Abstract
A system and method for creating an anchoring device that attaches between two nearby surfaces that may be oriented at different angles to each other about a vertical axis is described. The anchoring device includes a first and second support base that are fastened to a support surface, and a cross member that extends between the support bases and is pivotable about a vertical axis with respect to the support bases. The cross member may be adjustable in length. The anchoring device can be used to support an end of a plank to make a platform. The other end of the plank may be supported by a second anchoring device or another support surface.
Claims17
An anchoring device for attachment to a first and second surface comprising:
- a first and second support base for attachment to the first and second surface, respectively;
- and
- a cross member having a first and second end for pivotable attachment to the first and second support base, the cross member being adjustable in length;
- wherein each end of the cross member can independently pivot about a vertical axis with respect to the support bases for allowing the anchoring device to attach to first and second surfaces that are at different angles with respect to a vertical axis.
A method for creating an anchoring device comprising the steps of:
- a) fastening a first support base to a first surface;
- b) fastening a second support base to a second surface;
- c) pivotably connecting a first end of a cross member to the first support base;
- d) pivotably connecting the second end of the cross member to the second support base;
- and
- e) adjusting the length of the cross member to fit the anchoring device between the first and second surfaces.
