Abstract: A lifting device for an armrest contains: a first fitting tube, a second fitting tube, and a holder. The first fitting tube includes a connector, a hollow part, a first channel, and a second channel. The first channel has a vertical section and a hollow section, the second channel has an operation area, multiple positioning teeth, multiple limitation areas, plural protrusions, and multiple defining recesses. The second fitting tube is hollow and includes a lateral part and a longitudinal part fitted on an outer wall of the lateral part of the first fitting tube, and the longitudinal part has a projection arranged on an inner wall of the longitudinal part and housed in one of the multiple defining recesses. The holder is mounted on a top of the lateral part of the second fitting tube.

Abstract: The present invention relates to outdoor grill accessories, and more particularly, a foldable worktable attachment for an outdoor grill that includes a large table area that is interconnected to a lower shelf by two sets of foldable legs. When in an erect position, the table provides ample space for preparing foods and the like, but when in a collapsed position, the table lies flush against one of the sides of the grill housing, thus, enclosing the lower shelf and supporting legs that are folded and stored between the table and a recessed area included in the grill housing.

Abstract: Inductively coupled work surfaces with integrated primary coils are provided. Power is inductively coupled from a work surface with an integrated primary coil to a handheld device containing a secondary coil. The inductively coupled work surface may be a home work surface, an ergonomic industrial work bench, a work surface installed in the interior of a vehicle, or a collapsible work surface accessible from the exterior of a vehicle. Primary coils integrated into a work surface may provide varying amounts of power. Devices containing secondary coils, such as laptop computers, PDAs, cell phones, and power tools, are charged when placed on the work surface where primary coils are integrated.

Abstract: An expandable and collapsible table for use with a miter saw or for recreational use. A support structure includes a truss that is expandable and collapsible in the horizontal direction. A pair of expansion leaves are pivotally connected to opposing sides of the support structure. A support arm and extension arm work in combination with a locking mechanism to maintain the expansion leaves in the horizontal position or alternatively to allow the expansion leaves to collapse to a vertical position.

Abstract: A leaf support for selectively supporting and placing drop leaves of tables and wall mounts in an in use position or a storage position. The leaf support includes a pair of channel-shaped arms pivotally connected at one end about an arms pivot axis. The other ends of the arms are adapted for pivotal attachment to a drop leaf or frame to which the drop leaf is connected. A helical spring is located within the channel-shaped arms and connected to the two arms at its ends thereof. A ring and cover member including a U-shaped member having a base portion and two legs attached thereto and a ring connected to the base portion is provided. The two arms near their pivotal connection are received within and between the two legs and the legs are pivotally connected to the arms so as to pivot about the arms pivot axis.

Abstract: A telescopic brace assembly for supporting a work surface 1 which can be folded relative to a frame structure 5 includes two tubes 6,7 which are capable of being moved telescopically, one within the other, and the mutually opposite free ends of which are intended to be pivotally connected to a respective one of the objects. Arranged within the telescopic tubes is a spring 14 which biases the tubes together. The brace assembly further includes a locking arm 8 for releasably locking the tubes in a working position. The spring is arranged to be compressed as the tubes are extended one from the other, while storing energy. The extent to which the tubes can be withdrawn one from the other is determined by the extent to which the spring can be compressed.

Abstract: A telescopic stay for two objects which can be folded relative to one another, particularly for supporting a work surface which can be folded in relation to a frame structure. The stay includes two tubes 6, 7 which can be telescoped one within the other and which are intended for pivotal connection at mutually opposite ends thereof to a respective one of said objects, and further includes an inner guide tube 8 arranged in the telescopic tubes, a tension spring 15 which extends axially through all tubes, and a locking means 9 for releasably locking the telescopic tubes in a given working position relative to one another. To facilitate mounting of the stay, the inner guide tube is fixed axially in relation to one telescopic tube and accompanies the movement of this tube in relation to the other telescopic tube.
