A main object of the invention is to provide a novel and improved adjustable table device for supporting an order pad or the like during the process of counting parts or merchandise stacked in bins, whereby the pad may be supported in an elevated position when the upper bins are being examined and in lower positions when the lower bins are being examined, said device being simple in construction, easy to manipulate, and reducing the possibility of making errors in counting and recording the amount of parts or other merchandise in the various bins.
A further object of the invention is to provide an. improved mobile adjustable pad-supporting table for use in taking inventory or in otherwise tabulating merchandise stacked in bins, said table being sturdy in construction, light in weight, inexpensive to manufacture, and foldable to a compact size when not in use.
Further objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following description and claims, and from the accompanying drawings, wherein:
Figure 1 is a front elevational view of an order pad-supporting table constructed in accordance with the present invention, shown in folded position;
Figure 2 is a side elevational view of the table of Figure 1;
Figure 3 is a top plan view of the table of Fig- Figure 4 is an enlarged fragmentary crosssectional .detail view taken on line 44 of Fig. 1;
Figure 5 is an enlarged cross-sectional detail view taken on line 5-5 of Figure 2; y T Figure 6 is an enlarged cross-sectional detail view taken on line 6-6 of Figure 7; Figure 7 is a view similar to Figure 2, but showing the step element of the table in operative position;
Figure 8 is a cross-sectional view taken on line 88 of Figure 7 Figure 9 is an enlarged cross-sectional detail view taken on line 9 9 of Figure 8 Figure 10 is a view similar to Figure 7, but showing the pad-supporting element in its lowered position.
Referring to the drawings, I designates a vertical rectangular frame structure comprising the vertical rear corner angle bars I 2, I2 and the vercured to its forward corners.
tical forward corner angle bars I3, I3, the rear angle bars I2, I2 extending higher than the for 'ward angle bars l3, I3. Secured to the top ends of the corner angle bars I2, I2 and I3, I3 is an inclined rectangular frame I4 constructed of angle bars having inwardly-directed top flanges I5. Rigidly secured to the corner angle bars at the sides of the frame structure I I are the horizontal angle bars I6, |6 located at the upper intermediate portion of said frame structure, as shown in Figures 1 and 2. Secured in the lower intermediate portion of said frame structure is a horizontal rectangular frame II constructed of angle bars having inwardly-directed top flanges, shown at I8. The vertically disposed angle bars l2, I3, the horizontally disposed angle bar I6, and the rectangular frame I! cooperateto form a pair of upstanding spaced side frames connected together by cross bars extending therebetween. Secured to the side elements of frame I! at its rear portion is a transverse horizontal bar I9. Hinged to the front element of frame I! at 20, 20 is a step member 2| comprising a top frame 22 having the depending legs 23, 23 se- Secured in overlying relation to top frame 22 is a rigid panel 24 provided with a covering of rubber 25, or of other suitable tread material. The ends of the legs 23 are provided with caps 26 of rubber or the like, as shown in Figure 6. The step member 2| may be positioned as shown in Figures 7 and 10, so that it provides an elevated support at the front of frame structure II, or may be swung to an inoperative housed position within the frame structure, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, wherein it rests in inverted position on the transverse bar I9.
Designated at 21 is a rectangular tray .having a handle 28 secured to the intermediate portion of its forward wall. Pivotally secured to the rear end portions of the side walls of tray 2'! are respective link bars 29, which are pivotally connected at their lower ends to the intermediate portions of the side bars I6, as shown at 30. As shown in Figures 1 and 2, tray 21 normally overlies and is supported on the top frame I I. Said tray is provided at its under surface adjacent its forward wall with a hinged leaf 3|. The tray may be supported in a horizontal position, as shown in dotted view in Figure 7, by swinging leaf 3| downwardly so that it bears on top frame I 4, as shown in dotted view in Figure 7. Said tray may also be swung forwardly and downwardly to an inclined position, as shown in dotted view in Figure 10, wherein the handle 28 abuts .ally holds the handle against outward slipping.
Finally, the tray 21 may be swung to a horizontal position, shown in full line view in Figure 10, wherein it is supported on the step member 21. The tray may therefore be arranged in any one of four different positions, as follows:
1. The normal upper inclined position shown in full lineview in Figures. 1, 2 and '7.
2. The upper horizontal position shown in dotted view in Figure '7.
3. The lower inclined position shown in dotted view in Figure 10.
4. The lower horizontal position shown in full line view in Figure 10.
With the device arranged as shown in, Figure 1, the tray maybe employed to support an, order. pad, inventory pad, or various items of merchandise, where the person checking the items mayreach the shelves on which they are located in a normal standing position. When items. on highe er. shelves must-be reached, the step member 2.! isswung; outwardly to the position shown in Fig.- ure '1, and is. employed as an elevated support for the. person checking the items. When thus employed, the. tray 2.! may be. left. either in its normal position or. may. be. placed in its elevated horizontal position shown in dotted view in Figure 7.. When items. in lower shelves are to. be
checked, the device. isarranged as shown in Figure 10,.with tray 21 either in the lower inclined positionv shown in dotted view in said figure, or in thelower. horizontal position shown therein.
The, lower ends of the vertical corner posts l2, l2 and; [3, l3 are provided with casters 32', errabling the device, in its folded position shown in Figures, 1'. and. 2,. to be readily moved to the cationat which it is to be used.
The. device enables the. order pad or inventory 7 pad, to be located adjacent the shelves to be checked at all times and thereby greatly reduces the possibility of errors in tabulating the quantities of the various items being checked.
While a specific embodiment of an adjustable pad-support device for taking inventories of parts andthe like. has been disclosed in the foregoing description, it will be understood that various modifications within the spirit of; the invention may occur'to those skilled in the art. Therefore, it is intended that no. limitations be placed on the invention except as defined by the scope of the appended claims;
