Abstract
An improved kiln or oven useable support structure is provided which includes a base having a surface with a plurality of vertically oriented support bores disposed thereacross. A plurality of straight and crank shaped support pins having predetermined cross-sections are removably insertable into the bores of said base. A curved support member has in one end an aperture having a configuration minimally larger than the cross-section of said support pins. When said aperture encircles a support pin and the axis of said aperture is substantially parallel with said pin the two move freely with respect to one another, but when the axis of said aperture is not substantially parallel with said pin, the two pinch-lock or bind to maintain their relative positions.
Claims19
A heat resisting structure for supporting an article above a surface while the article is being subjected to a predetermined amount of heat, said structure comprising a base section;
- a first support means selectively attached to said base and extending generally upwardly therefrom;
- and a second support means in adjustable complimental engagement with said first support means, said second support means having one portion thereof adapted to supportingly engage the article and a second portion thereof including selective locking means cooperating with said first support means, the relative position of said second support with respect to said first support means being selectively adjustable.
