Abstract: To provide a usable workspace for use at tradeshows, conventions and similar events, a collapsible transaction table is uniquely designed to provide transportability and flexibility regarding its setup. In its collapsed condition, the transaction table itself is contained and thereby easily transportable. In its expanded condition, components are provided to provide a usable transaction table which preferably sits at a countertop height but with which also may be modified to further extend into a countertop configuration. To achieve the counter top configuration, a pair of transaction tables are coupled with one another utilizing specifically configured bridging elements to thus create a stable and usable countertop. The transaction tables themselves include a collapsible base unit and tabletop elements which are removably attachable to the base units in an interlocking manner to provide additional stability.

Each of the link members is connected detachably to an adjacent pair of the support members so as to interconnect and position the support members relative to one another.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for reclaiming a useful oil product, from waste oil provides an evaporation chamber in which waste oil is heated and vaporized, preferably at a temperature which causes some cracking of the oil. Hydrogen is injected into the vaporized oil, so to cause saturation of at least some of the olefins in the vaporized oil. The vaporized oil is then condensed and recovered as a useful oil product. The apparatus operates at substantially atmospheric pressure, or a pressure only slightly above atmospheric pressure. Hydrogenation of the vaporized oil stabilizes the recovered oil, and prevents formation of tars and other heavier hydrocarbons, which can cause difficulties in use of the recovered oil.

Abstract: A tilt and roll support for pool tables and other game tables having a frame attached to the underside of the table. The opposite ends of the frame have pivot shafts which are axially aligned with the longitudinal axis of the table. Support assemblies at the ends of the table are pivotally about the pivot shafts so the table may be rotated between a vertical stored position and a horizontal use position. The lower portion of the support assemblies are retractable against the bottom of the table for storage and may be extended to a vertical position. The lower portion of the support assemblies are on rollers or casters and are extendible so the weight of the table may be transferred to the tilt and roll supports for movement and storage. When the table is in use, the table is supported on conventional legs.

Abstract: A collapsible cart basically for serving food. A ground support assembly includes an axle with a wheel at each end and a caster cross-bar perpendicular to the axle with a caster at each end which provides great stability. Two sets of three parallel vertical bars are pivotally supported from the axle. One set is near the outer end and another set at the other end of the axle. Shelves are supported between the two sets at spaced intervals by pivots on each vertical bar such that each shelf is in a horizontal position throughout the range of rotation of the vertical bar about its pivot.

Abstract: A mobile folding stage unit has right and left platform sections pivotably mounted in side-by-side relation to a frame, corresponding sets of roller wheels mounted to the frame, pivot brackets mounted to the bottom of the platform sections, support brackets mounted to the frame to which the platform sections are pivotably mounted via the pivot brackets, and pivot legs pivotably mounted to an eccentric position on the corresponding pivot brackets and slidable in pivotable bearing guides mounted to the frame adjacent the corresponding roller wheels. When the platform sections are folded to the vertical position for storage, the pivot legs are lifted above the wheels, and when they are opened to the horizontal position for use, the pivot legs are lowered to lift the wheels out of contact with the ground.

Abstract: A collapsible stand having a top (14) formed by two mating leaves (15, 17) and supported by legs (28, 30, 32, 34). The legs are pivotedly joined to braces (20, 22, 24, 26) underlying the leaves. The components of the stand pivot with respect to one another so to allow the stand to be easily erected and collapsed. However, due to interaction between at least one of the braces and at least one retainer (64) on the underside of one of the leaves the stand cannot be collapsed without initial planar movement of the leaves away from one another. Since such movement is rare during normal usage, the stand is strong and secure during normal usage. A pair of brackets (80, 82) for holding dimensional lumber (79) may be attached to the braces. When the lumber is placed in the brackets, the stand is further secured in its erect position.
