  • Patent number: 7021221
    Abstract: A distribution of slip resistant under-surfacing on its frame secures this device on any flat, stable surface. Oblong bars connect perpendicularly to a corner. T-shaped grooves run the topside longitudinal axis of joined bars. T-nuts inside T-shaped grooves connect with threaded studs of hand wheels holding an oblong block in place on each bar. Each of these blocks connects with a mostly rectangular plate. An edge of each plate being opposed and parallel to the other plate's; opposed edges being covered with slip resistant material. Movement of oblong blocks towards corner moves surfaced plate edges into contact with objects positioned between plates. Plates' edging conforms to the object's contours thereby holding the object. A demountable column seats in frame's corner socket. This column has modular recesses which receive correspondingly positioned studs from a demountable bracket which functions as an adjustable shelf for other attachments.

  • Publication number: 20040194674
    Abstract: An apparatus for holding sheet material and bulk objects concurrently is disclosed. Each of a pair of parallel rectangular plates attaches to a rectangular, opposed block with hand wheels. Hand wheel threaded studs extend downwards through said block into the longitudinal slot of a rectangular bar and fasten into nuts seated at base of said slot. Said rectangular bars radically attach to a corner. Engagement of hand wheels applies and releases force against slot, both locking block and plate assembly and enabling said assembly to travel along said slot; travel in slots towards said corner pushes plates against one another yielding holding pressure. Slip resistant backing of bar and plate assembly stabilizes device on contact with any substantial, flat surface. A demountable column attaches to said corner and supports a rigid panel, and demountable shelf with holding attachments by means of stud insertion into modular recesses.

  • Patent number: 6302037
    Abstract: A demountable component table system to improve handicapped access to standard proportioned furnitures common to public places. A table top component has symmetrically positioned cut-outs for foam rubber covered, demountable flexible steel rods to pass from their frame component sockets upwards to the area above the top component where they provide upper body and arm support for occupant utilization and management of the cubic space above the table top. Frame mounted rods with Velcro attachments and a vertically mounted rigid tubular pole which inserts through the table top component into its socket mount in the table frame allow for customized positioning of objects in the cubic space above the top. The front side edge of the top component is cantilevered towards the occupant's chest. Varied types of demountable legs allow for height adjustment in inch increments.
