Abstract
A brace for stabilizing a vehicle is provided. The brace includes a main tube including a first end and a second end and defining at least one first set of orifices. An extension tube is disposed in the main tube from the first end and defines at least one second set of orifices. The position of the extension tube is set by selectively aligning at least one set of orifices from the first set and at least one set of orifices from the second set and inserting a fastener through the aligned orifices. A vehicle anchor is removably connected to the extension tube and a footer is removably connected to the second end of the main tube. A method for using a brace to stabilize a vehicle is also provided.
Claims22
A brace for stabilizing a vehicle, comprising:
- a main tube including a first end and a second end and defining at least one first set of orifices;
- an extension tube disposed in the main tube from the first end and defining at least one second set of orifices, whereby the position of the extension tube is set by selectively aligning at least one set of orifices from the first set and at least one set of orifices from the second set and inserting a fastener through the aligned orifices;
- a vehicle anchor removably connected to the extension tube;
- and
- a footer removably connected to the second end of the main tube.
A brace for stabilizing a vehicle, comprising:
- a main tube including a first end, a second end and a fine adjuster including a screw, and defining at least one first set of orifices;
- an extension tube disposed in the main tube from the first end and defining at least one second set of orifices, whereby the position of the extension tube is set by selectively aligning at least one set of orifices from the first set and at least one set of orifices from the second set and inserting a fastener through the aligned orifices;
- a vehicle anchor removably connected to the extension tube;
- and
- a footer removably connected to the second end of the main tube and including at least one set of parallel flanges that define at least one set of orifices.
A method for using a brace to stabilize a vehicle, comprising the steps of:
- providing a main tube defining at least one first set of orifices;
- providing an extension tube disposed in the main tube and defining at least one second set of orifices;
- sliding the extension tube out of the main tube to a desired length;
- aligning at least one set of the first set of orifices and one set of the second set of orifices;
- securing the position of the extension tube in the main tube;
- positioning an anchor that is connected to the extension tube against the vehicle to be stabilized;
- and
- positioning a footer that is connected to the main tube on a stable surface.
