Abstract: A cabinet table includes a center chest which has a pair of substantially vertical sidewalls, a table top mounted on the chest which has a portion overhanging at least one of the side walls and a substantially semi-circular top plate which is pivotably attachable to the support plate, and movable from a retracted position between the portion of the table top overhanging one of the side walls and the support plate of the bracket member to an extended position displaced by about 180.degree. from the retracted position. The top surfaces of the portion overhanging at least one of the side walls and the semi-circular top plate are substantially defined by a plane in that extended position of the top plate.

Abstract: A towel dispenser for dispensing at least one towel from a towel roll containing a multiplicity of towels includes a towel cabinet having an outlet opening for dispensing one of the towels from the towel roll therethrough, rotative means disposed within the cabinet for effecting the withdrawal of one of the towels from the cabinet through the outlet opening, driving means for operatively engaging the rotating means, a prepayment mechanism for releasing the driving means by at least one coin supplied to the prepayment mechanism, a chute attached to the prepayment mechanism and a coin-collecting box attached to a wall separating the prepayment mechanism therefrom. The chute communicates with the prepayment mechanism and the coin-collecting box through the wall. The operation of the prepayment mechanism by the coin causes the towel dispenser to furnish one of the towels to a user upon activation of the driving means, the coin being collected in the coin-collecting box upon falling thereinto through the chute.

Abstract: A ladder extension and level that is adapted to be used in conjunction with ladders having hollow rungs and a further embodiment for solid rung ladders.

Abstract: A club holder for golf bags comprising a flat plate having a plurality of apertures and an elongated opening therein, the flat plate dimensioned to be frictionally secured in the open mouth of a golf bag, a cup-like element fixedly secured on the free edges thereof under the elongated opening to the lowermost surface of the flat plate, and a cover hingedly secured to the uppermost surface of the flat plate, the cover adapted to cover the opening.

Abstract: A coin carrying locket has a hollow compartment for the storage of at least one coin. A coin-receiving slot and a coin ejection slot are formed in a peripheral wall of the locket at spaced locations. A pair of springs are mounted within the locket.
