Abstract
The present disclosure provides a modular frame system which comprises a number of highly adjustable telescopic rod supports that each have a bracket element at one end for bracing the assembly against a building structure side and a base plate at the opposing and that anchors the rod support to the ground at a desired angle. The telescopic rods are then expanded so that they are held in place by tension, forming a skeletal structure against the side of a building. The rear of the bracket elements comprise eyelets through which rope or line can be threaded to secure a cover sheet such as tarpaulin. The assembly allows for quick construction and disassembly of a protective cover structure against any building, regardless of the building surroundings.
Claims12
A modular frame system comprising a plurality of telescopic rod supports, each telescopic rod supports having:
- a bracket element formed of at least one plate having a first surface configured to support the rod against a surface of a building structure, an opposing surface of the plate having one or more eyelets configured to receive a line or rope;
- a first portion of a telescopic rod, a first end of the first portion being coupled to the bracket element by a hinged joint;
- a second portion of a telescopic rod, a first end of the second portion being coupled to a second end of the first portion by a lockable coupling configured to lock movement between the first and second portions at a fixed position;
- an adjustable-length support element installed within and protruding from an opposing second end of the second portion of the telescopic rod;
- and
- a base plate coupled to the adjustable-length support element by a swivel joint and configured to be anchored to the ground.
A modular frame system according to claim 9, wherein each telescopic rod support further comprises an exterior handle element for rotating the support element with respect to the telescopic rod.
