Abstract: Disclosed is a carrier device for the simple and secure transportation of objects, in particular flower containers, in a vehicle. As disclosed, the carrier device comprises a plurality of panels which when folded in a specific manner, form a device for securing an object. In addition, the device comprises notches for securing itself using a conventional seatbelt of a vehicle. Consequently, the device prevents the object from moving by holding the top of the object and surrounding the sides of the object. The device itself is then held stationary by placing a conventional seatbelt around the device, positioning the seatbelt in notches located in pre-determined location on the device. The design of the carrier device allows for the object to be some distance from the back of the seat and, as a result, prevent damage to the object.

Abstract: The invention herein pertains in certain embodiments to furniture construction utilizing frames which are attached to upper sections of chairs, loveseats, sofas and the like. The frames are collapsible for shipping and storage and can be quickly expanded through the use of hinged joints. The preferred form of the invention utilizes dual pivoting hinges whereas an alternative embodiment utilizes multiple single pivoting hinges and ring members for constructing furniture frames. In another embodiment, case goods may employ a collapsible frame as described herein.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a placemat device, which is intended for use by children, whereby the placement device has a sheet member and a scoop, with the scoop designed to receive and hold the sheet member when put in a storage position. Additionally, the placemat can include indicia, which is intended for children.

Abstract: A pedestal base which is a hollow tube having a first periphery and a second periphery. At least one of the first and second peripheries includes at least two pairs of open channels. Each pair of open channels is sized and spaced around the periphery so that a support member of constant cross-section can be slidably fitted into the pair of channels. The pairs of channels are spaced around the periphery so that, when a straight support member is fitted into each pair of channels, all the support members are parallel to each other and form a platform for supporting objects. The pedestals are particularly useful in the catering industry for supporting food and beverage containers, tableware, flower vases and sculptures.

Abstract: The invention provides a detachable base support including a support, a base plate, and a latch. The support includes a protrusion which has a latch hole. The base plate has a receiving space for accommodating the protrusion. The latch is movably connected to the base plate. When the protrusion is inserted into the receiving space, the latch moves to a first position allowing a portion of the latch to pass through the latch hole for fixing the support onto the base plate.

Abstract: A roller board display device includes a base having two lugs on a side thereof and two stubs extend from bottom of said base so that the display devices can be connected in series by inserting the stubs in the holes of lugs. A rest board is connected to said top surface of said base and a recess is defined in said rest board. One of the roller frame is engaged with the notch in the rest board and an end of the roller board is engaged with two recesses defined in a top surface of the base. A side of the roller board may also be engaged with the two recesses and the other side of the roller board is rested on the rest board.

Abstract: This invention comprises a support base designed to elevate an appliance such as a washer, dryer, or refrigerator in order to provide more convenient access. The invention also optionally provides castors on the bottom of the support base so that the appliance may be easily moved, if the user desires such mobility.

Abstract: A pedestal support for an elevated paver deck assembly including a cylindrical tower, a cap slidably mountable on the upper end of the tower for supporting a plurality of pavers, and a base slidably mountable on the lower end of the tower. Interlocking spacers for adjusting the height of the pedestal support and the relative heights of the pavers are also provided. A method for constructing an elevated paver deck assembly including the pedestal supports is also disclosed.

Abstract: A CPU supporting assembly comprising a pair of interrelated supporting structures having upwardly facing supporting surfaces configured and positioned to support a CPU in downwardly engaged relation thereon. Two spaced pairs of generally oppositely facing confining surfaces facing toward one another are configured and positioned to confine a CPU therebetween. The supporting structures are constructed and arranged to move through a range of adjustable movements wherein a horizontal distance between the pairs of confining surfaces is adjustable to allow CPU's of various sizes to be supported by the assembly. The supporting structures further include a plurality of downwardly facing surfaces configured to position the supporting structures on a horizontally extending surface such as a floor.

Abstract: A collapsible mount for mounting an electronic device to a circuit board includes a base adapted to be fixed to the circuit board and two support arms each having a lower end pivotably connected to the base and spaced from each other so as to be rotatable with respect to the base between a stowed position and an expanded position wherein the two support arms are substantially opposite to each other to define a space therebetween adapted to accommodate the electronic device therein.

Abstract: The present invention is a folding and telescopic structure that consists of two parallelograms (1) (2), which can be flattened in opposite directions, located on the same plane and joined articulately by two springs (17) from its front (3) and back (4) jambs. These jambs (3) (4), which are “U” shaped and hollow, allow the end (5) and intermediate (6) crossbars to lodge inside to totally occupy the space available inside the hollow jambs. The end crossbar (5) has a groove (8) in which to slide a first shaft (9) of the back jamb (4) at the same time that a it can turn counter-clockwise upon a second shaft (10) of the front jamb (3) . The intermediate crossbar (6) 15 moves in a similar way, but the hinge (13) that receives the second shaft (12) is not fixed on the intermediate crossbar (6), but can be slid across it. FIG. 1.
