Seating system
A seating system according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a plurality of seating risers configured to telescope relative to one another. Further, at least one of the plurality of seating risers is a powered seating riser configured to deploy and retract the plurality of seating risers. The powered seating riser includes a belt drive system. Additionally, the plurality of seating risers are adjustable between a lowered position and a raised position.
Telescopic structural systems and construction method
A telescoping barrier assembly provides interlocking modules coupled together so as to slide vertically with respect to the other. The modules telescopically extend to a deployed position to form a barrier that withstands inertial and the external forces, and then retracts to a collapsed position. The modules include a base module and a plurality of deployable modules that are arranged in a nested configuration, such that each module slides in and out of an adjacent module. The base module has a mounting portion that may be subterranean. A lifting mechanism applies an axial force to the deployable modules to enable displacement between the operational and collapsed position. Spring biased lateral support members help the deployable modules remain in the extended position and a pulley system helps displace the modules to the collapsed position. An inner and outer seal inhibit liquid leakage between the module and between multiple adjacent assemblies.

Kitchen cabinet installation device
A kitchen cabinet installation device to install upper wall cabinets and suspended cabinets is provided. The kitchen cabinet installation device of the present invention is a lightweight box for easy transportation and to provide an easy and quick installation procedure with precision and make the installation procedure a one man job. The kitchen cabinet installation device includes a box having a base and a cap, and a double scissor jack installed into the box. The box features rails with rollers to provide a smooth movement of the jack. The jack includes a lead screw. By cabinet installation the object is placed on the cap and is lifted by turning the knob in lead screw and held during the installation in a secure position.
Product Delivery, Transport, and Storage Apparatuses
The invention provides an autonomous delivery and storage system comprising a mobile robot, referred to as a porch bot, and a support vehicle, the mother bot. The porch bot features a modular shelved storage shell for transporting various products, including temperature-sensitive goods, with integrated systems for precise temperature control. It utilizes omni-wheels for versatile mobility, advanced navigation systems for real-time route optimization, and a power-sharing capability for energy efficiency. The mother bot assists with the loading, unloading, and transport of porch bots, featuring an adjustable height lift and additional temperature support systems. The system's integrated navigation, communication, and energy management technologies allow for seamless operation in diverse environments, making it suitable for both residential and commercial deliveries. This invention addresses the challenges of modern logistics by improving delivery efficiency, maintaining product integrity, and reducing operational costs through automation and advanced environmental control.
Apparatus and Devices for Moving, Transporting, and Storing Porch Bots
The present invention provides an automated product transport and storage system designed to enhance efficiency, precision, and safety in logistics and delivery operations. The system includes automated bots, such as porch bots, railed fork bots, and railed crane bots, which perform tasks like loading, unloading, and positioning products within transport vehicles. These bots reduce the reliance on manual labor, mitigate the risk of injuries, and improve productivity by operating autonomously or semi-autonomously in confined or complex environments, such as urban and suburban delivery routes. The system is equipped with advanced control systems, GPS tracking, and obstacle detection, enabling precise navigation and real-time responsiveness. Versatile and adaptable, the system can be used across various industries, from food distribution to industrial supply chains, while reducing infrastructure requirements and contributing to energy efficiency. This invention represents a significant advancement in automated logistics and product handling.
Portable Knockdown Boat Hoist
a portable knockdown boat hoist for lifting boat from boat trailer or other resting location. Comprising of two A-frame structures positioned over the bow and stern of the boat. Each A-frame unit consists of two splayed legs on each side of the boat connected by a crossmember running over the top of the boat. At each side of the boat attached to one leg is a winch with a block and pulley connected by cable to the winch. Cranking up on the winch pulls up a lifting strap running underneath the hull of the boat, which in turn lifts the boat. The A-frame structures are comprised of tube sections that insert one end into the next section. A-frame units can be disassembled for transporting to boat location for lifting.
Vehicle lift and process for lifting vehicles
A vehicle lift comprising a movement system configured to be installed in a pit in the ground, a platform engaged with the movement system and movable entering to and exiting from the pit, at least one arm carried by the platform and configured for contacting a vehicle to be lifted. The arm is movable between an extended position and a retracted position. The lift comprises a stop movable relative to the platform between a grip position where it engages the arm and a release position where it disengages the arm. The lift comprises an actuator carried by the platform and active on the stop to move said stop between the grip position and the release position.
Self-adjusting supporting head
A self-adjusting supporting head comprises a vehicle body lifting column (10) and a load-bearing detection device arranged on the vehicle body lifting column (10). The load-bearing detection device comprises a spring supporting plate (5), a spring (6), a limiting switch tip (8), a load limiting switch (9) and a floating load-bearing adjusting device. The floating load-bearing adjusting device comprises a floating load-bearing block (1), a floating load-bearing block mounting base (2) and a floating connector. The floating load-bearing block is in spherical fit with the floating load-bearing block mounting base.
MOTOR LIFTING DEVICES AND METHODS FOR OPERATING THE SAME
A motor lifting device may include a base member, a vertical guide column coupled and extending upward from the base member in a vertical direction, a carriage coupled to the vertical guide column. The carriage may including a carriage base engaged with and movable along the vertical guide column, and a carriage plate defining one or more slots configured to receive a motor shaft. The motor lifting device may further include one or more transverse actuators structurally configured to move the carriage plate in a direction transverse to the vertical direction with respect to the vertical guide column.
