ADJUSTABLE SUPPORT
An adjustable support, which includes a stationary member and an adjustable member coupled to the stationary member in a manner that permits movement of the adjustable member relative to the stationary member and securing the adjustable member to the stationary member at a preferred position.
1 . An adjustable support, which comprises:
a stationary member having a base attached to a brace;
an adjustable member coupled to the stationary member, the adjustable member having another base attached to another brace and the another base including at least one of a base slot and another base slot for receipt of a plurality of different sized clamps.
2 . The support of claim 1 , wherein the adjustable member is slideably coupled to the stationary member.
3 . The support of claim 1 , wherein the base is securely fastened to one of a floor and a ceiling.
4 . The support of claim 1 , wherein the brace, the another base and the another brace are 90° angle iron.
5 . The support of claim 1 , wherein the another brace is attached to the another base near one end of the another base.
6 . The support of claim 5 , wherein the another base includes the base slot.
7 . The support of claim 1 , wherein each end of one of the plurality of different sized clamps is secured within the slot.
8 . The support of claim 7 , wherein one end of one of the plurality of different sized clamps is secured within the base slot and another end of the one of the plurality of different size clamps is secured within the another base slot.
9 . A method for adjusting a support, which comprises:
securing a base of a stationary member to a fixed surface;
coupling an adjustable member to the stationary member, the adjustable member having another base with at least one of a base slot and another base slot;
moving the adjustable member in a direction perpendicular to the base of the stationary member;
securing the adjustable member to the stationary member at one of a minimum position, a maximum position and a position between the minimum position and the maximum position; and
securing a clamp within at least one of the base slot and the another base slot, the clamp having a predetermined size.
10 . The method of claim 9 , further comprising removing the clamp and securing another clamp within at least one of the base slot and the another base slot, the another clamp having another predetermined size.
11 . The method of claim 1 , wherein each end of the clamp is secured within the base slot.
12 . The method of claim 11 , wherein one end of the clamp is secured within the base slot and another end of the clamp is secured within the another base slot.
13 . The support of claim 1 , wherein the adjustable member is moveable in a direction perpendicular to the base of the stationary member from a minimum extended position to a maximum extended position.
14 . The support of claim 13 , wherein the adjustable member is secured to the stationary member at one of the minimum extended position, the maximum extended position and a position between the minimum extended position and the maximum extended position.
15 . The support of claim 1 , wherein the another brace is attached to the another base between each end of the another base.
16 . The support of claim 15 , wherein the another base includes the base slot and the another base slot, the base slot and the another base slot being positioned opposite each other relative to a position where the another brace is attached to the another base.
