Patent number: 5911177Abstract: A split frame table has a planar table top and a base. The base has several panels that are rotatably joined via hinges to each other. The panels each have two pairs of legs and a pair of cross members. The pairs of legs are spaced apart from each other and have the cross members located between the legs. The spaced apart pairs of legs define a leg slot therebetween. The panels each have a cavity formed therein. The leg slots and the cavities form a storage chamber when the panels are arranged in a linear aligned position. The linear aligned position allows insertion of the table top into the storage chamber for storage and protection of the table top. The table top is removable from the storage chamber when the panels are in the linear aligned position. The panels can be arranged into another position in which all of the panels are generally perpendicular to each adjoining panel. This position allows the table top to be supported on top of the base to form a table.Type: GrantFiled: January 9, 1998Date of Patent: June 15, 1999Assignee: The Board of Trustees of Western Michigan UniversityInventors: Bryan M.

Patent number: 5199729Abstract: The stowable shelf bag cart of the present invention includes a base portion resting on a wheeled chassis. The base portion includes a fixed lower shelf. A frame extends upwardly from the base portion, and includes four upright corner members connected at their upper ends by four lateral braces. The two ends of the cart are enclosed by end walls and a cover extends over the top of the cart. A stowable shelf is placed approximately halfway between the base and the top of the frame. The shelf includes axial projections at both ends that glide within a track fixed to each end wall. One other projection is located at each of the four corners of the stowable shelf. These projections are slidably received in tracks that are integral with the four upright corner members above the level of the stowable shelf. Latches are provided that securely lock the stowable shelf in the shelf position, yet permit the shelf to be easily adjusted to a right or left side wall position by one person without using any tools.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 1991Date of Patent: April 6, 1993Assignee: Watkins Aircraft Support Products, Inc.Inventors: Sheldon H.
