  • Publication number: 20070064096
    Abstract: A roll over audio visual control center (“roll over platform”) designed to be embedded for use within the top of a conference table to display, in an inverted position, a power or communications outlet for use on top of the conference table or to hide, in a regular position, the power or communications outlet under the conference table when not in use. The roll over platform consists of two main parts: a housing and a control center. The housing is rectangular in shape and forms a hollow center. The control center approximates the rectangular shape of the housing and is secured within the hollow center of the housing by a hinge. The hinge enables the rotation of the control center within the hollow center of the housing. The roll over platform further consists of a means to secure the control center to the housing to enable the regular and inverted positions of the control center with respect to the housing.

The platform consists of two main parts: a collar and a support base. The collar has a geometric shape and forms a hollow center. The support base approximates the geometric shape of the collar and is secured within the hollow center of the collar by a hinge. The hinge enables 180° rotation of the support base within the hollow center of the collar. Audio means are mounted to the bottom surface of the support base and the top surface coordinates with the conference tabletop. When not in use the support base is pivoted to a non-use static position the top surface coplanar with the conference table surface. To use the audio means, the support base is pivoted to its use position bringing the audio means to the tabletop surface.

  • Patent number: 3966221
    Abstract: An improved yarn shipping rack that is modular in concept and includes an outer, skeletal frame having vertical and horizontal members united to form same is disclosed herein. Inner horizontal members in vertical alignment are secured to outer vertical members, and have yarn package receiving elements provided thereon that extend angularly outwardly therefrom. The yarn package receiving elements are preferably provided on both sides and are staggered or offset on each side with respect to each adjacent element to permit a greater number of yarn packages to be received in a given unit of space. Stacking means for the individual modules are provided at the upper and/or lower ends of same to receive the next adjacent module and hold same against appreciable lateral movement. A group of modules may thus be safely stacked during storage and/or transit. Channels or other means are provided on the lower end of each module to receive a lifting element such as a fork-lift or the like.
