This invention relates to a drop leaf table angular adjustment mechanism. The leaf and tabletop are pivotally connected with a hinge, in which a positioning ratchet plate with multiple angular positioning ratchet teeth to the underside of the tabletop hinge. On the rear of the leaf hinge set, there consists of a positioning plate with a curvature slot. The positioning ratchet plate and positioning plate are pivotally connected with a pivot bolt to form a mechanism for the providing the leaf angular lean adjustment. On the backside of the positioning plate there is a ladle-shape pawl on the downside of the positioning ratchet plate, wherein the pawl engages with any of the ratchet teeth of the positioning ratchet plate to obtain a relative stop position between the tabletop and leaf. The operation which releases the pawl from engagement can adjust the leaf to an arbitrarily lean angle adjustment.

Pool table

Номер: US20200023263A1
Принадлежит: Home Leisure Direct Ltd

A pool table has a removable dining surface and a gravity-based ball-return system located transversely between end legs of the pool table. Balls that have been pocketed during a game on the table's playing bed are commonly collected in one of inclined two gullies that connect together multiple pockets. The gullies are peripheral to the table and directly beneath pockets that are, preferably, either side of a central longitudinal axis of the table. The ball return system includes a stacked arrangement of runners that receive a pocketed ball from a cascading drop at the end of each gully. Once into the stack, a ball separation device identifies and selectively separates a cue ball from object balls, with the cue ball directed downwards towards a free-return box while object balls are directed along a different downward path. Object balls are then retained behind a ball retainer and release mechanism which, when in a release position, causes delivery of all object balls to a ball picking slot at an end of the pool table common with the free-return box. Pool table depth is therefore minimized while space under the table's bed is maximized to accommodate seating.

The processor determines that the electrical adjustable apparatus has collision when receiving a controlling signal used to control the electrical adjustable apparatus and the tilted angle is not less than the threshold angle, and sends a stopping signal to the electrical adjustable apparatus via the signal transmitter for making the electrical adjustable apparatus stop raising/lowering when determining that the electrical adjustable apparatus has collision. This present disclosed example can effectively prevent article placing on the carrying structure from falling and prevent the electrical adjustable apparatus or the obstacle from being damaged by continual stretching/shortening after collision.

Aircraft angled conference table configuration

Номер: US20170057639A1
Принадлежит: Bombardier Inc

An aircraft table configuration includes a first table section and a second table section. The first and second table sections are hingedly connected along a first hinge line so that the second table section is configurable between a deployed, opened position and a folded, closed position. The first table section presents a first angled side and the second table section table presents a second angled side. The first angled side defines a first angle with respect to the first hinge line, and the second angled side defines a second angle with respect to the first hinge line. The first angled side and the second angled side are opposite to one another on either side of the first hinge line, wherein the first and second angled sides are adapted to define an aisle width in the aircraft. The aisle width does not change between the open position and the closed position.
