  • Decorative cover frame assembly for selectively concealing a flat panel or high definition television display
    Patent number: 7287737
    Abstract: A cover frame assembly for use in conjunction with an existing flat panel display of a display device such as a high definition television. The cover frame assembly comprises an outer frame, and a one-way mirror attached within the outer frame. After mounting the flat panel display to a wall, the outer frame is selectively extended over the flat panel display and is supported by the flat panel display. The images projected by the flat panel display upon activation of the display device are easily seen through the one-way mirror. When the display device is deactivated, the reflective surface of the one-way mirror obscures the flat panel display, and the combined frame assembly and flat panel display appear to be a decorative, wall mounted mirror.

  • Expandable table
    Patent number: 6009814
    Abstract: An expandable table, comprising a tabletop layer, a guide layer, an actuation layer, a central axis, and a base. The tabletop layer comprises a plurality of segments, each having a pair of segment sides which meet at a segment point. When the tabletop is in the retracted position, all segment sides correspond with segment sides of adjacent segments, and the segment points meet at the central axis of the table. The guide layer comprises a plurality of radial guide slots which equal in number the number of segments. The actuation layer comprises a plurality of arcuate slots which equal the guide slots and which spiral outward from and around the center. A vertical rod extends downward from each of the segments and engages one of the radial guide slots and one of the arcuate actuating slots. The position of each segment is thus at all times defined by the relative position of its associated guide slot and actuating slot.
