Abstract: A face conveyor includes a continuous conveyor formed by a conveyor chain with entrainment plates that are connected to chain links and which, when conveying, circulates in an outward run and a return run, each of which are guided in trough portions by trough elements, which are arranged in a row. Guides provided on each trough element include a first guide on a working face side and a second guide at a spacing from a goaf side. The first guide on the working face side is secured on the trough element between the outward run and the return run. The outward run and the return run extend in a laterally offset manner with respect to each other, and the trough portion guiding the entrainment plates in the outward run is open on the working face side.

Abstract: A cart that multiply positions at least one high pressure gas tank, and stores equipment at least associated therewith. The cart includes a frame and storage cabinets. The frame multiply positions the at least one high pressure gas tank. The storage cabinets are affixed to the frame, and store the equipment at least associated with the at least one high pressure gas tank.

Abstract: A mobile confectionary apparatus for dispensing beverages and/or frozen confections includes a vehicle configured for travel over public roads to a location such as a parking lot, street, festival or fair grounds, or the like. The vehicle includes an enclosure having an interior space in which one or more persons can prepare and dispense confections, or containers for confections or beverages. The enclosure includes one or more service windows or openings for dispensing the prepared confections or containers; and a self-serve liquid dispensing system on or in an outer surface of the enclosure, usable by recipients of the dispensed confections or containers, for selectably dispensing toppings on the confections, or liquids into the containers, separately from the dispensing and selling thereof. The dispensing system is closable or coverable by a person from within the interior space, to prevent access from the outside, and for cleaning, service and travel.

Abstract: A welding support system, for example, formed as a wagon or cart, includes at least one shelf having configurable support components for supporting different configurations of welding equipment, and legs interconnecting the shelve. The at least one shelf is angled in a manner that provides enhanced visibility of and/or access to welding equipment supported thereon.

Abstract: A mobile technology cabinet comprises a compartment having a work platform mounted for rotational motion between a substantially vertical storage position and a deployed position. A monitor support is operatively connected to the work platform such that movement of the work platform between the storage position and the deployed position causes the monitor support to rise from a storage position to a deployed position. The work platform may be rotated relative to the cabinet to simultaneously deploy the work surface and to raise the monitor. A base supports the cabinet for movement on wheels. A frame extends from the base and supports a cabinet such that the cabinet is movable between a raised position and a lowered position.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to portable workstations and portable tool and equipment containers, and more specifically to single-wheeled portable tool workstations for comfortably, efficiently, and precisely transporting and organizing a tradesman's occupational tools and equipment. A single-wheeled or in-line wheel set portable tool workstation is disclosed that allows for precise and controlled movement over rough and uneven terrain in order to avoid the need for multiple trips between a tradesman's truck or shop and the worksite.

Abstract: A portable workstation includes wheels, a tabletop, a generally planar member and a chassis joining the wheels, the tabletop and the planar member. While joined to the wheels and the tabletop by the chassis, the planar member is movable between a protracted position and a retracted position. A majority of the planar member extends above the tabletop in the protracted position, and a majority of the planar member does not extend above the tabletop in the retracted position.

Abstract: A combination storage cabinet and work bench comprises a rectangular parallelepiped sheet metal cabinet with multiple slidable drawers accessible from the front side of the cabinet, polymeric molded lateral side modules which serve as handles and which include storage shelves for power tools and accessories and a top cover for the cabinet which includes interchangeable multiple work surface elements.

Abstract: A storage shelf system for efficiently storing goods in the irregularly shaped area under a flight of stairs. The horizontal shelves include a narrow shelf on top and a deep shelf on the bottom, with any number of shelves with intermediate depths between, such that a line connecting the rearward ends of the shelves forms an angle that corresponds to the underside of the flight of stairs. The storage shelf system includes a handle and wheels for easily maneuvering the shelf system beneath and withdrawing it from under the flight of stairs, webbing for securing goods to the shelf system, fixed undershelves for storing long, thin objects, slidable undershelves for temporarily storing goods while retrieving other goods from the storage shelf system, a fire-proof safe for securely storing valuable or potentially dangerous goods, and advantageously shape shelf compartment inserts for efficiently utilizing substantially all available storage space.

Abstract: A composite workstation offers multiple compartments, which are created by joining structural panels in perpendicular, parallel, and opposing horizontal configurations. Compartments its may contain tools, and supplies that can rapidly be accessed for use or readily secured and protected, by a single user in a field or shop application. This workstation uses individual panels, joined at intersections to form a composite self-supporting structure. The structure is configured to offer its top surfaces as a worktable. Equipment that is stored inside the compartments are engaged into useful position by utilizing leverage, pulleys, and mechanical advantage. The configuration of the structure enables dangerous and unwieldy equipment to be easily and safely used with proper off-feed surfaces and stable support in any location to which it is transported. The focus of this workstation is towards woodworking. The compact scale of the structure enables conventional compact vehicles to make the workstation mobile.

Abstract: A portable utility stand for computer equipment and the like is disclosed which comprises a cabinet having a front, rear, and sides. A main compartment is disposed in a lower part of the cabinet and an auxiliary compartment is disposed in an upper part of the cabinet above the main compartment. A support tray assembly is carried in the auxiliary compartment which includes a slidable base. A utility tray for supporting a keyboard rotatably is carried by the slidable base so that the tray rotates on the base. The utility tray has a stored position wherein the tray and base are generally longitudinally aligned and are received longitudinally in the auxiliary compartment, and an operational position wherein the tray is withdrawn from the compartment and oriented at a desired angle relative to the base for keyboard operation.
