Patent ID: 7717290

Claim:
A transport device adapted to be transported by air or surface transportation, said transport device comprising: a base; a movable corner block movably coupled to said base; and an adjustment mechanism adapted to selectively position said corner block with respect to said base, said adjustment mechanism adapted to selectively move said corner block between an air transport position and a surface transport position, said adjustment mechanism including a leg having a first end coupled to the corner block and a second end coupled to a selectively rotatable shaft such that rotation of said shaft moves said corner block along a translational axis to a selected position with respect to said base, and a connector member coupled to said leg for conjoint movement with said leg and said corner block along said translational axis, said connector member including a rotatable ring and one or more locking pins coupled to said ring such that rotation of said ring conjointly moves each said locking pin between a retracted position and an extended position, said locking pins adapted to prevent movement of said leg and said corner block along said translational axis when said locking pins are in the extended position, said locking pins allowing movement of said leg and said corner block along said translational axis when said locking pins are in said retracted position.
