Adjustable angle floor support

Adjustable angle plumb and level floor support for free standing portable room divider panels comprising:

• a lower load bearing leg section having an upwardly directed end portion provided with a laterally directed load bearing engagement face and a transverse shoulder portion and adapted to be mounted on a floor engaging foot,
• an upper load transmitting leg section having a downwardly directed end portion provided with a cooperating laterally directed load transmitting engagement face and a transverse shoulder portion and adapted to receive in load bearing relation thereon a portable room divider panel,
• releasable positioning means adjustably operatively interpositioning about an axis of pivot said upper leg section on said lower leg section in partial overlapping relation at said faces and with said shoulder portions in opposed selectively vertically spaced apart corresponding facing relation and said faces in opposed lateral direct load bearing releasable interengaging contact substantially along their common extent for relative angular displacement between said leg sections about said axis for plumb and level adjustment, and
• a longitudinal impingement sleeve positioned in captively enclosing selectively spaced operative relation with respect to said leg sections for impingement to limit selectively the range of relative angular displacement between said leg sections.

Adjustable angle plumb and level floor support for free standing portable room divider panels comprising:

• a floor engaging elongated foot,
• a lower load bearing leg section operatively mounted on said foot and having an upwardly directed end portion provided with a laterally directed load bearing engagement face,
• an upper load transmitting leg section having a downwardly directed end portion provided with a cooperating laterally directed load transmitting engagement face,
• a portable room divider panel operatively received in load bearing relation on said upper leg section,
• releasable positioning means adjustably operatively interpositioning about an axis of pivot said upper leg section on said lower leg section in partial overlapping relation at said faces and with said faces in opposed lateral direct load bearing releasable interengaging contact substantially along their common extent and with the remainder of said end portions operatively spaced from each other and disposed out of direct load bearing contact with each other for relative angular displacement between said leg sections about said axis for plumb and level adjustment, and
• a longitudinal impingement sleeve downwardly depending from said room divider panel and terminating a selective distance above said floor engaging foot to provide an articulating impingement gap therebetween and positioned in captively enclosing selectively spaced operative relation with respect to said leg sections for impingement against the adjacent portion of said floor engaging foot to limit selectively the range of relative angular displacement between said leg sections upon corresponding relative articulation of said sleeve and foot about said axis to close said impingement gap.

Adjustable angle plumb and level floor support for free standing portable room divider panels comprising:

• a floor engaging elongated foot,
• a lower load bearing leg section operatively mounted on said foot and having a laterally directed longitudinal load bearing engagement face medially bounded by an upwardly directed transverse intermediate abutment shoulder and terminally bounded by an upwardly directed transverse end abutment shoulder,
• an upper load transmitting leg section having a cooperating laterally directed longitudinal load transmitting engagement face medially bounded by a downwardly directed transverse intermediate abutment shoulder and terminally bounded by a downwardly directed transverse end abutment shoulder,
• a portable room divider panel operatively received in load bearing relation on said upper leg section,
• said leg sections being adjustably operatively interpositioned in corresponding overlapping rabbet form with said upper leg section on said lower leg section in partial overlapping relation at said faces, and with said faces in opposed lateral direct load bearing releasable interengaging contact substantially along their common extent for relative angular displacement between said leg sections about a substantially horizontal axis of pivot, and with said lower leg section end shoulder in opposed relation to said upper leg section intermediate shoulder and forming one set of opposed shoulders and said upper leg section end shoulder in opposed relation to said lower leg section intermediate shoulder and forming another set of opposed shoulders and correspondingly with the opposed shoulder of at least one of said sets longitudinally spaced apart a selective distance sufficient to provide a corresponding articulating gap therebetween to limit selectively the range of relative angular displacement between said leg sections upon relative articulation of the opposed shoulders of such set about said axis to close the corresponding gap and cause impingement between said opposed shoulders,
• corresponding aligned locking tension screw receiving transverse apertures in said leg sections and defining the axis of angular displacement between said leg sections,
• a releasably positioning locking tension screw operatively received in said apertures and articulatingly interconnecting said leg sections about said axis with said faces in releasable compressive interengaging contact, and
• a longitudinal impingement sleeve downwardly depending from said room divider panel and terminating a selective distance about said floor engaging foot to provide an articulating impingement gap therebetween and positioned in captively enclosing selectively spaced operative relation with respect to said leg sections for impingement against the adjacent portion of said floor engaging foot to limit selectively independently the range of relative angular displacement between said leg sections upon corresponding articulation of said sleeve and foot about said axis to close said impingement gap.
