Wheelchair Lift and Methods of Making and Using the Same
A removably mounted wheelchair lift device that can elevate the wheelchair and its user. The lift device has a novel lifting mechanism which has an upper plate, a lower plate, a knee plate, an upper interior link, an upper exterior link, a lower interior link, a lower exterior link and a transfer link. The various parts of the lifting mechanism are pivotally attached to one another in a manner which provides a linear and precise extension and retraction. Extension and retraction of the lifting mechanism is achieved by a rotary electric motor and gear drive which introduce a torque between adjacent parts of the lifting mechanism. The lifting mechanism maintains a parallel relationship between its top and bottom plates throughout its range of motion. The lift device may also be used in other applications where the level or angle of the equipment or surfaces being supported must remain constant regardless of height. Other applications may include, but are not limited to, supporting hospital beds, medical operation tables, manufacturing work stations, office work stations, pallet stand, and other warehouse and storage applications.
Locking Articulating Mounting Systems and Methods
Systems and methods may provide a locking articulating mount. Small pieces of hardware, such as back pressure screws, may be used to lock a display in place. They can be adjusted to cause outward forces against the display away from the backing. A mount also may be adjustable for assembly, but when closed, may provide a significant reduction in play or movement. A latch may form part of the mount to hold the display against the inside edge that can only be released through a pull cable.
DEVICE FOR ROTATING A MONITOR AROUND AN INSTRUMENT
A mechanism for rotating a monitor around an instrument, using a cam having a lobe directed towards a corner or projection of the instrument, the cam being fixed on the instrument in a plane parallel to the rotation of the monitor. The monitor is mounted on the outer section of an extendible arm assembly, the inner section being attached to the instrument by means of a rotary bearing, the outer section of the extendible assembly arm being slidingly attached to the inner section using a spring mechanism which applies a tensional force to the outer section in the direction towards the rotary bearing. As the extendible arm assembly is rotated, a cam follower attached to the outer section of the extendible arm assembly, traces the outer profile of the cam, thereby causing the outer section of the extendible arm also to trace the outer profile of the cam.
Dryer stand
A dryer stand for mounting a dryer for discharging air, including a stem, a base, a receptacle on which the dryer is mounted, a moving apparatus including a rotation motor and connected to the receptacle, and a controller. The controller enables the position of the receptacle to be changed or returned by controlling the forward and backward rotation of the rotation motor so that the receptacle is moved in a given direction when a position change command for the receptacle is received and the receptacle returns to its original position when a position return command for the receptacle is received.
ADJUSTABLE DISPLAY MOUNTING SYSTEM
A mounting system capable of mounting objects to support structures is disclosed. The mounting system includes a wall mount including a display bracket configured to hold the object, a fixed support bracket couplable to a vertical support structure, and a linkage assembly. The linkage assembly has a low-profile stowed configuration in which the object is held in a raised position close to the support structure. The linkage assembly moves to another configuration to move the object. The object can be held in a lowered position. A biasing mechanism can facilitate convenient movement of the object.
DISPLAY MOUNTING SYSTEM WITH ADJUSTABLE WEIGHT COUNTERBALANCE
A mounting system capable of mounting objects to support structures is disclosed. The mounting system includes a wall mount including a display bracket configured to hold the object, a fixed support bracket couplable to a vertical support structure, and a linkage assembly. The linkage assembly has a low-profile stowed configuration in which the object is held in a raised position close to the support structure. The linkage assembly moves to another configuration to move the object. The object can be held in a lowered position. A pinion adjustment mechanism can be used to control a biasing mechanism for facilitate convenient movement of the object.
Rotation bracket
A rotation bracket includes an L-shaped connecting rod, a rotation mechanism, and a stand base. The L-shaped connecting rod includes a vertical rod and a horizontal rod. The vertical rod is configured to connect to a communications device. The horizontal rod is fastened to the rotation mechanism, and the horizontal rod is a rotatable rod. The rotation mechanism is fastened to a top of the stand base, and the rotation mechanism is configured to drive the L-shaped connecting rod to rotate in a horizontal plane. The stand base is configured to fixedly connect to an inner surface of a wall or to a ground.
Display fixing apparatus
A display fixing apparatus, which enables a worker to fix a display to a wall at a position in front of the display, is provided.
Display stand that adjusts to the size of the item being displayed
A display stand with an adjustable rear support that is movable along a base by way of a channel is provided. The rear support receives and sandwiches objects, each of different thicknesses, between and against a support lip. The rear support is orientated at an obtuse angle relative to the base. The channel is tapered, facilitating a tapered slide nut to move there along in concert with the rear support. A threaded fastener interconnects the rear support and the slide nut by way of the channel. The slide nut provides female threading engaging the threading of the threaded fastener. The rear support provides a slot that seats on a protrusion of the slide nut to provide anti-rotation functionality.
Multiple Device Content Management
The description relates to cooperatively controlling devices based upon their location and pose. One example can receive first sensor data associated with a first device and second sensor data associated with a second device. This example can analyze the first sensor data and the second sensor data to determine relative locations and poses of the first device relative to the second device and can supply the locations and poses to enable content to be collectively presented across the devices based upon the relative locations and poses.
