A device structured and arranged a more reliable means of transporting tall wedding cakes, tiered cakes, large floral arrangements or ice sculptures from their place of creation to their destination includes a height-adjustable platform, a sliding tray, and poles for supporting the platform.

A camera crane mobile base for carrying a camera crane includes a first powered remotely controllable steering system having first and second axle assemblies at a first end of a chassis. A second steering system including third and fourth axle assemblies is provided at a second end of the chassis. A first electrically powered remotely controllable propulsion system includes an electric propulsion motor connected to first and second axles in the first and second axle assemblies. A telescoping center post is pivotally attached to the chassis. An on-board hydraulic system may power the first steering system and the telescoping center post.

The invention provides a stand using two legs which are selectively elongated. Ideally, each leg has two spaced apart wheels allowing the stand to be readily moved. The legs are connected by a scissor member which allows the assembly to be collapsed for storage and easy movement. A receiver for a paper roll is attachable to the top of both legs. A roller, from which paper from the paper roll extends. The legs are manually extended either by hand or in concert using a winch assembly connected to both legs.

A system for coupling of units on a substantially rectangular load carrier with four columns arranged in its corners. The system comprises: a unit in the form of a column with a rectangular profile with four side faces; a unit in the form of an anchoring piece (3) with a substantially rectangular cross section with four side faces. The anchoring piece (3) is to be arranged on a corner of the load carrier. The anchoring piece (3) and the column (2) are mutually adapted, so that the column (2) and the anchoring piece (3) can be inserted in a mutually sliding engagement along their longitudinal axes. The anchoring piece (3) and the column comprise side faces with locking parts in the form of at least one cam (4, 5) or an opening (7, 8) complementary thereto, executed in a side face on the column (2) and a side face on the anchoring piece (3), respectively, which opening (7, 8) and cam (4, 5) have mutually adapted locations, so that the opening (7, 8) and cam (4, 5) engage, when the column (2) and the anchoring piece (3) are inserted into each other.

Disclosed is an up-down worktable including a base frame, a lifting member installed on the base frame to be vertically slidable, a work support having one side surface provided with a mounting surface to allow an object to be transferred to be mounted thereon and having an end pivotably installed on the lifting member, a lift support portion installed on the base frame to move the lifting member upward while elastically supporting the lifting member to allow the lifting member to move downward according to a load of the object mounted on the mounting surface, and an angle restriction portion configured to restrict a pivoting angle of the work support so that the mounting surface is set in a direction of intersecting with a sliding direction of the lifting member to mount the object on the mounting surface or the work support stands straight with respect to the base frame.

An assistive robot includes a manipulator, a base coupled to the manipulator, the base defining a front end and a rear end positioned opposite the front end, the base including a chassis body, a front conveyor assembly positioned at the front end of the base, the front conveyor assembly including a front conveyor defining a conveyor pathway that extends at least partially within the chassis body and a front toe extending outward from the front conveyor, and a rear conveyor assembly positioned at the rear end of the base, the rear conveyor assembly including a rear conveyor defining a conveyor pathway that extends at least partially within the chassis body and a rear toe extending outward from the rear conveyor.

Disclosed are mobile battery powered workstations, methods of operating these workstations to increase warehouse and retail efficiency (through improved order fulfillment, as a mobile shipping & receiving station, mobile inventory management, and/or as mobile powered quality analysis stations), and methods of calculating remaining battery runtime for these workstations. A mobile battery powered workstation may comprise a wheeled base having a modular battery power bay, an upper workstation having a monitor, a computer, a printer, and at least one adjustable height column coupling the wheeled base to the upper workstation. The workstation may also include a glass overlay display positioned on a top surface of the upper workstation area and configured to provide order fulfillment employees with haptic feedback on remaining battery runtime, calculated via an algorithm for increased accuracy. These workstations may be used in warehouses and retail operations for order picking and fulfillment, shipping and receiving tasks, etc.

A powered lift hand truck with a corresponding method of operation and control. The apparatus includes a powered lift hand truck configured to lift a load from a lowered to a raised position (and vice versa). The system uses the rotational speed to measure linear speed and enforce a consistent speed of the load. The system is programmed to lift/lower loads at the same speed, regardless of load overall weight. If, for example, the load is heavy, the system determines that the speed is below a predetermined threshold and increases the power so as to increase speed.

A stabilization device for stabilizing an attachment component relative to movements of a basic component which occur outside a permitted plane of movement. The attachment component and the basic component are connected via a stabilization arrangement that includes: a first compensation arrangement for compensating rotational movements of the basic component with respect to an intermediate component, about rotational axes lying in the plane of movement, including a first compensation device which can be actuated actively, a second compensation arrangement for compensating residual linear movements of the intermediate component in a compensation direction, perpendicular to the plane of movement, in relation to the attachment component, having a second compensation device which can be actuated actively, a plurality of inertial sensors assigned to the first and/or second compensation arrangement, and a control device for actuating the compensation devices for movement compensation as a function of sensor data of the inertial sensors.

An appliance dolly includes a frame comprising a top end, a bottom end, a front end, and a back end. A platform is attached to the front end of the frame at the bottom end of the frame. A plate that is configured to engage with an appliance package between a box of the appliance package and a lid of the appliance package is disposed on the frame above the platform. The plate is movable between an engaged position between the box and the lid and a disengaged position where the plate is spaced apart from the box and the lid.
