A frame having a top side and a bottom side holds the surface panel above the top side and enables the surface panel to be positioned at a plurality angles relative to the frame. Appendages joined to the frame and deployable from the frame enable the frame and the surface panel to be supported a distance above a surface, where the distance is sufficient for enabling a second workspace between the frame and the surface.

Abstract: An adapter plate assembly which provides a convenient interface between a mounting support assembly for suspending an instrument driver robotic instrument system above a operating table. The adapter plate securely mounts to the operating table, and may be adjustable so that it can be adjusted to fit various sizes and models of operating tables. The adapter plate assembly comprises a main plate which rests on the surface of the operating table. A first clamp assembly which removably attaches to the operating table is mounted on one or more horizontal adjustment rods which are slidably received in one of the main plate in order to provide adjustability to the width of the adapter plate assembly. On the opposing end of the main plate, a second clamp assembly is coupled main plate. In order to secure the support assembly of a robotic instrument system, an adapter rail is also coupled to the main plate.

Abstract: A cleaning tray for the improved cleaning of surfaces is provided. The tray is releasably engagable with a plurality of different shaped horizontal surfaces, and allows the horizontal surface to overhang at least a portion of a collecting portion, with detritus easily swept from the horizontal surface into the collecting portion, and then into a waste container.

Abstract: A storage apparatus for use with outdoor observation stands is disclosed. The apparatus provides stable and practical support for placing, holding, storing and providing convenient access to food, drink, gear and supplies useful or necessary to hunters or observers utilizing a tree-mounted observation stand. The invention includes a retractable framework which incorporates a flexible panel having geometrically specific compartments for holding a variety of objects. The design of the invention allows the apparatus to securely store and hold heavy objects such as binoculars, ammunition, food and beverages and provides accessibility to such objects with minimal bodily movement.

Abstract: A small surgical table which can be attached directly to a C-arm X-ray machine. A flat plate of X-ray transparent material is provided as a surface on which surgical procedures can be performed. Clamping features are provided on the underside of this plate to allow its attachment to an image intensifier or an emitter of a C-arm machine. The clamping features are preferably made readily adjustable in order to allow the attachment of the surgical table to a wide variety of X-ray machines. The invention is particularly suited for surgeries involving a small portion of the anatomy—such as the hand. The direct attachment of the surgical table to the X-ray machine allows the surgeon to conveniently visualize the internal placement of orthopaedic hardware and other features both before and during the surgery.

Abstract: An apparatus for holding sheet material and bulk objects concurrently is disclosed. Each of a pair of parallel rectangular plates attaches to a rectangular, opposed block with hand wheels. Hand wheel threaded studs extend downwards through said block into the longitudinal slot of a rectangular bar and fasten into nuts seated at base of said slot. Said rectangular bars radically attach to a corner. Engagement of hand wheels applies and releases force against slot, both locking block and plate assembly and enabling said assembly to travel along said slot; travel in slots towards said corner pushes plates against one another yielding holding pressure. Slip resistant backing of bar and plate assembly stabilizes device on contact with any substantial, flat surface. A demountable column attaches to said corner and supports a rigid panel, and demountable shelf with holding attachments by means of stud insertion into modular recesses.

Abstract: A system for carrying an apparatus, such as a monitor, includes a pedestal having a base with a circumferential edge, and a peripheral device to be coupled to the pedestal. The base further includes a coupler for coupling the peripheral device thereto. The coupler is arranged to couple the peripheral device to the circumferential edge at any position thereof. This provides for flexibility and freedom of practical use when the set-up and arrangement of the system are altered, such that no substantial force has to be applied for lifting and rotating the pedestal carrying an apparatus, such as a monitor.

Abstract: An equipment loading plank that is detachably mounted on a machine tool table and used for easy and safe installation and removal of equipment on and off the machine tool work tables. The equipment loading plank includes a flat rectangular shaped body with an upper loading surface and a lower seating surface and a leg downwardly extending at an angle from one end of said loading plank. The leg is inserted into a T-slot in the machine tool table to detachably mount the loading plank to the machine tool table. The leg has a front face and a lower face that converge such that the leg can be wedged into the T-slot when the loading plank is seated on the machine tool table parallel to the upper surface of the machine tool table. The leg ends in a foot that prevents the leg from slipping from the T-slot whenever loads are placed on the loading plank.

Abstract: A picnic caddy is provided having first and second upright support pillars arranged in a parallel spaced apart relationship with respect to one another. A clamping mechanism is arranged at one end of the first and second upright support pillars for securing the picnic caddy to a picnic table or other horizontal surfaces. A first tray extends laterally away from one side of the upright support pillars. A second tray extends laterally away from another side of the upright support pillars. The first and second trays are provided with compartments for holding various picnic items and can include storage boxes for utensils, napkins and the like. In this manner, an advantageous and efficient picnic caddy is provided for picnic usage.

Abstract: A mounting device for removably attaching a support apparatus to a work surface, the support apparatus having a first mounting bracket with a first attachment plate and a second mounting bracket with a second attachment plate. The mounting device comprises a first clamp slidably connected to the first mounting bracket and a second clamp slidably connected to the second mounting bracket. Each clamp has a first wall, a second wall, and a third wall. The first attachment plate is positioned between the first and third walls of the first clamp, and the second attachment plate is positioned between the first and third walls of the second clamp.

Abstract: Vertical suspension legs are clamped to a margin of a desk top. The suspension legs support a tray at a plurality of selectable vertical levels. There is a connection station on each vertical leg corresponding to each of the vertical levels. The tray has engagement devices for engaging the connection stations corresponding to any selected vertical level. Each connection station can be a plurality of detents which mate with a corresponding plurality of tangs projecting from a side of the tray. The plurality of tangs engaging a corresponding plurality of detents prevents rotation of the tray about the connection points. The stations can also be laterally open horizontal open slots defined by the vertical legs which mate with side rails projecting from the tray. Slidingly extending through the vertical legs are vertical shanks, the top ends of which are connected to an elongated crossbar.

Abstract: A portable shelf apparatus for a notebook computer adapted to be mounted on a stationary body such as a table having an edge in which a pair of folding supports each includes an elongated support arm and a hanger for suspending the support from the edge, the hanger and arm are joined by a support hinge, and a deck having opposite ends attached to the support arms for supporting the notebook computer thereon. Each end of the deck is either foldably attached to one of the support arms by an end hinge or slidably attached via a tongue and groove joint. The deck may also include at least two folding leaves joined by a central buttress hinge. The hanger is a generally U-shaped support device having an upper suspension member and a lower stabilizer member and an opening therebetween for receiving the table edge.

Abstract: An accessory table adapted for detachable attachment to an article of furniture, such as a desk, is disclosed.
