An angle adjusting mechanism for a mouthpiece bearing portion of a telephone includes a hinge, a guiding member, a connecting member, a pushing member, a first wheel, and a second wheel. The hinge and the guiding member are fixed on opposite ends of the connecting member. The first wheel is fixed on the pushing member, and the second wheel is fixed on the mouthpiece bearing portion. The first wheel and the second wheel engage together and an end of the pushing member is connected to the guiding member. The hinge can rotate to slide the pushing member to rotate the first wheel. The second wheel turns to achieve a constant angle for the handset bed even if main body of telephone is propped up to an angle from a supporting surface.

A device for rotation of an object disposed on a horizontal surface, about a vertical axis, includes a base for an object, for rotation about a vertical central axis of the base, at low rotational speeds without achieving the gyroscope principle. The base has a lower surface, at least one downwardly projecting, central pivot lug for rotation of the base thereupon and at least one lateral lug spaced radially from the central lug and having a height less than the central pivot lug. The base is configured and dimensioned to rotate when caused to spin while being continuously supported both by the central pivot lug and at least a portion of the lateral lug as it spins. The base is tilted from the vertical axis at a minor angle, with the difference in heights of the central lug and lateral bearing lugs ranging from 0.025 to 1.25 mm.

This disclosure includes a support structure for an urn. The support structure includes a base with a surface. At least one attachment device extends from the surface of the base and a support surface is over the base and configured to support an urn.

In the specification and drawings an accessory cart is described and shown with a base, a housing element that is connected to the base and extends upward from the base, and a platform, which is connected to the housing element with the height of the platform being automatically adjustable.

A work bench may include a body for supporting a power tool, a first leg connected to a first end of the body, a second leg connected to a second end of the body, the first and second legs being pivotally connected, the first and second legs being movable between a first position where the body is in a lowered position and a second position where the body is in an elevated position, and a spring connecting the first and second legs. The spring provides at least a portion of the force necessary to move the first and second legs from the first position to the second position.

A joint apparatus with two degrees of freedom and a large range of singularity-free motion is provided including a first support, a second support, a pivot coupled between the first and second supports for allowing the second support to tilt in first and second directions relative to the first support, a first linkage coupled between the first and second supports for tilting the second support in the first direction relative to the first support, and a second linkage coupled between the first and second supports for tilting the second support in the second direction relative to the first support.

An adjustable multi-monitor support assembly is shown and described. The assembly includes at least one monitor arm, having a proximate end adapted to be attached to a work surface and a distal end and at least one pivot neck secured to the distal end of the monitor arm. Also provided is a hollow monitor support rail, having at least one shuttle aperture therein, being adapted to receive a plurality of monitor mounting brackets for supporting a plurality of monitors and at least one shuttle, having a top and a bottom end, and at least two glides wherein the glides are attached to the shuttle at the top and bottom ends. The shuttle is disposed within the hollow monitor support rail and aligned with the shuttle aperture and secured to the pivot neck.

A supporting apparatus for suspending two displays includes: a base seat unit including a fixing bracket and a pillar that is connected to the fixing bracket; two suspending arms, each having a first end portion that is movably connected to the pillar unit such that each of the suspending arms is movable along the pillar, and a second end portion that is opposite to the first end portion; two slide track units respectively connected to the second end portions of the suspending arms; and two display-supporting bracket units movably connected to the slide track units for mounting the displays. Through operation of the suspending arms, the sliding track units and the display-supporting bracket units, the displays can be moved to juxtapose and contact each other.

The present application discloses an articulating support arm with improved friction joint designs that are facilitated by the use of a non-annular bushing. In particular, the bushing is designed to interact with another portion of the friction joint to prevent rotational movement of the bushing, thereby minimizing the risk of joint malfunction. A bushing that interacts with a larger percentage of the width of a friction cylinder as compared to prior art devices, thereby improving the performance of the joint, is also disclosed. The improved friction joint according to the present invention may comprise an arm joint and/or tilter joint.

An arm is pivotally coupled to a support structure at one end and a patient care equipment support, such as a service head, is pivotally coupled to the arm at the other end. The arm has a first portion and a second portion coupled to the first portion for extension and retraction relative to the first portion. Brakes are provided to brake the extension and retraction of the portions of the arm, to brake the pivoting movement of the arm relative to the support structure, and to brake the pivoting movement of the patient care equipment support relative to the arm. Each of the brakes is releasable.
