Abstract
An adjustable support structure for a fireplace including upper and lower bars extending in a longitudinal direction, the upper bar being positioned above the lower bar and including a surface upon which the fireplace can rest. First and second cross bars are also included, each with upper and lower ends, the upper end of the first cross bar being coupled to the upper bar and the lower end of the second cross bar being coupled to the lower bar. The lower end of the first cross bar is moveably coupled to the lower bar and the upper end of the second cross bar is moveably coupled to the upper bar such that the upper bar may be adjusted upwards in a plane with respect to the lower bar to a desired height.

An adjustable support structure for a fireplace, the adjustable support comprising:
- upper and lower bars extending in a longitudinal direction, the upper bar being positioned above the lower bar in a plane and the upper bar defining a surface upon which the fireplace can rest;
- and
- first and second cross bars, each with upper and lower ends, the upper end of the first cross bar being coupled to the upper bar and the lower end of the second cross bar being coupled to the lower bar, and wherein the lower end of the first cross bar is moveably coupled to the lower bar and the upper end of the second cross bar is moveably coupled to the upper bar such that the upper bar may be adjusted upwards in the plane with respect to the lower bar to a desired height.
An adjustable support structure for a fireplace, the adjustable support comprising:
- upper and lower bars, each extending in a longitudinal direction and each defining at least one aperture, the upper bar being positioned above the lower bar in a plane;
- and
- a scissor assembly including first and second cross bars, each with upper and lower ends and coupled to one another at about a midpoint of the first and second cross bars, the upper end of the first cross bar being coupled to a second end of the upper bar and the lower end of the second cross bar being coupled to a second end of the lower bar, and wherein the lower end of the first cross bar is moveable in the longitudinal direction towards the lower end of the second cross bar and the upper end of the second cross bar is moveable in the longitudinal direction towards the upper end of the first cross bar such that the upper bar is adjusted upwards in the plane with respect to the lower bar to a desired height and the lower end of the first cross bar may then be coupled to the at least one aperture of the lower bar and the upper end of the second cross bar may be coupled to the at least one aperture of the upper bar.
A method for adjusting a support structure for a fireplace, the method comprising steps of:
- providing the support structure including upper and lower bars, a scissor assembly, and a surface for supporting the fireplace;
- adjusting the adjustable support to a desired height;
- and
- coupling the scissor assembly to the bars to lock the adjustable support at the desired height.
A method for supporting a fireplace, comprising steps of:
- providing an adjustable support structure;
- adjusting the adjustable support structure to a desired height;
- and
- placing the adjustable support structure below the fireplace to support the fireplace.
An adjustable support structure for a fireplace, the adjustable support comprising:
- upper and lower bars extending in a longitudinal direction, the upper bar being positioned above the lower bar and the upper bar defining a surface upon which the fireplace can rest;
- first and second cross bars, each with upper and lower ends;
- and
- means for adjustably coupling the first and second cross bars to the upper and lower bars when the adjustable support structure is at a desired height.
