. Each capsule has two support walls sandwiched around the attachment wall and a tubular connector joining the support walls together. Severable ribs are integral with the tubular connector and in contact with edge areas of the attachment wall, such that in a crash situation the steering column can collapse forwardly to minimize chest injury to the driver of the vehicle.
