Claims3
A framework for supporting automobiles and the like comprising elongated vertical support members spaced from one another, interconnecting means received on the longitudinal ends of said vertical support members, said interconnecting means comprising a flat base plate and two cylindrical pipe elements extending from said flat base plate, said two cylindrical pipe elements having axes disposed perpendicular to said base plate, said two cylindrical pipe elements being spaced from one another, a vertical plate secured to said base plate between said spaced cylindrical pipe elements, elongated horizontal support members extending between said interconnecting means, said horizontal support members having cylindrical portions on their longitudinal ends thereof with the axes of said cylindrical portions being disposed substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the respective elongated horizontal member, said vertical support members and said horizontal support members being disposed in a first generally common plane, and pairs of diagonal support elements extending between said vertical support members and crisscrossing one another at a position intermediate said spaced vertical support members, said diagonal support elements being disposed in a second generally common plane disposed perpendicularly to said first generally common plane, said pairs of diagonal support elements being secured to said vertical plate, support beams extending between said elongated horizontal support members, and flooring means mounted on said support beams, said interconnecting means providing for joining two such interconnecting means one on top of the other of the other to thereby provide for vertical build-up of a plurality of identical frame structures one on top of the other.
