Abstract: An adjustable stairway is disclosed that is supported on a retractable, wheel mounted carriage. A locking mechanism selectively maintains the carriage in a lowered, ground engaging position for easy maneuvering of the stairway. The weight of the stairway urges the carriage into a raised position when the locking mechanism is released, allowing the stairway to rest on stationary foot pads.

Abstract: A portable shell of a lightweight construction usable as a room divider, display panel, or acoustical or visual enclosure detachably connectable to the framework for mounting in either a support position or a storage position. The leg structure includes a pair of legs each having a pivotally-mounted foot movable between an operative position or a storage position. Additionally, the shell has a canopy panel hinged to one end thereof for extending the height of the shell and the legs can be attached at different positions on the framework for providing different effective shell heights.

Abstract: A conductor's chair, podium and stand wherein a podium has a flat standing area at a relatively low level and both the chair and stand have a plurality of generally horizontally-extending legs with certain of the legs having a greater length to underlie and balance the off-center weight of the chair and stand, respectively, and with the longer legs being positionable under the podium to bring the chair and stand relatively close together and with minimal leg exposure beyond the perimeter of the podium. The chair and stand are of separable parts with interengaging sections which may be assembled in only one relation to assure stability in use.
