  • Publication number: 20210068535
    Abstract: A pedestal leg assembly includes a pedestal leg and floor base. The leg includes a plurality of teeth near the bottom end of the leg and a connecting bolt in a threaded engagement with the bottom end of the leg. The floor base includes a recessed portion having a slot in its bottom surface to receive the bolt and a release mechanism configured to pivot between a lock position and a release position. In lock position the release mechanism engages at least one of the teeth to prevent rotation of the pedestal leg in one direction. When pivoted into release position, the release mechanism is moved away from engagement with the teeth to allow rotation of the pedestal leg in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions. The pedestal leg assembly may include a powered connection to receive input power at the floor base and transfer the power to a supported table top surface.

  • Patent number: 9428099
    Abstract: A universal lightbar foot and mounting assembly for adjustably mounting a lightbar on an emergency vehicle includes a foot, a flexible strap mounted to the foot and with a free end configured to be secured to a side of a vehicle; a light bar bracket configured to be mounted to a light bar; and a connector for rotatably mounting the lightbar bracket to the foot for rotational adjustment of a lightbar bracket with respect to the foot. The foot has a strap adjuster for adjustably attaching the flexible strap to the foot for adjusting the relative position of the foot with respect to the free end of the strap.

  • Publication number: 20060125357
    Abstract: An anti-tip linkage mechanism for vertical file cabinets of the type having drawers and/or pivotal front panels includes molded polymeric cam follower housings that snap-fit onto each of the slide channels for the drawers or panels and non-circular connecting rods attached to cam actuators that enable interaction of the anti-tip mechanisms incorporated with each slide channel. Lock actuated auxiliary cam mechanisms and panel locking assemblies controllable by a single cabinet lock are connected with a cabinet lock by linkage bars or cables.

  • Patent number: 6738153
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method, system, and program for error checking raster objects including pixel information for a print job. A plurality of raster objects form the print job. A raster object is received including sequence information indicating an ordering of the raster object with respect to other raster objects in the print job. A determination is made from the sequence information as to whether the raster object is received in a correct order with respect to other raster objects in the print job. This ensures that the pixel information for the raster object is intended for a current pixel line being processed. An indication of error status is made if the sequence information indicates that the raster object was not received in the correct order with respect to the other raster objects in the print job.

  • Patent number: 4951576
    Abstract: A plastic-sandwiched framework structure for constucting a portable folding table. The structure includes upper and lower plastic table top halves and a framework grid sandwiched therebetween. The table top halves are bonded or cemented to one another. The framework grid is preferably made of wood, and includes joists or beam members interconnected by cross members. The framework grid is received in a correlatively shaped shell integrally formed in the lower half of the table top. Folding legs are mounted on the underside of the table top and connected through the lower table top half to the cross members. The lower table top half is provided with gussets at selected locations between relatively high vertical walls and the adjacent horizontal planar surfaces. Substantially all other interfaces between vertical and horizontal surfaces on the exterior of the lower table top half are provided with a radius. Stiffening ribs, which may be extensions of the shell, are also disposed on the lower table top half.

  • Patent number: 4771583
    Abstract: An improved and more versatile space divider system for open office interiors includes as a major component a structure beam or spine supported at each end by vertically adjustable legs. Feet on the legs provide the required lateral stability to support or hang components such as work surfaces, filing systems and the like from the beam. Each beam includes two enclosed electrical ducts on the top thereof superjacent work surface height, such ducts being provided for power and communication wiring respectively, with the latter being above the former and laterally enlarged. The power wiring duct is prewired with outlets on both sides, while the communications wiring duct includes both lateral and top access. The legs have a smooth exterior surface yet permit beams to be connected thereto at a wide variety of angles. Enclosures or fillets for the beams and legs permit the ducts to pass through the legs fully enclosed.
