Claims20
An anchorable prop, comprising:
- a body including a top side and a bottom, the body defining a cavity that is open at a first end of the body, the cavity extending through a first side of the body to a second side of the body;
- a loop extending from a second end of the body defining a gap between the loop and the second end of the body;
- and
- a finger protruding from the bottom of the body and extending in a direction towards the loop.
An anchorable prop for fastening to a bed frame, comprising:
- a body;
- a loop extending away from the body defining a gap;
- a narrow extension extending from the body on a side opposite the loop;
- a first support extending from a bottom of the body in between the loop and the narrow extension substantially orthogonal from the body;
- a second support extending from the narrow extension substantially orthogonal from the narrow extension;
- and
- a ribbed portion on the second support configured to improve grip against a flat-faced object;
- wherein the first support and the second support are spaced apart from one another, and the first support includes an aperture extending therethrough, and the body is thicker than the narrow extension.
