A transportable, easily adjustable, readily assembled and collapsible podium for use in lectures. The podium comprises a solid front panel, against which the lecture material rests; a lip projecting outwardly from the substantial bottom of the front panel, upon which the lecture material sits; and a base, which may rest on a supporting surface. The podium further comprises a pivoting arm hingedly attached to the backside of the front panel providing stable, angularly adjustable prop means for the lecture material to be viewed at the angle most comfortable for the user. Once in its assembled form, the podium will not spontaneously collapse or disassemble when handled or if grabbed at the front panel because of the podium's interlocking means between the pivoting arm and base. The pivoting arm effortlessly slips into one of several openings in the base and interlocks with the rim of the opening, locking it into place. |

A support stand for reading material having a transparent plate (10) supported substantially above eye level (82) of a seated or standing reader. The plate is tilted toward the reader such that its front surface is approximately perpendicular to the reader's line of vision. Disposed near the lower edge of the plate on the side opposite the reader is a protruding member (12) which acts as a ledge for the reading material to rest against. Other configurations of this stand may include one or two secondary supporting plates (44 and 58), positioned at or below eye level, these plates being tilted such that their surfaces are also approximately perpendicular to the reader's line of vision and positioned at approximately the same distance from the reader's head. |

PETERSEN WARREN D |
A nestable library carrel in which two side walls are disposed at an angle with respect to each other and are supported by three elongated legs, one of the legs being positioned at the juncture between the side walls and the other legs supporting the side walls at points spaced from the one leg. The carrel is constructed to be nested in a square cluster wherein a central leg supports the junctures of all carrels and other legs are provided, each of which supports adjacent side walls of adjacent carrels. The carrel also is constructed to be arranged in a row configuration of two series of carrels oppositely facing and offset to provide adjacent side walls of oppositely facing carrels in abutting relationship. In row configuration the number of legs required to support the carrels is two more than the number of carrels in the row.

A carrying case for a portable PA system is disclosed having a panel hinged at the top and two hinged support members, one hinged near the free end of the panel and the other pivoted near the bottom of the case such that one member extends downwardly from the panel to support it near its free end and the other member extends outwardly from the case near the bottom to secure the foot end of the one member in a fixed position relative to the case. To close the case, the hinge between the two support members is swung through an arc up and into the case. As the panel is closed the end of the other member pivoted in the case is permitted to rise in the case by slots on the sides of the case for the pivots.

The disclosure hereof is related to body construction and particularly to such bodies as are used in trucks and provide for storage space and areas at opposite sides of a platform for accessibility from the ground at opposite sides of the truck or the like upon which the body is mounted. Further, the concept is to form the body hereof in body units which themselves are arranged to be positioned at opposite sides of a platform assembly, such side units in turn being comprised of modular elements or modules, which may be assembled to form different combinations of storage areas, the assembly being effected in such a manner as to conceal the manner of assembly primarily to prevent deterioration of the same by the elements, the formation of the modules themselves being facilitated by reason of the substantially identical transverse cross-sectional configuration of the material from which the modules are formed, it being disclosed how modules of different forms can be assembled, the cross-sectional configuration of the material from which the modules are formed being arranged to provide for recessing of access doors and like members further adding to the resistance of the arrangement to the effect of elements thereon.
