Abstract: A portable stage includes a folding framework supporting a removable deck. The framework includes opposing folding end framework assemblies and opposed side framework assemblies. The framework folds from an extended position for use and a folded positon wherein the framework is compact for storage. The side framework assemblies each include corner columns connected by angled portions having a V configuration forming an open space below the deck. The decks connect with pin connectors that extend into through holes in the deck. The pin connectors having a threaded connector supporting a pin that provides for relative axial movement when the pin is rotated from above to adjust stage height. Removable guardrails include mounting brackets that attach to the pin connectors.

Abstract: A folding table and seating arrangement includes a pair of table tops, each of the table tops having a table top frame. A folding framework supports the table tops and facilitates folding the table tops between a first position and a second position, the folding framework defining a rotational axis with each of the table tops. A folding assist system offset forces during folding and includes a mechanical strut assembly attached to the folding framework and providing a biasing force. Cap elements have a receiving portion inserting into an orifice in the table top frame and aligned with the rotational axis to receive a tubular cross. The cap elements provide low friction and have tabs that clip into corresponding slots in the table top frame.

Abstract: A table and seating system includes a folding table. A folding framework supports the table section and has vertical frame elements supporting stool type seats. The stool type seats each have a monolithic seat element. The seat element has a substantially rectangular periphery including opposed end portions and opposed side portions with rounded corner portions abutting the end portions and the side portions. The upper surface of the seat has a concave upper surface with a center portion lower than the end portions, but does not form a depression capable of pooling liquids. A center receiving portion projects from an underside of the seat portion with the vertical frame element inserting into the center receiving portion. Radial ribs on an underside of the seat extend from the center receiving portion to a periphery of the seat portion and intersect a circular rib and a rectangular rib.

Abstract: A portable floor includes floor panels connected in an edge to edge relationship to form an extended temporary floor surface. Each of the panels includes a foam layer having a top face and a bottom face with a first aluminum sheet placed on the top face and a second aluminum sheet placed on the bottom face. The aluminum sheet placed on the bottom face is coated with a paint over the bottom surface while a laminate is applied over the upper aluminum sheet. Extruded edge pieces attach along the sides of the floor panels and include complementary tongues along two edges and grooves along the other two edges. The panels also include latches for securing the edges together.

Abstract: A rolling table and seating system includes a first assembly folding between a first position with the first assembly forming a seat bottom, and a second storage position. A second assembly moves between a first position with the second assembly forming a table and a second position at which the second assembly forms a seat back complementary to the seat bottom. First linkages fold the first assembly and include a leg supporting the seat bottom at the first position, and lift and pivot the leg at the second storage position. Second linkages fold the second assembly and include a leg supporting the table at the first position and move the leg to a position with a lower end of the leg laterally outward from an upper end of the leg.

Abstract: A folding table includes a single tabletop extending over a framework and legs. The folding table includes a first framework with a first pair of legs and a second framework including a second pair of legs. Folding linkages fold the tabletop between a first use position wherein the tabletop is substantially horizontal and second storage position wherein the tabletop is substantially vertical. A damping assembly includes a damper mounted to the tabletop and the frameworks and includes a damping linkage to guide and provide controlled folding and unfolding of the table.

A second assembly moves between a first position with the second assembly forming a table and a second position at which the second assembly forms a seat back complementary to the seat bottom. A frame has laterally spaced apart first and second upright frame portions, the first upright frame portion supporting the first assembly and the second upright frame portion supporting the second assembly. A lower frame portion extends laterally outward including a first lateral portion extending toward a first side beyond the first upright frame portion, and a second lateral portion extending toward a second side beyond the second upright frame portion. First linkages fold the first assembly and include a leg supporting the seat bottom at the first position, and lift and pivot the leg at the second storage position.

Abstract: A walk reel mower includes a pair of inclined rigid links for mounting the reel cutting unit to the reel mower frame for rolling about a longitudinal axis, and a pair of vertical support arms for mounting the reel cutting unit to the reel mower frame for pitching about a transverse axis. An integrated gearbox houses both the traction and reel drives, including the differential that is part of the traction drive, as well as a parking brake. A flexible drive shaft powers the cutting reel from the gearbox and is made from materials that do not require petroleum based lubricants to avoid the possibility of damage to the turf or grass. A single control handle located on the handle of the mower actuates both the reel and traction drives. The reel cutting unit includes a back plate which has a portion formed as a hollow beam for strength.

Abstract: A portable floor system having a plurality of floor panels configured for connection along abutting edges to form an extended floor surface. Each panel has a planar portion including a top surface, a core, and a bottom surface. Extruded edge portions include tongues along two edges and complementary tongues along the other two edges. Each edge also includes a panel connecting assembly along each edge, having a lock device extending from an edge into the core. The lock device mounts directly against an anchor element. The anchor element extends through the bottom surface and having a connector receiving portion.

Abstract: A folding table and seating apparatus has a generally oval shape and seating structures spaced around the periphery of the table. The folding table includes a pair of semicircular shaped tabletop sections folding along the straight edge of each section. A lock maintains the table in the unfolded position and is released by an end handle that extends downward from the center axis near the edges of the tabletop sections. The framework extends downward and out to eight stools, four stools spaced apart around the curving periphery of each tabletop section in a first seating configuration. In a second seating configuration, the framework supports four benches, two benches spaced apart around the curving periphery of each tabletop section. A support portion of the framework extends below each stool to provide spaced apart supports around the entire table or two legs extend downward from each bench. The benches and stools are interchangeable.

Abstract: A trailer for a walk greensmower comprises a trailer frame supported by a pair of ground engaging trailer wheels. The trailer frame includes a pair of spaced, parallel wheel ramps. A tongue is provided for connecting to a tow vehicle. The trailer frame is pivotal relative to the tongue and to the trailer wheels to tilt into an inclined loading position for loading the walk greensmower by driving the walk greensmower up the wheel ramps using the powered transport wheels of the walk greensmower. Once the walk greensmower is loaded onto the wheel ramps, the trailer frame is pivoted into a transport position in which the wheel ramps no longer engage the ground and the walk greensmower is carried on the wheel ramps. In one embodiment of this trailer, the wheel ramps comprise cylindrical rails and the transport wheels are grooved to ride on the top sides of the rails.
