Abstract: A rigid, generally rectangular seat has front and rear leg assemblies pivotally connected thereto, so that the seat can be folded upwardly toward the rear leg assembly, and the front leg assembly can be folded beneath the seat. A pair of L-shaped arms is pivotally mounted on the rear leg assembly, one on each side, and the lower ends of the generally vertical portions of said arms are alignable with the front leg assembly when the chair is erect, and carry locking means thereon engageable with a locking means carried by the upper ends of the front legs. The L-shaped arms hold the chair in its erect position, but either can be released and swung aside to allow sideways movement of a person entering or leaving the seat.

Abstract: Wheel assembly for a container or suitcase comprising a wheel casing adapted to be secured in the container or suitcase and a wheel mounted in a rotatable wheel fork which is movably disposed in the wheel casing so that the wheel can be moved between a parking position in which only a small portion of the wheel projects beyond the wheel casing and a wheeling position outwardly of the casing, the wheel fork being rotatably mounted in a bearing block which is disposed in the wheel casing to be displaceable between an inner and an outer position in which latter position it can be pivoted in the plane of the wheel casing.

Abstract: A portable, self-contained tennis ball throwing apparatus is disclosed which includes a constantly rotating cam having gradually increasing radii of successive points around its periphery and an abrupt transition from a maximum radius to a minimum radius, a pivotally mounted throwing arm having one end biased into contact with the periphery of the cam and supporting a ball receiving cup at its other end, and a resilient member for biasing the throwing arm, such that the cam effectively cocks the throwing arm at a relatively slow rate and releases the throwing arm to move under the influence of the resilient member to impart a throwing force to a tennis ball. The housing of the apparatus is mounted on a carriage which is movable with respect to the housing to change the pitch angle thereof, and, therefore, the angle of trajectory of a thrown ball. The ball receiving cup is also adjustable to change the angle of trajectory of the thrown ball.

Abstract: Cutting height adjustment device for lawn mower blades: adjustment is obtained by adjusting the height of the mower wheel axle with respect to the mower chassis; the wheel axle is carried on a crank arm which pivots about a shaft fixedly positioned with respect to the chassis; the shaft is pivotable to a plurality of angular positions; a detent disc is secured to the shaft; a latch, non-shiftable with respect to the chassis, is operable to selectively engage in and disengage from the detents, thereby to position the blades at various heights; a pointer associated with and movable with the shaft indicates blade height on a scale on the chassis.

Abstract: A walker for use with a wheel chair is disclosed. The walker has a generally U-shaped frame with a column swingably attached to the intermediate part of the U-shaped frame. A caster wheel is attached to the distal end of the column and a tube is swingably attached to the distal ends of the U-shaped frame. A pair of brackets are provided by attaching the front side of the wheel chair to the brackets. Each of the brackets has a telescoping pin. Clamps are provided on the tubular brackets which can be attached to the wheel chair and which receive the telescoping pins attached to the U-shaped frame.
