A floor brake assembly for an article of furniture includes a base adapted to be affixed to an article of furniture, a plunger having a brake pad at a plunger first end and movable between a first position where the brake pad engages a floor and a second position where the brake pad is free of the floor, a pivot arm rotatably mounted to the base, a first activation arm pivotally mounted to the base, and a second activation arm pivotally mounted to the base. The pivot arm is rotated between a braking position and an unbraking position to cause the plunger to move between the first and second positions by way of the first and second activation arms.

The invention provides a medical intravenous support apparatus that facilitates patient mobility while reducing the likelihood of an accidental fall. The design incorporates improved features for bag support, tube management, cord management, patient steadiness, user-friendly braking, and electric power supply.

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.

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 leveling foot assembly includes a foot and a rod secured to the foot. The rod includes a first threaded portion, a second threaded portion, and a third threadless portion positioned between the first threaded portion and the second threaded portion. The leveling foot assembly further includes a leveling nut configured to engage the first threaded portion of the rod when the foot is in a raised position and configured to engage the second threaded portion of the nut when the foot is in a lowered position.

An apparatus and method utilize a conventional portable shop vacuum to facilitate the collection of dust generated by a machine tool in a workshop. Selective translation of the machine tool along a workshop floor among chosen locations is enabled by virtue of casters provided by the shop vacuum. A selectively operated actuating mechanism renders the machine tool stationary at any one particular chosen location along the workshop floor.
