Abstract: A stage system and apparatus for construction of flat stages, choral risers, and the like which utilizes a basic structural flat rectangular panel module with an edge of extruded material having a re-entrant groove on the outer surface and upper and lower sockets on each side of each corner of the panel to receive support legs fashioned to be received in the bottom sockets. Railing stanchions are provided to seat in the top sockets. In the vertically spaced and overlapping choral risers, the top sockets serve to locate the overlap and mechanically lock the panels in an overlap position. Inserts received in the re-entrant groove interengage with the re-entrant groove of an adjacent panel to provide lateral and vertical stability to adjacent panels.Special leg brackets are provided to engage the bottom sockets of two to four adjacent module panels to provide vertical support and lateral retention. Leg assemblies can be formed as a folding frame to facilitate shipping and storage.

Abstract: A staging system composed of portable components to provide an inexpensive system which is easily assembled and disassembled and which has safety connections and strengthening elements to assure safe assembly and a level platform. A series of panels carrying adjustable supporting stanchions spaced by detachable joists on which are supported drop-in filler panels with interlock devices to assure proper lock-in of the separable parts.

Abstract: A noodle making machine for vertical mounting in a kitchen area designed to move and shape a lump of noodle dough into a strip or flat and pass it downward through pairs of rollers having progressively narrower spacing and progressively increasing speed to narrow and stretch the dough prior to introduction into noddle cutting rollers. Roller cleaning and clearing blades, together with funnel type guides, insure downward progress of the dough. The roller speed progression preferably has an exponential relationship to insure proper progress of the dough.
