Abstract: A gas cylinder cart includes a frame, a first control assembly composed of a first control panel wall and a first gas distribution assembly, a second control assembly composed of a second control panel wall and a second gas distribution assembly, and a central manifold connected to each of the first and second control assemblies. The central manifold includes a valve assembly allowing for connection of both the first and second control assemblies to gas cylinders, connection of only one of the first and second control assemblies to gas cylinders, or connection of the first and/or second control assemblies to remote gas sources. Inclusion of the first and second control assemblies within the gas cylinder cart allows for use of the gas cylinder cart in conjunction with different systems that might require different control assemblies.

Abstract: A duct canister for attachment to an axial fan includes a canister body having a first end with a first opening, a second end with a second opening, and a side wall extending between the first end and the second end of the canister body. The canister body includes an enclosed space defined by an interior surface of the side wall in which a duct is selectively stored for later extension and use. The second opening at the second end of the canister body is selectively covered by a cover member. A hinge assembly attaches the cover member to the second end of the canister body in a manner allowing one to selectively pivot the cover member between a closed configuration with the cover member fully covering the second opening and an opened configuration, wherein the opened configuration includes rotating the cover member 90 degrees from the closed configuration so as to open the second opening or rotating the cover member 180 degrees to a position beneath the canister body.

Abstract: A portable stand includes a supporting frame, wherein the supporting frame has a base assembly operatively connected to at least one extendible leg for movement about a pivotal axis. The base assembly includes a base plate adapted for attachment to an interior of a case. The supporting frame also includes a telescoping mast assembly having a mast support bracket assembly adapted for attachment to the interior of the case. The telescoping mast assembly is operatively connected to a telescopically extendible mast for selective retraction of said extendible mast for storage inside of the interior of the case. The mast further includes a mount for at least one functional device. The mount permits a functional device attached thereto to have multiple degrees of freedom of motion.

Abstract: A portable stand with an integral power supply and controller, a mast for supporting a functional device and a stabilizing leg assembly comprises a main housing for a power supply, and connected to the main housing are retractable and extendable support legs and an extendable and retractable mast. The mast includes a mount for holding at least one functional device to form a single, integral unit that provides for storage, stable support and power for a functional device that is mounted onto the mast, and portability.

Abstract: A collapsible portable stand comprises support legs and a mast that collapse into a small equipment enclosure or case, forming one single, integral unit that provides for storage, stable support for a device that is mounted onto the mast, and portability. The legs and mast are operatively connected to the case and preferably have extendable length. In an embodiment, the legs and mast are connected to the case via hinges that provide for the legs and mast to rotate with respect to the case. The case preferably has wheels and an extendable handle for ease of transport when the legs and mast are collapsed into the case. An embodiment includes an internal storage case that has a moveable cover that can include controls for and/or connections to a device stored in the internal storage case. An alternative embodiment includes a larger portable stand that has components that are external of the case and/or are independent of a case.

Abstract: A stand includes a main housing having a power supply cavity and a control cavity in which a power supply and controller are respectively housed. The main housing also includes access ports for external connection with the power supply. The stand also includes a leg assembly attached to a first side wall of the main housing, the leg assembly allowing for outward extension of a first leg and a second leg to increase the stability of the stand. The stand further includes a telescoping mast attached to the main housing. The telescoping mast includes a mount for the selective attachment of a functional device thereto. A power and control conduit connects the power supply and mount for the transmission of electric power and control signals to the functional device.
