Adjustable Patents (Class 211/175)
  • Patent number: 11971133
    Abstract: A width-adjustable support stand has two leg pairs, each composed of two legs interconnected by a length-adjustable cross-rail. Each cross-rail features a pair of rail stubs that are attached to inner sides of the two legs and are telescopically received in hollow cavities of a rail hub at opposing ends thereof. Each rail stub has a pair of slide guides engaged with corresponding slide guides on opposing internal walls of the respective hollow cavity, and also has upper and lower tongues riding in top and bottom slots of the rail hub between in-turned flanges thereof. To lock each leg pair at user-selected width, a lock slot in each rail stub is penetrated by a lock fastener that engages opposing sidewalls of the rail hub on opposite sides of the rail stub, so that tightening of the fastener clamps the rail stub firmly between the sidewalls of the rail hub.

  • Patent number: 11827137
    Abstract: A tow dolly cross rail assembly includes a male bar and a pair of female bars arranged in a slidable relationship, forming an arched configuration that creates a positive camber effect at dolly tires at the outer ends of the bars. The male bar comprises an apex that forms an angle that orients upwardly, forming an angle between about 165° to 179°. The center male bar and pair of female bars are arranged in a slidable relationship with each other. The midpoint of the center male bar forms an apex. The inner end of female bars is in a slidable relationship with free ends of center male bar. The female bars telescopically slide along the free ends of center male bar for increasing and decreasing length of cross rail. The arched configuration of the center male bar slopes the female bars to create a positive camber at the dolly tires.

  • Patent number: 11291301
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for customizable cabinetry framing. The systems presented describe components which can be assembled into customizable framing modules for cabinetry in outdoor kitchens, farming sheds, restaurants, warehouses, or more. The methods presented describe making each component by cutting sheet metal or other sheet material, and then by folding the cut sheet metal, and using some fasteners. Standardized components may be assembled on-site into customized modules. These materials and assembly eliminate the need for costly and time-consuming welding at point of manufacture or assembly, while providing advantages in strength of the assembled framing modules. Various components may be packed for shipping in relatively flat units. The present invention solves problems with the currently available means of manufacturing and assembling outdoor kitchens and other custom framing built on-site.

  • Patent number: 9750155
    Abstract: A rail adjustable mount adjusts a rail to support information handling system chassis with different depths in racks of different depths. The adjustable mount couples to a rack front with a sliding portion extending into the rack interior. The adjustable mount sliding portion slidingly engages a guide of the rail to allow adjustment of the rail relative to the rack so that a rail fits into a rack having a depth that is greater than the length of the rail's housing. A floating portion of the rail supports the rail at the rear of the rack and allows the rail position to float relative to the rear of the rack. A biasing device of the adjustable mount biases the rail towards the front of the rack to aid full extension and retraction of the rail at the rack.
