FIGS. 2 to 6 , thesupport pad 20 of the present invention comprises anouter coat 21 made by resilient material, and amain part 22 made by metal. Themain part 22 is located in theouter coat 21. Theouter coat 21 has aninsertion 211 and abase 212. Theinsertion 211 extends from thebase 212. Theinsertion 211 has tworidges 2111 extending diametrically from the outside thereof and theridges 2111 extend radially from the outside of theinsertion 211. Thegrate 10 has multiple throughholes 11 defined therethrough and theinsertion 211 extends through one of the throughholes 11 of thegrate 10. Theridges 2111 contact against the inside of the throughhole 11. Thebase 212 of theouter coat 21 is a cone-shaped base. - The
main part 22 has at least oneupright plate 221 and at least onebottom plate 222. The at least oneupright plate 221 is located within theinsertion 211 of theouter coat 21 and has anengaging portion 2211 which is located corresponding to theridges 2111. The at least oneupright plate 221 has a flat top. The at least oneupright plate 221 of themain part 22 has at least onepositioning hole 2212 through which the material of theouter coat 21 is filled. The at least onebottom plate 222 is located within thebase 212 of theouter coat 21. Theengaging portion 2211 urges theinsertion 211 to be securely engaged with thethrough hole 11. Theengaging portion 2211 includes multiple teeth on two sides of the body thereof and each of the teeth of theengaging portion 2211 extends downward an angle so that the teeth urge theinsertion 211 to be securely engaged with the throughhole 11.
