Claims9
An adjustable magnetic support stand for supporting a pallet around an inner mold and on a sub-base, the stand comprising:
- a housing comprising a hollow tube with an opening oriented upward, at least one receiving hole, and a foot extending perpendicularly from a bottom of the housing;
- a leg positioned in the hollow tube of the housing comprising at least one receiving hole;
- a removable pin for positioning through the at least one receiving hole of the hollow tube and the at least one receiving hole of the leg to set a vertical height of the stand;
- and
- a magnet attached to the housing and adapted for holding the stand in position,
- wherein the magnet is attached to the foot of the housing, wherein the bottom of the magnet constitutes a portion of a bottom of the stand such that the magnet is adaptable to secure the stand to the sub-base, and wherein the foot of the housing further comprises two plates positioned apart from each other and a mounting bracket extending in between, and wherein the magnet is attachable to the mounting bracket and positioned between the two plates.
