Universal adjustable bracket apparatus for supporting air conditioners and other devices

1. An apparatus for a universal bracket support, the apparatus comprising:

an L frame including a short arm coupled at a substantially right angle to a long arm with each having a plurality of spaced holes extending along each corresponding length; and

a slider arm including an extension leg having a slide guide coupled on one end of the extension leg, wherein the slide guide comprises an opening sized to slide over and be secured to the L frame, and a shoe coupled via a pivot coupling to another end of the extension leg.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , comprising one or more fasteners securing the L frame to the slide guide.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 , comprising one or more bolts and one or more corresponding nuts affixed to an underside of the slide guide, wherein the slide guide is secured to the L frame with the one or more bolts inserted through corresponding holes and is coupled to the one or more corresponding nuts.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the shoe comprises a flat rectangular piece having a first side coupled to the pivot coupling and a second opposing side coupled to a rubber sole.

5. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of spaced holes of the long arm comprise a first plurality of holes, the slide guide comprising a second plurality of holes extending along a length of the slide guide, wherein a spacing between the first plurality of holes is different than a spacing between the second plurality of holes such that the slide guide is securable along a length of the long arm in increments smaller than the first spacing.

6. A method for supporting an object, the method comprising acts of:

providing an L frame including a short arm coupled at a substantially right angle to a long arm with each having a plurality of spaced holes extending along each corresponding length;

providing a slider arm including an extension leg having a slide guide coupled on one end of the extension leg, wherein the slide guide comprises an opening sized to slide over and be secured to the L frame, and a shoe coupled via a pivot coupling to another end of the extension leg; securing the L frame to a support structure;

sliding the slide guide over the long arm until the shoe abuts the support structure;

securing the slide guide to the long arm with a fastener; and

positioning the object such that it is supported by the L frame.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the act of securing the L frame comprises acts of:

positioning the long arm over a bottom portion of a window frame; and

fastening one or more fasteners through corresponding ones of the plurality of holes into a bottom portion of the window frame.

8. The method of claim 6 , comprising an act of securing one or more nuts to an underside of the slide guide in a position corresponding to one or more holes through the slide guide, wherein the act of securing the slide guide to the long arm comprises an act of passing one or more fasteners through the one or more holes in the slide guide and the long arm and securing the one or more fasteners to corresponding ones of the one or more nuts.

9. The method of claim 6 , wherein the shoe is a flat rectangular piece, the method comprising an act of affixing a rubber sole to a first side of the shoe, wherein the pivot coupling is coupled to the shoe on a second side opposing the first side, and wherein the rubber sole is positioned between the support structure and the first side of the shoe.

10. The method of claim 6 wherein the plurality of spaced holes of the long arm comprise a first plurality of holes, the slide guide comprising a second plurality of holes extending along a length of the slide guide, wherein a spacing between the first plurality of holes is different than a spacing between the second plurality of holes such that the slide guide is securable along a length of the long arm in increments smaller than the first spacing.

11. The method of claim 6 , wherein the support structure is a window with a surrounding wall and wherein the act of securing the L frame comprises an act of positioning the short arm of the L frame inside the window extending downwards and the extension leg extending towards the wall with the shoe resting against the wall.

12. The method of claim 6 , wherein the support structure is a window with a surrounding wall and wherein the act of securing the L frame comprises an act of positioning the short arm of the L frame inside the window extending upwards across an inside surface of the object and the extension leg extending towards the wall with the shoe resting against the wall such that the object is secured from sliding into the window.

13. The method of claim 6 , wherein the support structure is a window with a surrounding wall and wherein the act of securing the L frame comprises an act of positioning the short arm of the L frame outside the window extending upwards across an outside surface of the object and the extension leg extending towards the wall with the shoe resting against the wall such that the object is secured from sliding out of the window.

14. The method of claim 6 , wherein the support structure is a window with a surrounding wall and wherein the act of securing the L frame comprises an act of positioning the short arm of the L frame outside the window extending downwards below the object and the extension leg extending towards the wall with the shoe resting against the wall.

15. The method of claim 6 , wherein the slider arm is a first slider arm, the extension leg is a first extension leg, the slide guide is a first slide guide and the shoe is a first shoe, the method comprising acts of:

providing a second slider arm including a second extension leg having a second slide guide coupled on one end of the second extension leg, wherein the second slide guide comprises an opening sized to slide over and be secured to the L frame, and a second shoe coupled via a second pivot coupling to another end of the second extension leg;

sliding the second slide guide over the long arm with a second extension leg extending downward and away from the first extension leg; and

securing the second shoe to the object.

16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the second pivot coupling is a variable tension pivot which is securable at a desired angle.
