## 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

### Claim 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 mechanical cam;
a spring configured to aid in retaining the braking apparatus in a locked position; and
a lever configured to move the mechanical cam;
wherein the lever is accessible from a top of the platform;
wherein the braking apparatus is engaged via pressure applied to the lever; and
wherein the braking apparatus is engaged via a first side and a second side of the first end.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, further comprising:
one or more wheels extending from a bottom of the platform.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the first breaking apparatus further comprises:
a foot secured to an arm;
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.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

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

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

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

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the first braking apparatus further comprises:
a brake pedal extending from the first side to the 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.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

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 engaged with the second breaking apparatus via a second lever; and
wherein the breaking apparatus and second breaking apparatus can be locked via the first side or the second side.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

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

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the platform is positioned approximately 3 inches from the ground surface.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

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

### Claim 11 (depends on 1)

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