Abstract

A table base system includes a platform extending from a first end to a second end; a first braking apparatus connected to the platform at the first end, the braking apparatus having a mechanical cam; a spring to aid in retaining the braking apparatus in a locked position; and a lever to move the mechanical cam; the lever is accessible from a top of the platform; and the braking apparatus is engaged via pressure applied to the lever.

Claims (30)

1. A table base system, comprising:

a platform extending from a first end to a second end;

a first braking apparatus connected to the platform at the first end, the braking apparatus having:

a body forming an inner area;

a mechanical cam disposed within the inner are, the mechanical cam extending from a first cam end to a second cam end, the first cam end is pivotally attached to the body;

a spring configured to aid in retaining the braking apparatus in a locked position;

an arm pivotally attached to the spring and disposed within the inner area;

a foot secured to the arm, the foot is configured to extend at a position outside the inner area; and

a lever configured to move the mechanical cam;

wherein the lever is accessible from a top of the platform; and

wherein the braking apparatus is engaged via pressure applied to the lever.

2. The system of claim 1 , further comprising:

one or more wheels extending from a bottom of the platform.

3. The system of claim 1 ,

wherein the arm is engaged with the spring and the mechanical cam; and

wherein activation of the mechanical cam causes the foot to extend to the ground via the arm and the spring.

4. The system of claim 3 , wherein the foot is secured to the arm via an extendable rod.

5. The system of claim 4 , wherein the extendable rod is a self-leveling rod.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first braking apparatus further comprises:

a brake pedal extending from a first side of the first end to a second side of the first end;

wherein the brake pedal is secured to the lever at the first side; and

wherein the brake pedal becomes level with the platform when in a locked position.

7. The system of claim 6 , further comprising:

a second breaking apparatus positioned on the second side of the first end; and

wherein the brake pedal is in communicate with the second breaking apparatus via a second lever; and

wherein the breaking apparatus and second breaking apparatus is locked via the first side or the second side.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the platform has a flat top surface.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the platform is positioned less than 8 inches from the ground surface.

10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first locking mechanism is configured to remain locked until acted upon by pressure.

11. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first end is elevated approximately 3 inches above the ground surface.
