  • Patent number: 8789801
    Abstract: A symmetrical, balanced receptacle for storing, displaying or transporting goods, materials, people, plants or animals is suspended from a double-axis gimbal mounted on a framework. The receptacle is attached to the gimbal by adjustable bearings and a locking mechanism holds the receptacle in various positions, tilted forward or back, and swiveled to one side or the other. When the receptacle is unlocked, gravity holds it level, which is especially useful when the device is used to hold or transport cargo on sloping ground, turbulent water or shifting air currents. The framework may be stationary or attached to a wheeled vehicle, water craft, aircraft or other means of transport.

  • Patent number: 7578490
    Abstract: There is provided a stand of a display device for allowing more convenient adjustment of the display device to various positions. The stand includes a base unit, a supporting unit formed on a rear surface of the display device, a first two-link hinge unit, and a second two-link hinge unit. The first two-link hinge unit is provided between the base unit and the supporting unit for allowing revolution of the display device around an imaginary axis perpendicular to the display device. The second two-link hinge unit is provided between the base unit and the supporting unit for allowing revolution of the display device around an imaginary axis defined in a horizontal direction of display device.

  • Patent number: 4666219
    Abstract: A display unit has a body including a display screen, and a tilt mechanism including a support mounted on the bottom of the body and composed of two partly cylindrical continuous outer surfaces having spaced center axes of curvature, and a base having a plurality of projections on which the outer surfaces are slidably disposed. When the display unit is tilted to change the angle of the display screen with respect to the vertical direction, any point on the display screen is moved back and forth only for a small distance because the center axes of curvature are moved with turning movement of the outer surfaces.

  • Patent number: 4248397
    Abstract: A device for holding a cup (C) and maintaining liquid in the cup (C) while travelling in a vehicle includes a device (10, 100) for carrying the cup (C). The cup holding device (10, 100) is carried by a support member (20, 110) in such a manner so as to permit rotation of the cup holding device (10, 100) on a first axis. A stand (30, 40, 50, 120, 130, 140) carries the support member (20, 110) in such a manner so as to permit rotation thereof on a second axis generally 90.degree. of the first axis. The stand (30, 40, 50, 120, 130, 140) is adapted for mounting at a desired location in the vehicle. The cup (C) is thus free to act under its own inertia to maintain the liquid therein.
