A pad includes a support structure for supporting a mechanical device. The support structure includes a horizontal layer supported by vertical members. The pad also includes a leveling mechanism for leveling the pad. The leveling mechanism can include first, second, third and fourth leveling legs near a first, second, third and fourth corner, respectively of the pad. The leveling legs can be screwed into or out of the pad such that during installation of the mechanical device, an installer can level the pad by screwing in or out the first, second, third and fourth leveling legs until the pad is level.

An adjustable-height folding table adapted to be expanded to an unfolded configuration when being used and collapsed to a compact folded configuration when not being used for purposes of transport or storage. The folding table has a first plurality of legs extending between the table top and a corresponding plurality of footpads and a second plurality of legs that are pivotally coupled to respective ones of the footpads. The second plurality of legs are rotatable relative to the footpads between a first position extending downwardly from the footpads and away from the top of the table and a second position extending upwardly from the footpads and towards the table top. The second plurality of legs are rotated to lay on the ground in their first position, and the footpads lay on the ground when the second plurality of legs are rotated to their second position.

The telescoping adjustable leg comprises a tubular housing, a tubular toe, a cylindrical toe, a base and an externally threaded rod. The adjustable leg 10 is expandable from a fully retracted position to a fully extended position by rotation of the housing and cylindrical toe relative to the tubular toe.

A double-telescoping leg leveler is provided having an upper member, a central member, and a foot. The upper member is adapted to attach the leveler to an appliance. The central member includes an external thread pattern and is adapted to rotatably couple the foot to the upper member. The internal thread patterns of the foot and central member include a distal end that is shaped to enable a retraction of the leveler. The internal thread patterns of the foot and the central member are also configured to prevent the foot and central member from becoming disengaged from the leveler when extending the leveler.

An apparatus for adjusting a height adjustable leg for supporting a cabinet, appliance or structure is described. The apparatus includes a foot of a height adjustable leg and a tool comprising a driving member and a torque input for applying torque to the driving member. The foot includes a rotatable foot part with a driven member and a base part to support the rotatable foot part on a floor or supporting surface. The tool and the foot are complementarily adapted to releasably maintain engagement between the driving member and the driven member to allow the driving member to drive the driven member to rotate the rotatable foot part about a longitudinal axis of the leg for height adjustment of the leg.

A compact front regulation system for leveling feet of furniture pieces having a bottom and shoulders includes, in combination, at least one front foot and at least one rear foot, the at least one rear foot having a regulation mechanism in height which is accessible from the outside and which can be maneuvered using a regulation tool. The at least one front foot has a pass-through hole for the regulation tool of the rear foot, the pass-through hole acting as a support and a guide for the regulation tool.

A cabinet leg is provided including a body securable to an underside of a cabinet and a shaft engageable with the body such that rotation of the shaft moves the shaft toward or away from the body. A foot is secured to a lower end of the shaft including a first portion attached to the shaft and a second portion rotatable relative to the first portion. A plurality of openings are provided around the periphery of the foot for receiving a first end of a tool such that teeth on the tool engage with teeth on the first portion. Rotation of the tool causes rotation of the first portion relative to the second portion, thereby rotating the shaft and adjusting the height of the cabinet leg.

A joining and levelling system adapted for use in furniture and furnishing items having a bottom and a shoulder positionable with respect to a floor includes, in combination, a front foot unit and a rear foot unit, each having a connection group and a blocking group of a joining device for stably interconnecting the bottom and the shoulder. The connection group and the blocking group can be actuated from the front with respect to the furniture, the front and rear foot units being positioned beneath the bottom and facing the shoulder, and the bottom and the shoulder not resting on the floor. The front and rear foot units are disposed in an identical body for both the front and the rear foot units, and actuation rods of the joining device are arranged in the rear foot unit and positioned between the front and the rear foot units.

The present invention discloses a system for measuring the mechanical properties of sea floor sediments at full ocean depth. The system includes an overwater monitoring unit and an underwater measurement device, where the underwater measurement device includes an observation platform and a measuring mechanism; the observation platform includes a frame-type body and a floating body, a wing panel, a floating ball cabin, a leveling mechanism, a counterweight, and a release mechanism mounted on the frame-type body; the floating ball cabin seals a circuit system; the leveling mechanism adjusts the underwater measurement device horizontally on the sea floor when the frame-type body reaches the sea floor; the release mechanism discards the counterweight for recovery of the unit after the underwater measurement device completes the underwater operation; the measuring mechanism includes at least one of a cone penetration measuring mechanism, a spherical penetration measuring mechanism, and a vane shear measuring mechanism, or a sampling mechanism.

The present disclosure provides furniture pads having multiple segments that can coupled and decoupled to accommodate a desired size. The pads include a body of a protective material, with an inner segment and a first outer segment. The inner segment has at least one smaller cross-sectional dimension than the outer segment. Additional outer segments can have progressively increasing cross-sectional dimensions such that the all resulting segments are nested.
