Abstract: A portable support for supporting equipment above a surface having an opening to a subsurface space. The support includes a head, an elevator on the head, and legs connected to the head for supporting the head above the surface. Each of the legs has a foot for engaging the surface when supporting the head above the surface. The support also includes an elongate rod vertically mounted on the elevator for movement between a raised position, in which an upper end of the rod extends above the head, and a lowered position, in which a lower end of the rod extends below the feet of the legs to extend into the subsurface space. The support includes an instrument platform positionable on the lower end of the rod when in the lowered position to support the equipment in the subsurface space when the rod is in the lowered position.

Abstract: A unipod rotating apparatus includes a main rod, an adapting platform fixing photographic equipment, and a rotating device connecting the adapting platform to the main rod in a rotatable manner, in which the rotating device includes a rotating tube, a first connecting structure, a second connecting structure and a rotation connecting structure, in which the rotating tube is sleeved around the main rod; the first connecting structure fixedly connects the adapting platform to the upper end of the rotating tube; the second connecting structure is fixedly connected to the upper end of the main rod; and the rotation connecting structure is arranged between the first connecting structure and the second connecting structure, such that the first connecting structure and the second connecting structure are connected with each other in a relatively rotatable manner.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a display apparatus having a display body, comprising: a connecting member combined with the display body at an upper end part thereof and having a swivel part at a lower end part thereof; and a base having a swivel supporter where the swivel part is inserted and supporting the swivel part to be rotatable. Thus, the present invention provides a display apparatus which is swiveled stably and smoothly with a slim structure.

Abstract: Lid holder apparatus including a lid holder body is attached to the bottom horizontal surface of a cabinet and is pivotally movable between a position in which the lid holder body is completely under the cabinet and a position wherein the lid holder body extends from the cabinet and is utilized to hold a lid upside down.

Abstract: A turntable includes a rotatable member rotatable together with a display portion about a predetermined axis line, a fixed member disposed on one side of the rotatable member in a direction of the axis line, a first friction plate whose rotation about the axis line is restricted by the rotatable member (and movable relative to the rotatable member in a direction of the axis line), and a second friction plate whose rotation about the axis line is restricted by the fixed member (and movable relative to the fixed member in a direction of the axis line). The first friction plate and the second friction plate are disposed between the fixed member and the rotatable member in a direction of the axis line. At least, a sliding contact portion between the fixed member and the first friction plate, a sliding contact portion between the first friction plate and the second friction plate, and a sliding contact portion between the second friction plate and the rotatable member are provided.

Abstract: An instrument stand with variable ground contact positions of its supporting pods is disclosed. It has a standing post mounted with two positioning rings. One of them is fixed, and the other can slide relative to the former. The positioning rings have several supporting bases and several connecting elements that fix with the supporting bases after angle adjustment. The supporting pods are locked on the two positioning rings. Each supporting pod is controlled by the relative motion of the two positioning rings to expand and collapse. The ground contact positions of the supporting pods of the invention are thus variable.

Abstract: A support for a cylindrically-shaped accessory has a first frame defining a receptacle for a cylindrically-shaped accessory and a connecting assembly. The first frame has a bottom wall and a peripheral bracing wall structure. The bottom wall defines an upwardly facing surface. The peripheral bracing wall structure extends at least partially around a region occupied by a cylindrically-shaped accessory in the upright stored orientation, bearing on the upwardly-facing surface, to thereby limit tipping of the cylindrically-shaped accessory. The connecting assembly has first and second connector parts attachable one each to the first frame and second frame upon which the support can be placed. The first and second connector parts are engagable, each with the other, by relatively translating the first and second connector parts along a connecting line.

Abstract: An adapter is provided for mounting a wind turbine on the upper end of a wind turbine tower even though the yaw plate of the wind turbine is not complementary in shape to the upper end of the wind turbine tower.

Abstract: An anchoring fixture for stools capable of adjusting elevation is installed on an axle hub hinged on the top end of tripod legs which rest on the floor. The axle hub has a longitudinal axle hole to hold a screw post fastened to the bottom of a stool. The axle hub has a hinge portion on one side of the top surface. The hinge portion has lugs on two sides to be coupled with one end of two clamping members. The clamping members have another end to be fastened by a fastening element. The hinge portion and the two clamping members have respectively a thread portion which jointly mates and couples with the screw post beneath the stool. Thus the elevation of the stool may be rapidly adjusted upwards and downwards to clamp the screw post tightly.

Abstract: A support arm for use in a respiratory circuit is provided. The support arm includes a plurality of arm segments that are movably connected with one another such that the arm segments are adjustable with respect to another. At least one inflatable bladder is provided. The bladder is operably disposed at a point of connection between at least two of the arm segments. The arm segments are locked into position with respect to one another upon inflation of the bladder. The arm segments are released and positionable with respect to one another upon deflation of the bladder. Also, a respiratory support member is attached to one of the arm segments. The respiratory support member is configured for engaging the respiratory circuit to support the respiratory circuit.

Abstract: The present invention is a wheelchair swivel platform that allows a standard, unmodified wheelchair or other non-swiveling chair and an occupant to swivel about an area of a workstation, in much the same way as a modem swivel office chair. The wheelchair swivel platform includes a top plate 16 and a bottom plate. The bottom plate serves as a base for the platform which lies on the floor to support the top plate 16. The top plate 16 swivels about the bottom plate while supporting the wheelchair. A rotation locking device prevents rotation of the platform during positioning of the wheelchair on and off the platform.
