An adjustable gate comprises two u-shaped vertical bars having first anti-warping gutters, tension hooks; two horizontal bars having second anti-warping gutters; a chain-link mesh; two tension rods; and a truss having paddle-nuts. The first anti-warping gutters are inserted into the second anti-warping gutters to join the bars together and to prevent the gate from warping in all horizontal directions. The tension hooks are welded along the body of the vertical bars to eliminate tie wires to prevent personal injury. The tension rods are inserted along the vertical edges of the chain-link mesh and hooked on the tension hooks. The truss hooks on the vertical bars and is adjusted to a desired tension to hold the adjustable gate together. The truss paddle-nuts disposed at the two opposite ends of the truss turnbuckle interlock with the truss turnbuckle in a desired position and allow the truss tension to be increased or decreased incrementally.

A unique foldable table (having an automatic button-latching and button-releasing system, an automatic leg-centering system, and an automatic collapse-preventing system) comprises a collapse-preventing tabletop assembly, a plurality of extendable-leg assemblies, and a plurality of scissoring-arm assemblies. The scissoring-arm assemblies are attached to the extendable-leg assemblies, respectively. The extendable-leg assemblies are releasably attached to the collapse-preventing tabletop assembly.The extendable-leg assemblies have an automatic button-latching and button-releasing system and an automatic leg-centering system. The automatic button-latching and button-releasing system has unique spring-loaded latches for automatically latching and automatically releasing the release buttons of the unique foldable table to simplify all conventionally cumbersome, two-handed operations into uniquely easy, one-handed operations. The automatic leg-centering system has unique leg-centering clamps for automatically centering and clamping the extendable-leg assemblies to prevent the extendable-leg assemblies from wobbling.The collapse-preventing tabletop assembly has an automatic collapse-preventing system. The automatic collapse-preventing system has unique collapse-preventing clamps for automatically cross-interlocking the tabletop and the extendable-leg assemblies to prevent the unique foldable table from folding inwards and, thus, collapsing, to strengthen the whole structure of the unique foldable table, to increase the tolerance, durability, and lifespan of the unique foldable table, and to eliminate the risk of personal injury.

A multi-adjustable, rotating, and opposite-double-locking umbrella-stanchion system is operated with one finger for oppositely double-locking and -unlocking the umbrella-supporting post of a crank-arm-operated umbrella to secure it in different positions. The system comprises a canopy system, a supporting post, a stanchion base, a U-shaped rotational lever, an actuator arm, a push rod, two opposite L-shaped locking arms, two opposite locking cleats, radial teeth, and two opposite tension springs for pushing the opposite locking cleats downward to oppositely double-lock the post and the canopy system, in place. The radial teeth are molded to the stanchion base. To operate the system, lift the U-shaped rotational lever with one finger to lift the opposite locking cleats to oppositely double-unlock them. Next, rotate the supporting post to a desired position. Then, release the U-shaped rotational lever to oppositely double-lock the opposite locking cleats between the radial teeth.
