  • Patent number: 5870699
    Abstract: A hand held data collector and analyzer achieves superior stability, accuracy and reliability through the use of a fixed frequency anti-aliasing filter and two analog to digital converters, one for high frequency signals and one for low frequency signals. Efficient digital filtering and decimation is achieved by providing specialized hardware filters and decimators and implementing software filters and decimators in a data processor. A true zoom method is employed to take advantage of the filtering and decimation capabilities, and independent digital signal processors operate serially on incoming signals to further reduce demands on the central processing unit. In addition, the RAM system memory is formatted as a pseudo-card to facilitate use of a PCMCIA memory card or the RAM system memory.

  • Patent number: 5667066
    Abstract: A hamper assembly is provided having a tubular support frame and a mating bag. The frame comprises crossed first and second substantially rectangular sections that are coupled at the crossing points of the sections by elastomeric rings permitting pivotal movement, as well as lateral and longitudinal flexibility. A mating hamper bag is supported by the tubular frame and has two fabric side panels and a continuous U-shaped panel of mesh material that forms the two ends and bottom of the bag. The side panels are attached to loops along their upper edges that receive the top tubes of the hamper frame. A U-shaped stretch panel is attached along the lower edge of each side panel and extends around and under each bottom tube of the frame. With the hamper fully open, the stretch panel stretches the bottom panel to maximize the capacity of the bag. As the hamper is opened and closed, the bottom tubes slide on the stretch panel.

  • Patent number: 5483761
    Abstract: An ironing board assembly for mounting on a standard door includes a tubular mounting frame, a pivoted ironing board on the frame and retractable holders on the frame to secure the assembly with respect to the face of the door to resist lateral shifting during ironing and during swinging of the door when the assembly is not in use. The frame is supported by brackets over the top of the door. The holders are mounted on the frame adjacent the bottom and include an integral suction cup and ring. The ring pivots on the tubular frame for retracting to a position substantially within the lateral profile of the frame for protection during handling, such as shipping, but readily positionable through 90.degree. and facing the door during use.

  • Patent number: 5335432
    Abstract: An adjustable ironing table (11) includes a top board (12) and collapsible legs (14,16). The legs are retained in a stored position by a lock mechanism (60) that has a lock plate (68) spring biased to a locking position. A handle (72) can be operated to release the lock plate (68). The top board (12) has a mesh section (30) that has a stepped periphery (32) welded to a flange section (36) of a tubular frame member (35). The ends (37) of the frame member are affixed together by a bracket (41) welded to each end. A hanger rail (90) is pivotably mounted under the frame (34) to move between a stored position and a usable position. A pair of cord elevation devices (114) are mounted to the hanger rail (90).

  • Patent number: 4961388
    Abstract: An ironing table assembly (10) of the type for movement between stored and work positions and particularly adapted for fixed connection in a closet (12). The assembly (10) includes a support member (20) which may be secured to the closet floor (16) and the closet rod (14). A pivot member (48) is pivotally secured to the tubular member and presents a tubular portion (54). A table (42) is included and has a guide rod (58) depending therefrom. The guide rod (58) is slideably retained in the tubular portion (54). An arm (62) is pivotally connected to the tubular support member (20) at one end and is pivotally mounted to the bottom of the table (42) at the other end. The arm (62) guides rotational and translational movement of the table (42) in a fore and aft (Y-Z) plane from the upper stored position to a knife edge position. The table is then rotated to a lateral (X-Z) plane to the lower work position. A socket member (66) limits rotational movement of the board from the knife edge to the working position.

  • Patent number: 4811438
    Abstract: A bed frame assembly (11) includes a plurality of rails (14,16) connected together to form a substantially rectangular frame (12). Legs support the rails (14,16) above the floor (24). A drawer support structure (32) supports a drawer (28) below the bed frame (12). The drawer support structure (32) is substantially C-shaped when viewed in plan view and has two spaced parallel portions (34,36) and an intermediate portion (38) interconnecting the parallel portions (34,36).
