Abstract
Adjustable support apparatus for temporarily supporting a door frame or the like in a fixed relationship with one or more fixed supports suitably spaced therefrom, comprising: an elongated brace assembly including first and second telescoping members movable between contracted and extended positions and a setting device for fixing the first and second members in one of the contracted and extended positions; a first connector assembly at one end of the brace assembly adapted for removable attachment to a door frame; and a second connector assembly at the other end of the brace assembly adapted for removable attachment to one of the fixed supports.

Adjustable support apparatus for temporarily supporting a door frame or the like in a fixed relationship with one or more fixed supports suitably spaced therefrom, comprising:
- an elongated brace assembly including first and second telescoping members movable between contracted and extended positions and setting means for fixing said first and second members in one of said positions, a first connected assembly at one end of said brace assembly adapted for removable attachment to said door frame, and a second connector assembly at the other end of said brace assembly adapted for removable attachment to one of said fixed supports;
- said first connector assembly including a first channel-like component having parallel flange portions connected by a web portion and attached to said brace assembly for rotation about the central axis thereof, a second component comprising the leaf of a hinge, the joint of which is formed by a shaft the ends of which are supported by said parallel flange portions of said channel-like component for pivoting about an axis substantially perpendicular to said central axis, and a third component attached to said second component forming a clamp by which said first connector assembly may be removably attached to the door frame.
Adjustable support apparatus for temporarily supporting a door frame or the like in a fixed relationship with one or more fixed supports suitably spaced therefrom comprising:
- an elongated brace assembly including first and second telescoping members movable between contracted and extended positions and setting means for setting said first and second members in one of said positions, a first connector assembly at one end of said brace assembly adapted for removable attachment to said door frame, and a second connector assembly at the other end of said brace assembly adapted for removable attachment to one of said fixed supports;
- said second connector assembly including a first elongated rigid component attached to said brake assembly by a shaft member whose axis is perpendicular to the central axis of said brace assembly and the ends of which are supported by parallel extensions projecting from said brace assembly, a second component attached to said first elongated rigid component for rotation about a third axis mutually perpendicular to said shaft axis and a third component attached to said second component forming a clamp by which said second connector assembly may be removably attached to said fixed support.
