The weight supporting apparatus may be used to support the weight of an automobile or other object. The horizontal member may be placed on a lifting device, which may be lifted to contact an object. Legs and/or the vertical member may be added to the horizontal member to support the weight without a lifting force, which may be temporarily fixed in place with one or more pin. The horizontal member may include an elongated portion and a cuff. Various aspects of the apparatus may be adjusted to support a desired object at a desired height and/or footprint to provide sufficient access under the object. The leg may be a single curved piece or multiple pieces. | 07-10-2014 |
20140299725 | Height-Adjustable Pedestal - The invention relates to a height-adjustable pedestal comprising a height adjustable pedestal platform, a spring device that provides a spring force according to a corresponding spring characteristic, and a lever mechanism that is interconnected between the spring device and the pedestal platform in such a way that the spring force is transferred by the lever mechanism to the pedestal platform in the form of a lifting force that counteracts the weight force of the pedestal platform, in order to facilitate the height-adjustment of the pedestal platform, wherein the lever mechanism is configured such that it at least partially compensates for a variation of the spring force that occurs according to the spring characteristics. | 10-09-2014 |
20140319294 | HEAVY LOAD SUPPORT MECHANISM AND HEAVY LOAD LOADING APPARATUS USING THE MECHANISM - In supporting a heavy load with a spring member disposed between a fixed frame and a support frame, provided are a follower member that transfers a spring force of the spring member to the support frame, first and second cam surfaces that regulate motion of the follower member, and a biasing device for bringing the follower member into press-contact with the cam surfaces, the first cam surface generates a friction force to reduce an effect of the heavy load, the second cam surface generates a friction force to reduce an effect of the spring force, and the follower member is made movable in an expansion/contraction direction of the spring, and also in a direction crossing the expansion/contraction direction to control engagement of the follower member and the cam surfaces. | 10-30-2014 |

20160143455 | DISPLAY STAND - An adjustable display stand having an upwardly extending first extension arm attached to a base support. The first extension arm is formed to extend over at least a portion of the base support and is connected to a second extension arm. The second extension arm is formed to extend in a vertical direction above the base support and terminates in a support for an article to be displayed by the display stand. | 05-26-2016 |
20160164163 | Antenna Lifting Apparatus and Related Techniques - A method of raising an antenna includes decoupling an antenna pedestal from an antenna pedestal mounting structure. The method additionally includes separating the antenna pedestal from the antenna pedestal mounting structure. The method further includes inserting one or more antenna lifting fixtures between a first surface of the antenna pedestal and a first surface of the antenna pedestal mounting structure. The method also includes operating the one or more antenna lifting fixtures to move the first surface of the antenna pedestal away from the first surface of the antenna pedestal mounting structure. A corresponding system and antenna lifting fixture are also provided. | 06-09-2016 |
