Abstract: Disclosed is a folding wagon having a frame that is folded from an expanded configuration at which a variety of articles are carried in a basket to a compact collapsed configuration at which to facilitate the storage or transport of the wagon. A removable canopy is held above the basket by a plurality of hollow mounting posts that are pivotally connected to respective corner brackets mounted on the frame and a corresponding plurality of telescoping canopy support rods that engage the canopy and slide through the hollow mounting posts to adjust the distance between the canopy and the basket. The canopy support rods are disengaged from the canopy to separate the canopy from the wagon, and the pluralities of mounting posts and canopy support rods are rotatable together relative to the wagon frame between a first position standing upwardly from the basket and a second position lying alongside the basket.

Abstract: A table assembly (10), including a removable table top (12) having respective generally flat main surfaces (14, 16), and a supporting structure (18) for the table top (12), the supporting structure (18) including at least two frames (20) each having two upright legs (22) connected by at least one substantially horizontal member (24, 26), whereby the table top (12) rests on the upright legs (22). The frames (20) are mutually articulated about a vertical axis (32) by coupling the horizontal members (24, 26) at a position intermediate their respective ends (34, 36), such that the frames (20) pivot about the vertical axis (32) with respect to each other between an expanded position for supporting the table top (12) and a collapsed position for storage. In some forms of the invention, positive engagement between the table top and the supporting structure stabilise the supporting structure in the expanded position and prevents accidental collapsing of the table assembly.

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.

Abstract: The system used to form slabs on large surfaces includes a grid structure comprised of vertical braces, support bolsters, primary beams and cross beams, all of which rest on the bolsters, with the cross beams closing the grid and providing a stiffness to the structure that allows assembly of the entire grid structure and the later positioning of the formwork panels. The bolsters provide support so that the beams can descend to a stripping position allowing to recover, before the concrete sets, both the beams and the panels. The longitudinal beams are provided with supports for the panels, constructed such that they allow the panels to hang vertically during the stripping operation. The cross beams end at a profile made of rubber or the like providing a means for sealing the grid, as well as for absorbing any possible clearances originated during the assembly of the panels.

A structure comprising an indented female blow-molded connector having a first wall having a top surface and a thickness, with the first wall surrounding an opening. At least one inner wall extends substantially perpendicular to the first wall and borders the opening. At least one rib is formed in the inner wall. A bottom wall is joined to the inner wall and the distance from the rib to the top surface is greater than the thickness of the first wall. The structure further comprising a male connector having a contact edge that, when positioned inside the indented female blow-molded connector, engage the at least one rib, such that the male connector and indented female blow-molded connector are releaseably joinable with one another.

Abstract: The present invention is a collapsible table that has the benefit of the interlocking legs supporting each other independently of the top, and of supporting the top itself. The present invention table includes components generally referred to as interlocking legs, but because one set extends to the floor and the other set need not extend to the floor, they are more specifically referred to as table support members and table brace members. In the present invention table, there is a pair of table support members, each table support member having a general frontal view shape of an inverted “U”. There is a substantially horizontal top portion and two substantially vertical leg portions, the top portion having two receiving slots at opposite ends from one another. These two receiving slots face or open upwardly when the table support members are upright for assembly, and these receiving slots have a predetermined height, h, and a predetermined width, w−1.

Abstract: A stand with a planar table top and an opening therethrough is provided. A plurality of leg members extend below the table top. The stand also includes a removable table top disposed within the opening such that the upper surface of the table top insert is generally planar with the upper surface of the table top. To convert the stand to a decorative container, the table top insert is removed and a container is lowered through the opening until it is positioned where the table top insert was located.

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.

Abstract: A table is provided, the top of which is secured to a frame provided with at least two longitudinal members and at least two cross members that are displaceable relative to the longitudinal members. The longitudinal and cross members are interconnected by connection elements to which the table legs are secured. Each connection element is provided with a base member having two intersecting mounting recesses for the longitudinal cross members. The shape of the mounting members is essentially adapted to the outer profile of the longitudinal and cross members. A securing element is provided for fixing the longitudinal and cross members in position in their mounting recesses.

Abstract: A salt platform (400) is disclosed which incorporates a top member (402), a bottom member (404) and a spacing member (406) that spaces the top and bottom members a pre-determined vertical distance apart. A series of bracing member assemblies (408) are connected between the top member and bottom member to provide support for the salt platform. The top surface of the top member (402) and top portions of the bracing member assemblies (408) lie in a single plane (432) to support a salt grid.
