Support for a watercraft
A support includes a frame defining a first engagement point and a second engagement point. An extrusion member is formed as a single continuous component and includes a plate portion, a first channel formed on a first side of the plate portion, a second channel formed on the first side of the plate portion, a first lock member formed on a second side of the plate portion, and a second lock member formed on the second side of the plate portion. The first channel engages the first engagement point and the second channel engages the second engagement point to attach the extrusion member to the frame. A board includes a first slot and a second slot, the first slot engaged with the first lock member and the second slot engaged with the second lock member to attach the board to the extrusion member.
1 . A support comprising:
a frame defining a first engagement point and a second engagement point;
an extrusion member formed as a single continuous component and including a plate portion, a first channel formed on a first side of the plate portion, a second channel formed on the first side of the plate portion, a first lock member formed on a second side of the plate portion, and a second lock member formed on the second side of the plate portion, the first channel engaged with the first engagement point and the second channel engaged with the second engagement point to attach the extrusion member to the frame;
a board having a rectangular cross section that defines a first wide surface and a second wide surface parallel to the first wide surface, the first wide surface including a first slot and a second slot formed therein, the first slot engaged with the first lock member and the second slot engaged with the second lock member to attach the board to the extrusion member, wherein the first wide surface engages the plate portion.
2 . The support of claim 1 , wherein each engagement point includes a fastener that is movable to fixedly attach the extrusion member to the frame.
3 . The support of claim 2 , wherein the first channel includes an engagement face and wherein two fasteners engage the engagement face.
4 . The support of claim 1 , wherein the first lock member has a rectangular cross-section normal to a longitudinal axis of the extrusion member and extends the full length of the extrusion member.
5 . The support of claim 4 , wherein the first slot has a rectangular cross-section normal to a longitudinal axis of the extrusion member and extends the full length of the extrusion member.
6 . The support of claim 1 , wherein the first lock member and the second lock member each extend parallel to a longitudinal axis of the extrusion member.
7 . The support of claim 1 , wherein the first channel includes a first leg and a second leg that cooperates with the first leg to define an engagement face, the engagement face engaged with the first engagement point.
8 . The support of claim 1 , wherein the board is formed from a thermo-plastic material.
9 . The support of claim 1 , wherein the board is formed from a high density polyethylene (HDPE) material.
10 . The support of claim 1 , wherein the support is a trailer and includes two wheels and a tongue.
11 . A support comprising:
a frame formed to support an object;
a first engagement point connected to the support;
a second engagement point connected to the support;
an extrusion member defining a longitudinal axis and having a length along the longitudinal axis, the extrusion member including:
a plate portion defining a first side and a second side;
a first channel formed on the first side of the plate portion and extending parallel to the longitudinal axis and defining a first engagement face, the first channel coupled to the first engagement point;
a second channel extending parallel to the longitudinal axis and defining a second engagement face, the second channel coupled to the second engagement point;
a first lock member formed on the second side of the plate portion; and
a second lock member formed on the second side of the plate portion; and
a board having a rectangular cross section that defines a first wide surface and a second wide surface parallel to the first wide surface, the first wide surface including a first lock receiving member and a second lock receiving member, the first lock member engaged with the first lock receiving member and the second lock member engaged with the second lock receiving member to connect the first wide surface of the board to the plate portion of the extrusion member, the second wide surface of the board operable to support the object.
12 . The support of claim 11 , wherein the first engagement point and the second engagement point each includes a fastener that is movable to fixedly attach the extrusion member to the frame.
13 . The support of claim 11 , wherein the first lock member has a rectangular cross-section normal to a longitudinal axis of the extrusion member and extends the full length of the extrusion member.
14 . The support of claim 13 , wherein the first lock receiving member includes a first slot that has a rectangular cross-section normal to the longitudinal axis of the extrusion member and extends the full length of the extrusion member.
15 . The support of claim 11 , wherein the first lock member and the second lock member each extend parallel to a longitudinal axis of the extrusion member.
16 . The support of claim 11 , wherein the first channel includes a first leg and a second leg that cooperates with the first leg to define the first engagement face, the first engagement face engaged with the first engagement point.
17 . The support of claim 11 , wherein the board is formed from a thermo-plastic material.
18 . The support of claim 11 , wherein the board is formed from a high density polyethylene (HDPE) material.
19 . The support of claim 11 , wherein the board is made of wood.
20 . The support of claim 11 , wherein the plate portion, the first channel, the second channel, the first lock member, and the second lock member are formed as a single continuous component.
