  • Patent number: 7661374
    Abstract: An expandable table assembly having a table top, a base, a plurality of legs supporting the base, and a plurality of releasably attachable expansion members that can be used to expand the table surface beyond the surface area of the unexpanded table top. The table top is repositionable from a first use position to a second use position by lifting the table top above the base, rotating the table top 90 degrees relative to the base in a substantially horizontal plane, and then lowering the table top back onto the base. The expansion members are attachable to the base only when the table top is in the second use position and, when attached, become part of the total surface area of the table.

  • Patent number: 7571888
    Abstract: A slab formwork comprising vertical props, fixed bolsters mounted on the upper end of the props and shuttering panels supported on the bolsters. In correspondence with the four corners of a planar, horizontal and upper surface of the bolsters, some diagonal protuberances project outward with their upper surface inclined downward toward the interior and with two slopes defining individual inclined planes convergent in a common and longitudinal edge, the upper surface defining the support for the corresponding shuttering panels, the latter having on their corners some reinforcements. There are also defined complementary inclined surfaces to the two slopes of the upper surfaces of the protuberances, those reinforcements being supplemented with lateral flanges by means of which it is possible to hang the shuttering panels, both for carrying out their erection and for their dismantling.

  • Patent number: 6494419
    Abstract: A stand to support an object has a bottom frame and two side frames. The side frames are each pivotally attached to opposite ends of the bottom frame with a pair of pivot pins. The pairs of pivot pins are located at different heights. A clasp is mounted on each side frame to detachably engage the bottom frame. When the clasps are released from the bottom frame, the side frames can be pivoted relative to the bottom frame. The stand is foldable. Because the side frames are respectively pivotally attached to the bottom frame by pairs of pivot pins at different heights, one of the side frames can overlap the other side frame. The size of the stand is reduced. Transporting and storing the stand become more convenient.
