Abstract: A professional mounting stand comprising an upstanding tubular support member having its lower end adapted to be secured to a supporting surface. A second tubular member is selectively slideably received by the first tubular member and is selectively rotatably mounted therein about a vertical axis. A normally horizontally disposed collar is pivotally secured to the upper end of the second tubular member and has a face plate selectively rotatably mounted therein about a horizontal axis. In one embodiment, a U-shaped support is secured to the face plate and has a pair of clamping members rotatably and laterally adjustably secured to the outer leg portions thereof. In a third embodiment, the horizontally disposed collar and face plate are secured to the upper end of a short length of pipe which is secured to a supporting surface.

Abstract: A fixture for mounting an article to be worked on including a base having an end member together with an arm pivotally mounted on the end member. The end member is formed with a multiplicity of spaced holes on radii extending from the pivot point of said arm, and the arm has a spring urged pin for engagement in any of said holes whereby the arm may be selectively positioned. Rotatable and slidably mounted on one end of the arm is a supporting arm which has a slot formed therein in which screw members are selectively positioned for threaded engagement with an article.

Abstract: A horizontally reciprocal table carrying a foam rubber or polyurethane slab on the surface thereof is indexed past a vertically reciprocal operating head having mounted thereon a plurality of sets of rotary cutters and saws, each set, when operated, forming a portion of a prescribed pattern, whereby as the slabs index past the operating head selected sets of cutters and/or saws are activated in response to a switch means engaged by activating elements on said table to form holes or slots in said slab according to said prescribed pattern.
