CA2508538A1 - Safe adjustable holder for gas device - Google Patents

Abstract

The invention is an ADJUSTABLE ADJUSTABLE SUPPORT FOR GAS APPLIANCE. The inventive step is the use of a metal frame adjustable in height that can receive any format or configuration of gas appliance. This frame is mounted on 4 feet of adjustment at each corner thus allowing a good drainag e on the ground and under the apparatus. These four feet are adjustable in height to ensure the leveling of the support. This support is equipped with 4 removable concrete tiles as well as a geotextile membrane preventing the vegetation from getting between the tiles and the support. The use of this support avoids the use of the leveled concrete slab for the installation of a gas appliance.

The presented invention is a "ADJUSTABLE ADJUSTABLE SUPPORT FOR GAS APPLIANCE". Inventive activity live in the use of a metal frame adjustable in height which allows receive any format or configuration gas appliance. This frame is mounted on 4 feet of adjustment at each corner thus allowing good ground drainage and under the device. These four feet are adjustable in height to ensure leveling the support. This support is equipped with 4 removable concrete tiles and a geotextile membrane preventing vegetation from entering between tiles and support. The use of this support avoids the use of the leveled concrete slab for installation of a gas appliance. The following illustrations present the concept as well as its utilities.
Figure 1- Using the Adjustable Device Holder with gas Device at Support A is adjusted according to the format and configuration of the gas appliance B. Once the support A is properly adjusted to the ground and leveled horizontally using the feet adjustment, the installer may remove the gas appliance B from the the support A. The use of the support A thus allows a faster and more efficient installation, a facility for carry, a possibility to change the rack of place and no ,,.,.
requires no specialized labor. In addition, the support is safe and meets the standards of the Gas Installation Code natural and Quebec propane.

Support frame The frame of the support 1 constitutes the belt of the support. he can take any configuration to fit to all models of gas appliances. It retains the reinforcement central 2 and the adjustment feet 5 for height and horizontal leveling (see Figure 2).

2. Center reinforcements Reinforcements of center 2 are attached at both ends to support frame 1 (see figure 2).

3. Contour reinforcements Contour reinforcements 3 are fixed on the periphery of the frame support 1 (see Figure 2).

4. Corner Supports The corner supports 4 consist of four plates triangular ones fixed under the frame of the support 1 for support of the Adjustment foot 5 (see Figure 2).

5. Feet adjustment The adjustment feet 5 are located at the four corners of the bracket and are mounted on metal plates that allow a better sitting on the ground. The amounts of feet also consist of a threaded rod which fits into a nut inside the frame, allowing the height adjustment of each section of the support (see C
illustration 3).
