Abstract: An extendable support system having a plurality of support members and a plurality of pairs of spaced-apart side rails, each pair of which being affixed to one support member. Each of the support members move longitudinally relative to the other and include stop tabs which are configured to limit the longitudinal extension of the support system. The support members are L-shaped to add strength to the system as well as limit longitudinal retraction of the system. The extendable support system is attached to a platform by means of a pair of spaced-apart T-rails and includes extension means for increasing the angle of motion of a pivotal platform.

Abstract: An improved cleaning system is provided for use in cleaning upholstery such as carpet, drapes, furniture coverings, etc. The system includes a cleaning unit having a solution tank for receiving a selected cleaning solution, in combination with a pump and associated flow lines for delivering the cleaning solution to a cleaning tool. The system further includes a vacuum unit having a vacuum tank and associated pump and hose for vacuuming excess cleaning solution and debris from an upholstered surface. A multiported control valve interconnects the cleaning unit with the vacuum unit for facilitating removal of cleaning solution from the solution tank and associated flow lines as well as the cleaning tool.
