Engineered metal crib for use as a support structure

An engineered metal crib support structure comprising:

• spaced apart upper first and second crib elements and spaced apart lower first and second crib elements;
• where said upper first crib element has a first elongate structure having first and second opposing distal ends having attached thereto respectively first and second load carrying members and where said upper second crib element has a second elongate structure having third and fourth opposing distal ends having attached thereto respectively third and fourth load carrying members;
• where said lower first crib element has a third elongate structure having fifth and sixth opposing distal ends having attached thereto respectively fifth and sixth load carrying members and where said lower second crib element has a fourth elongate structure having seventh and eighth distal ends having attached thereto respectively seventh and eighth load carrying members;
• where each load carrying members have upper and lower caps proximately vertically spaced apart and said upper and lower caps having respective substantially flat upper and lower contact surfaces that are substantially parallel one with respect to the other and where said upper and lower caps are connected there between and supported by a load carrying member;
• and
• where said spaced apart upper crib elements extend substantially parallel one with respect to the other and where said first and third load carrying members of said upper crib elements are vertically aligned immediately above fifth and seventh load carrying members of a lower crib elements and where said second and fourth load bearing members of said upper crib elements are vertically aligned immediately above sixth and eighth load carrying members and where said spaced apart lower crib elements extend substantially parallel one with respect to the other.

An engineered metal crib support structure comprising:

• a spaced apart upper first and second crib element pair and a spaced apart lower first and second crib element pair, where each crib element in the upper and lower crib element pairs has an elongate structure having distal opposing ends where each of said opposing ends has a load carrying member attached thereto and where each load carrying member has upper and lower caps proximately vertically spaced apart and said upper and lower caps having respective substantially flat upper and lower contact surfaces that are substantially parallel one with respect to the other and where said upper and lower caps are connected there between and supported by a load carrying member;
• where said spaced apart upper first and second crib element pair is oriented to extend substantially parallel one with respect to the other and said spaced apart lower first and second crib element pair is oriented to extend substantially parallel one crib element with respect to the other and extend substantially orthogonal with respect to the orientation of the, upper first and second crib element pair;
• and
• where each of said load carrying members of the spaced apart upper first and second crib element pair are aligned vertically above one of said load carrying members of the spaced apart lower first and second crib element pair and thereby structurally supported.
