Range hood support lift
A range hood support lift for positioning and supporting the weight of range hoods, exhaust vents, microwave ovens, and the like during the installation process. The range hood support lift includes a support section having a plurality of support arms. A base section includes a plurality of legs and a scissor section separates the plurality of legs. In use, the base section adjusts the height of the support section above the base section and the scissor section adjusts the distance between the plurality of legs.
1. A range hood support lift comprising:
a base section having two upside-down T-shape bases;
a support section having two T-shape supports, the support section slidably connected to the base section;
the support section and the base section form an I-shape;
a single scissor section connecting the two T-shape supports and vertically movable along with the two T-shape supports relative to the two upside-down T-shape bases to adjust a height of the range hood support lift;
wherein the single scissor section is configured to adjust a horizontal distance between the two T-shape supports and the two upside-down T-shape bases; and
wherein a range hood is supported on an upper surface of each of the two T-shape supports, and the two upside-down T-shape bases are supported on a supporting surface.
2. The range hood support lift as in claim 1 , wherein the upper surface of each of the two T-shape supports is padded.
3. The range hood support lift as in claim 1 , wherein each of the two T-shape supports include a measuring rule for adjusting a height of each of the two T-shape supports.
4. The range hood support lift as in claim 1 , wherein each of the two upside-down T-shape bases has a plurality of leveling feet on a lower surface thereof.
5. The range hood support lift as in claim 1 , wherein the single scissor section including a plurality of interconnected cross-members that are adjusted in an accordion like movement.
6. The range hood support lift as in claim 1 , wherein each of the two T-shape supports comprises a plurality of extensions for increasing an overall height of each of the two T-shape supports above the supporting surface.
7. The range hood support lift as in claim 1 , wherein each of the two vertically movable T-shape supports are locked into a fixed position relative to a respective one of the two upside-down T-shape bases using a height locking lever.
8. The range hood support lift as in claim 1 , a frictional raising mechanism moves each of the two vertically movable T-shape supports relative to a respective one of the two upside-down T-shape bases using a bar clamp.
9. The range hood support lift as in claim 8 , wherein each of the two vertically movable T-shape supports are locked into a fixed position relative to a respective one of the two upside-down T-shape bases using the bar clamp.
10. The range hood support lift as in claim 1 , further comprising a locking bar configured to lock horizontal distance between the two T-shape supports and the two upside-down T-shape bases in a closed position.
11. An appliance support lift comprising:
a base section having two upside-down T-shape bases;
a support section having two T-shape supports, the support section slidably connected to the base section;
the support section and the base section form an I-shape;
a single scissor section connecting the two T-shape supports and vertically movable along with the two T-shape supports relative to the two upside-down T-shape bases to adjust a height of the appliance support lift;
wherein the single scissor section is configured to adjust a horizontal distance between the two T-shape supports and the two upside-down T-shape bases;
wherein an appliance is supported on an upper surface of each of the two T-shape supports, and
the two upside-down T-shape bases are supported on a supporting surface.
