Abstract: A single-control lever mounted in a pivot assembly is movable in an arc in first and second directions in one plane to impart motion through a cam arrangement to a first push rod and cable assembly so that the first push rod and cable assembly moves equal amounts in the same direction upon movement of the lever in either the first or second direction. The same single-lever is movable in an arc in third and fourth directions in a second plane normal to the first plane to impart longitudinal motion to a second push rod and cable assembly affixed to the pivot assembly. A plate member affixed to the bracket supporting the pivot assembly limits travel of the single-control lever to a predetermined path.

Abstract: An elevated tray display device comprises a base having upper and lower vertical posts joined in telescoping relation for adjustment of the height and rotational orientation of the upper post and a fastener for affixing the upper post at a selected height and selected rotational orientation.

Special two-part footing brackets that comprise heads slidable into locked positions on unobtrusive rail plates fixed to the door enable the mirror assembly to be attached and removed easily.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for moving objects across a storage area includes elongated guide means extending across the storage area along the direction of movement of the objects, frictional engagement means associated with and adapted for movement along the guide means for frictionally engaging a portion ofthe outer surface of the objects so that the frictional engagement means can simultaneously engage both the guide means and the objects and impart a condition whereby the frictional resistance between the frictional engagement means and the objects is greater than that between the objects and the support means and the frictional engagement means and the guide means for moving the objects. Alternatively, cooperating mating portions can be provided on a bar and an object engaging portion to accomplish the same results.

Abstract: A self-clamping wire rack is provided for magazines, cards, napkins, letters, and the like; the rack being formed in its basic configuration of a first wire rod which is bent to constitute the rear side of the rack and also to constitute a pair of rearwardly extending legs; and of a second wire rod bent to constitute the front side of the rack and also constitute a pair of forwardly extending legs; the two components of the rack being hinged to one another in a manner such that when the assembly is placed on a horizontal surface, the front and rear sides are turned angularly towards one another to exert a clamping force on the magazines, cards, or other articles supported on the rack between the front and rear sides of the rack, so as to maintain such articles in the rack.

Abstract: An assembly includes a dolly and a plurality of supports removably fitted at different levels within the dolly, for the housing, conveying and bringing forth of tools, particularly in the operation of numerically controlled machines. Secured to each of the supports are a plurality of cone-shaped bushes, wherein tools can be accommodated and retained.
