Abstract

An adjustable support, comprising a base, a first tubular member extending upwardly from the base, the first tubular member comprising a first friction lock, a second tubular member arranged in telescoping engagement with the first tubular member, the second tubular member comprising a second friction lock and, a non-abrasive transverse member pivotably arranged on the second tubular member, wherein the first friction lock telescopingly secures the second tubular member within the first tubular member and the second friction lock pivotably secures the transverse member to the second tubular member.

Claims

1. An adjustable support, comprising:

a base;

a first tubular member extending upwardly from said base;

a second tubular member arranged in telescoping engagement with said first tubular member;

a non-abrasive transverse member comprising a first end member positioned at a first elevation and a second end member positioned at a second elevation, wherein the transverse member is pivotably arranged on said second tubular member;

a first friction lock configured to telescopingly secure said second tubular member within said first tubular member; and

,

a second friction lock configured to pivotably secure said transverse member to said second tubular member;

wherein when the non-abrasive transverse member pivots relative to the second tubular member, the first elevation changes relative to the second elevation.

3. The adjustable support as recited in claim 1, wherein said first end member and said second end member are non-abrasive.

4. The adjustable support recited in claim 1, wherein said second friction lock is a bolt and nut compressing said second tubular member with said transverse member.

5. The adjustable support recited in claim 1, wherein said base is circular.

6. The adjustable support recited in claim 1, wherein said first tubular member and said second tubular member are metal tubes.

2. (canceled)

7. An adjustable support, comprising:

a base;

a first tubular member extending upwardly from said base, said first tubular member comprising a first locking means;

a second tubular member arranged in telescoping engagement with said first tubular member, said second tubular member comprising a second locking means; and

,

a transverse member comprising a first end member positioned at a first elevation and a second end member positioned at a second elevation, wherein the transverse member is pivotably arranged on said second tubular member;

wherein said first locking means telescopingly secures said second tubular member within said first tubular member, and said second locking means pivotably secures said transverse member to said second tubular member, and when the transverse member pivots relative to the second tubular member, the first elevation changes relative to the second elevation.

10. The adjustable support as recited in claim 7, wherein said first locking means is a friction lock.

11. The adjustable support recited in claim 7, wherein said second locking means is a bolt and nut compressing said second tubular member with said transverse member.

12. The adjustable support recited in claim 7, wherein said base is circular.

13. The adjustable support recited in claim 7, wherein said first tubular member and said second tubular member are metal tubes.

8. (canceled)

9. The adjustable support as recited in claim 9, wherein said first end member and said second end member are non-abrasive.

14. An adjustable support, comprising:

a base;

a first member extending upwardly from said base, said first member comprising a first locking means;

a second member arranged in telescoping engagement with said first member, said second member comprising a second locking means; and

,

a transverse member comprising a first end member positioned at a first elevation and a second end member positioned at a second elevation, wherein the transverse member is pivotably arranged on said second member;

wherein said first locking means telescopingly secures said second member within said first member, said second locking means pivotably secures said transverse member to said second member, and when the transverse member pivots relative to the second tubular member, the first elevation changes relative to the second elevation.

16. The adjustable support as recited in claim 14, wherein said first end member and said second end member are non-abrasive.

17. The adjustable support as recited in claim 14, wherein said first locking means is a friction lock.

18. The adjustable support recited in claim 14, wherein said second locking means is a bolt and nut compressing said second tubular member with said transverse member.

19. The adjustable support recited in claim 14, wherein said base is circular.

20. The adjustable support recited in claim 14, wherein said first member and said second member are metal tubes.

15. (canceled)
