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.

A stand providing a horizontal support surface upon a sloping peak includes a central support having a top surface and bottom surface with opposing end portions, and adjustably extendible legs attached in spaced relation to the bottom surface of the central support and end supports. The central support and end supports are connected by a hinge having a range of motion limiting upward movement of the end supports to a horizontal position with the central support. Each of the central and end supports have spaced adjustably extendible legs attached to the bottom surface whereby the central support and the respective end supports can be aligned to provide a horizontal support surface on a sloping peak by adjustment of said extendible legs, regardless of the angles of declination from the peak.

A support part that supports a lower portion of a housing upon installation of an item on an installation surface, includes: a leg part including an outer leg portion, an inner leg portion, and a connecting portion, the outer leg portion being provided so as to come into contact with the installation surface and extending from a gap between the lower portion of the housing and the installation surface so as to protrude outward of an outer side surface of the housing, the inner leg portion being disposed above the outer leg portion and extending inward of the outer side surface of the housing, the connecting portion connecting the outer leg portion and the inner leg portion inside the outer side surface of the housing; a raising/lowering section that is provided at the lower portion of the housing and that supports the inner leg portion of the leg part so as to raise and lower the inner leg portion; and an operation section that is provided so that a portion of the operation section protrudes outward of an outer side surface of the connecting portion of the leg part and that operates a raising/lowering movement of the raising/lowering section.

A foot is connected to the bottom wall of a refrigeration cabinet. The foot is selectively movable relative to the bottom wall to adjust a vertical position of the foot with respect to the bottom wall. The bottom wall provides access to the foot from within the interior of the cabinet to allow a user to selectively move the foot to adjust the vertical position of the foot with respect to the bottom wall. The foot includes a stop configured to engage the bottom wall and thereby limit downward adjustment of the foot with respect to the bottom wall. A floor glide is connected to the bottom wall and initially protrudes downward from the bottom wall beyond the foot. The floor glide enables the cabinet to slide along a support surface to a deployment position so then the foot can be lowered to support the cabinet at the deployment position on the foot.

Medical device capable of properly measuring a center of gravity and capable of preventing overturning of a surgical operation table is provided without performing a significant design change. Medical device S, which includes a plurality of leg portions 20 that lift up a main body 2 from a floor surface and support the main body 2, includes load detection devices 55 that are provided between the main body 2 and the respective leg portions 20, and detect loads in a vertical direction received by the leg portions 20 from the floor surface.

A length-adjustable support device, comprising a first rod, a second rod, a bearing formed on the first rod for axially movably mounting the second rod on the first rod such that the second rod is movable in a translation motion relative to the first rod, and a movable fastening element for interlockingly axially fastening the movable second rod to the first rod by interlockingly fastening the fastening element to a mating interlocking-connection element, the mating interlocking-connection element for the interlocking connection to the fastening element. The aim of the invention is that the interlockingly locked length of the support device can be temporarily adjusted by changing the length of the support device.

A tool for controlling a controlled element of a height adjustable foot of a furnishing item and the like includes an engagement portion and a handle coupled to the engagement portion and having two arms shaped to embrace an outer edge of the height-adjustable foot and keep the engagement portion associated laterally with the adjustable foot. The engagement portion is arranged between the two arms and includes a toothing with a toothed section that extends over a rounded area of the surface between the two arms of the handle so as to engage at least one toothing on the controlled element of the adjustable foot. The teeth of the toothed section and the teeth of the at least one toothing of the controlled element are asymmetrical and angled, enveloping, curved teeth that follow the circular shape of the controlled element.
