Adjustable support device for bay windows and other protruding building structures

An adjustable support device, comprising:

• a horizontal segment configured to be placed against a lower surface of a protruding building structure, the horizontal segment including a plurality of holes at or near a front end of the horizontal segment, the plurality of holes configured to receive a pin that extends through at least two holes of the plurality of holes, wherein the pin extends laterally across the horizontal segment;
• a vertical segment configured to be placed against a wall and configured to extend downwardly from the lower surface of the protruding building structure along the wall;
• the vertical segment including a top end that is pivotally coupled to a rear end of the horizontal segment;
• and
• an adjustable segment configured to extend diagonally from a bottom end of the vertical segment to the pin at or near the front end of the horizontal segment, the adjustable segment including a first end that is pivotally coupled to the bottom end of the vertical segment and a second end that is configured to be held in a selected position by the pin at or near the front end of the horizontal segment.

A system, comprising:

• a bay window;
• and
• at least two adjustable window support devices placed against a wall beneath the bay window and spaced apart from one another, each of the at least two adjustable window support devices including:
• a horizontal segment configured to be placed against a lower surface of the bay window, the horizontal segment including a plurality of holes at or near a front end of the horizontal segment, the plurality of holes configured to receive a pin that extends through at least two holes of the plurality of holes, wherein the pin extends laterally across the horizontal segment;
• a vertical segment configured to be placed against the wall and configured to extend downwardly from the lower surface of the bay window along the wall;
• the vertical segment including a top end that is pivotally coupled to a rear end of the horizontal segment;
• and
• an adjustable segment configured to extend diagonally from a bottom end of the vertical segment to the pin at or near the front end of the horizontal segment, the adjustable segment including a first end that is pivotally coupled to the bottom end of the vertical segment and a second end that is configured to be held in a selected position by the pin at or near the front end of the horizontal segment, wherein the adjustable segment is configured to be adjusted by increasing or decreasing a length of the adjustable segment.
