Adjustable supports for mounting a planar object between opposed surfaces
First Claim
1. An adjustable support for mounting a substantially planar object between a first support surface and an opposed second support surface, the adjustable support comprising:
- a substantially L-shaped base having a first side and a second side;
a clamp having a side surface and a bottom surface, the clamp being removably and adjustably attached to the first side of the L-shaped base, thereby forming an aperture between the second side of the L-shaped base and the bottom surface of the clamp, the aperture adjustable in width corresponding to a width of the substantially planar object; and
a means for engaging the adjustable support passing through the clamp and passing through a hole in the first side of the L-shaped base, the means for engaging entering a hole in the first support surface when the means for engaging is in an extended position, thereby holding the substantially planar object between the first support surface and the opposed second support surface.

Abstract
The present invention is an adjustable support for installing a planar sheet of material between opposed surfaces for protection from events such as storms. The supports secure the planar sheet to an opening such as a door and window, thereby holding it in place during storms, etc. The supports are easily removed and include a substantially L-shaped base and a clamp. The clamp is removably and adjustably attached to the first side of the L-shaped base, thereby forming an aperture between the second side of the L-shaped base and the bottom surface of the clamp. The aperture is adaptable to accept various thicknesses of substantially planar objects. A device is provided for engaging the adjustable support with a support structure, passing through the clamp and passing through a hole in the first side of the L-shaped base and interfacing with support surfaces to hold the substantially planar object between the first support surface and a substantially opposed second support surface.

8. An adjustable support for mounting a substantially planar object between substantially opposed support surfaces, the adjustable support comprising:
-
a substantially L-shaped base having a first side and a second side; a clamp having a side surface and a bottom surface, the clamp being removably and adjustably attached to the first side of the L-shaped base forming an aperture between the second side of the L-shaped base and the bottom surface of the clamp, the aperture adjustable in width corresponding to a width of the substantially planar object; and a means for securing the adjustable support to the substantially opposed support surfaces, the means for securing passing through the clamp and passing through an elongated hole in the first side of the L-shaped base and into a hole in a first support surface thereby holding the substantially planar object between the first support surface and a second support surface when the means for securing is extended. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12)
