A ride-on zero-turn work machine has two drive control levers longitudinally pivotable for locomotive and steering control, and laterally tiltable inboard and outboard for parking brake control. Two brake control linkages are each connected between one of the levers and one of the parking brakes. Each linkage features a rotatable bell crank, a brake connection link running from the bell crank to the parking brake, and a lever connection link having one end coupled to the bell crank, and another coupled to drive control lever through a ball joint that, in an inboard position of the lever, and throughout a full longitudinal pivot range thereof, lies on the lever's pivot axis, with no motive effect on the bell crank or parking brake. Laterally outward tilting of the lever moves the ball joint off axis, in a manner driving rotation of the bell crank, and thereby actuating the parking brake.

A height adjustable support comprising a three-sided support channel, a cylindrical support post positioned within the support channel and at least one saddle brace positioned within the support channel and to partially surround the cylindrical support post. In the present invention, the downward force resulting from the weight of the equipment results in static friction between the saddle brace and the cylindrical support post that is sufficient to hold the equipment surface at a desired height. The height adjustable support may be implemented into hygienically designed food processing equipment to eliminate undesirable bacteria harboring surfaces and to improve height adjustability of the equipment.

The present disclosure relates to caster wheels having a skirt, specifically a skirt which fits over one side of the wheel only, and thus does not interfere with the actuation of a caster wheel locking mechanism.

Art operating shall rises and fails by abutting against a cam surface of a cam rotatably built into the upper part of a stem. A swivel-preventing plate part is fixed to the lower end of the operating shaft. An engagement member is fixed to a support yoke and regulates the swiveling by engaging with the swivel-preventing plate part. A brake shoe part is fixed to the lower part of the swivel-preventing plate pail and brakes by abutting against a treat surface of a wheel when the operating shaft falls. A link cam causes a link cam to pivot and causes a brake plate to rise and fall by connected to the brake shoe part. A protruding part for braking, by displacement of the brake plate, is capable of engaging with and disengaging from an annular engagement receiving part formed in the inner periphery of the wheel.

A carrier for carrying medication to be delivered intravenously to a patient includes a carrying frame, a support base, and a container holder for holding a container of medication attached to the carrying frame. The support base and carrying frame are sized, shaped, and mutually positioned such that the carrying frame extends from the support base so as to be supported above the floor from the support base. The carrying frame has at least one location configured for attaching the medication delivery device and at least one ledge, positioned adjacent to the at least one location for resting the medication delivery device, the ledge is positioned between the container holder and the support base, while attaching the medication delivery device to the carrying frame.

A surgical patient support includes a foundation frame, a support top, and a brake system. The foundation frame includes a first column and a second column. The support top is coupled to the first column and the second column for rotation about a top axis extending along the length of the support top.

A height adjustable support comprising a threaded support channel a cylindrical support post, positioned within the support channel and at least one saddle brace positioned within the support channel and to partially surround the cylindrical support post. In the present invention, the downward force resulting from the weight of the equipment results in static friction between the saddle brace and the cylindrical support post that is sufficient to hold the equipment surface at a desired height. The height adjustable support may be implemented into hygienically designed food processing equipment to eliminate undesirable bacteria harboring surfaces and to improve height adjustability of the equipment.

An apparatus comprises an object (1) and a plurality of roller units (5A-5D) on said object, each roller unit comprising at least one roller element (13) and being switchable between a mobile mode in which the apparatus is moveable across a surface on which said apparatus is positioned in use by rolling on said roller elements, and an immobile mode in which movement of the apparatus across a said surface is inhibited. The roller units (5A-5D) are configured such that manual depression of the object towards a said surface causes switching of at least one roller unit between the mobile and immobile modes.
