  • Patent number: 9682718
    Abstract: A barrow (1) includes a tray (2); one or more wheels (12); one or more removable handles (16), each including a first handle coupling (40); one or more leg units (15), each including a leg (17) having a folded position in which the leg is folded against the tray and an unfolded position in which the leg extends downwards from the tray; and one or more second handle couplings (41) each configured to couple with one of the first handle couplings (40) to attach one of the one or more removable handles (16) to the barrow; wherein attachment of the one or more removable handles (16) to the barrow locks the one or more legs (17) in the unfolded position. The barrow may be convertible between a barrow configuration and a trailer configuration.

  • Patent number: 6536357
    Abstract: A height adjustable table assembly (10) has a table top (12) with an upper surface (20) and an outer periphery (14). The table assembly (10) also has a supporting base (38). A height adjustment mechanism (25, 54, 50) is provided to selectively raise or lower the table top (12) relative to the supporting base (38). The height adjustment mechanism (25, 54, 50) includes a height adjustment actuator (25) in the form of a rotatable member. The rotatable member (25) is selectively rotatable relative to the supporting base (38) to actuate the height adjustment mechanism (25, 54, 50) to selectively raise or lower the table top (12). The rotatable member (25) is disposed underneath the upper surface (20) of the table top (12) and has an outer edge (29) which terminates at or near the outer periphery (14) of the table top (12) for at least a portion of the outer periphery (14) of the table top (12). A resiliently deformable tether (40) may interconnect the table top and at least a portion of the support assembly (27).

  • Patent number: 6032588
    Abstract: There is described a convertible table system which has a fixed central portion and leaves along at least two adjacent edges. The leaves fold from an operative position where they are substantially co-planar with the table top to a stored position where they are rotated through 180.degree. to be against or adjacent the bottom of the fixed part of the table. The leaves are retained in the operative position by sliding supports. These supports have pendant portions to be sufficiently robust to withstand the usage to which the table might be put. The pendant portions are able to be retracted out of the paths of the leaves when they are folded to the stored position. The angle of mounting of the sliding supports allows this to occur. The leaves are held in the stored position by a catch which can be magnetic or frictional or other.
