Abstract
A demolition device support has an elongated body that includes a base frame, a base frame support member, and an upper support member. The base frame is fixedly attached to the base frame support member, which is pivotably connected to the upper support member by a hinge. A handle extension member is mounted at the upper end of the body, and includes a mount for receiving handlebar. A collar is mounted at the lower end of the body, and is configured to receive a portion of the housing of a demolition device. The demolition device support is used to support a demolition device in an ergonomic and efficient position during use of the demolition device.
Claims18
A demolition device support comprising:
- an elongated rigid body having a distal end and a proximal end, the elongated rigid body comprising a base frame configured to support a demolition device, a base frame support member, and an upper support member, the upper support member being pivotably mounted on the base frame support member by a hinge, the hinge comprising end portions of the upper support member and the base frame support member that are disposed side-by-side, a bolt about which the end portions pivot, and a pair of angle brackets, disposed on opposite sides of the end portions;
- an attachment device, disposed at the distal end of the elongated rigid body, configured to secure the demolition device to the base frame;
- and
- a handlebar, extending from the proximal end of the elongated rigid body, configured to allow a user to maneuver the elongated rigid body;
- wherein the base frame is disposed at an angle with respect to the base frame support member, the base frame does not include wheels, and the base frame is configured to extend below the demolition device and support the demolition device during use.
A demolition device support comprising:
- an elongated rigid body having a distal end and a proximal end, the elongated rigid body comprising a base frame having a support surface configured to be positioned below a demolition device during use to support the demolition device, a base frame support member that extends upwardly from the base frame during use, and an upper support member;
- a knee brace extending from a surface of the elongated rigid body opposite the support surface, the knee brace being configured to allow a user to push against the elongated rigid body with the user's leg;
- an attachment device, disposed at the distal end of the elongated rigid body, configured to secure the demolition device to the base frame;
- and
- a handlebar, extending from the proximal end of the elongated rigid body, configured to allow a user to maneuver the elongated rigid body;
- wherein the base frame does not include wheels and thus the demolition device support is not self-supporting during use.
A method comprising:
- providing a demolition device support comprising:
- an elongated rigid body having a distal end and a proximal end, the elongated rigid body comprising a base frame, a base frame support member, and an upper support member, the upper support member being pivotably mounted on the base frame support member by a hinge;
- a knee brace extending from a surface of the elongated rigid body opposite a support surface of the base frame, the knee brace being configured to allow a user to push against the elongated rigid body with a leg of the user;
- an attachment device, disposed at the distal end of the elongated rigid body;
- and
- a handlebar, extending from the proximal end of the elongated rigid body, configured to allow a user to maneuver the elongated rigid body;
- wherein the base frame is disposed at an angle with respect to the base frame support member, the base frame does not include wheels, and the base frame is configured to extend below the demolition device and support the demolition device during use;
- and
- attaching a demolition device to the demolition device support using the attachment device, in a position such that a portion of the demolition device is supported by the base frame.
