  • Patent number: 6055912
    Abstract: An adjustable height table includes a pair of spaced upright support members each having an upper free end and a lower end, with the lower ends each connected to a pair of leg members. A work surface is disposed between the support members. A pair of forwardly extending brackets and a pair of rearwardly extending brackets are each adjustable mounted to the support members and the work surface is connected to the brackets by manually operable latches. The work surface is thereby height adjustable by adjusting the positions of the brackets on the support members and the entire assembly may be packaged and shipped in essentially flat form and easily assembled without tools at its shipped destination.

  • Patent number: 5618092
    Abstract: A furniture drawer is constructed by providing a generally flat, elongate metal body member and manually bending the member to form a rear wall and a pair of side walls. Bending of the body member to form corners at the juncture of the side walls and rear wall is facilitated by transverse coined indentations in the body member which create lines of weakness in the body for accurately locating the corners. The body member is also formed with channels for receiving drawer slides and for receiving a bottom panel. Flanges formed at forward ends of the body member provide for attachment of a suitable drawer front. The drawer assembly as thus designed is capable of being economically packaged flat and shipped for easy assembly by the consumer.

  • Patent number: 5279100
    Abstract: The high speed rotary cutter bed of a harvester or other mowing machine has a rubberized deflector curtain that wraps around opposite ends and front extremities of the cutter bed to guard against thrown objects, yet permit the ingress of standing crop materials as the machine is advanced. The curtain is divided into a series of discrete sections which mutually overlap along their upright marginal edges so as to permit independent raising and lowering of the curtain sections with their respective, overhead rigid covers into positions permitting access to the cutter bed for maintenance or other purposes.
