  • Patent number: 6494291
    Abstract: An erectable and transportable scaffold device adapted to be engaged on and supported on a support beam comprises front and rear frame structures which are pivotally interconnected by means of parallel side braces which are connected between the frame structures. A scaffold plate is pivotally connected to the lower ends of each of the front and rear frames. And the front frame is pivotal outwardly from the rear structure to form a cage within the front and rear structures and the side braces having a floor formed by a scaffold plate. The plate has upright bottom edges which fit flush against the insides of an angle member forming the sides of the front fra me structure so that it facilitates the holding of the structure in an erected cage forming position. A flexible or foldable member such as a chain or so is connected between the upper ends of each side of the front structure to the upper ends of each side of the rear structure.

  • Patent number: 5590862
    Abstract: A device for adjusting the length of a support composed of an outer tube and an inner tube slidably inserted in the outer tube, includes an opening extending radially through the outer tube, a spacer radially movably received in the opening and confronted with an outer surface of the inner tube, a housing mounted on the outer tube in confronting relation to the opening, and a wedge slidably inserted in the housing to force the spacer radially inwardly against the inner tube. With this construction, the inner tube and the outer tube can be firmly fastened together with a great tightening force without damaging the inner tube. A stopper pivoted on the wedge and normally urged upward by a spring is able to preclude an unintended omission of driving the wedge or an incompletely driven or tightened condition of the wedge.

  • Patent number: 5369958
    Abstract: An air conditioner in which, when a first compressor is being operated and a second compressor is being stopped, liquid refrigerant does not flow into the second compressor even in a state of wet vapor suction, a decrease in lubricating oil in the second compressor or a decline in its concentration are not experienced, and breakage of the second compressor does not occur owing to faulty lubrication when the second compressor is started. In addition, to obtain an air conditioner which does not lapse into a wasteful shortage of cooling and heating capabilities when the air conditioner is not in the state of wet vapor suction, by reliably detecting the presence or absence of the state of wet vapor suction. In the air conditioner, the first compressor and the second compressor are connected together by an equalizing pipe. A bypass passage which connects together a discharge pipe and a suction pipe of the second compressor is provided.
