Abstract
A support assembly is composed of three elongate substantially rigid members which may be releasably interconnected by connectors to form a triangular support structure. The rigid members when disconnected from the support bracket configuration are constructed to be assembled in a nested configuration and connected together in such nested configuration for compact carrying and storage. An extensible gambrel for use with the support bracket in its operative condition also is constructed to be attached to the nested members for convenient carrying and storage.
Claims13
A support assembly comprising three elongate substantially rigid members and connectors releasably interconnecting said members to form a triangular support bracket, said members upon release of said connectors being constructed to nest within each other to provide a compact assemblage of parts, two of said members comprising channel-shaped members, each having a pair of opposed side rails and a joining web, which members may be placed in face-to-face orientation with side rails thereof overlapping to form a pocket therebetween of a first cross sectional size, and the third member having a smaller cross sectional size than said pocket to be received in said pocket.
A support assembly comprising three elongate substantially rigid members having bores extending therethrough and connector pins releasably extending through said bores to releasably interconnect said members to form a triangular support bracket, said members upon release of said connectors being constructed to nest within each other to provide a compact nested assemblage of parts, selected bores in said members being similarly spaced apart in all three members to align when the members are placed in their nested assemblage to allow pins to be inserted therethrough to interconnect said members in their nested assemblage.
A support assembly comprising three elongate substantially rigid members having bores extending therethrough and connector pins releasably extending through said bores to releasably interconnect said members to form a triangular support bracket, two of said members when in their assembled configuration having end portions overlapping each other with aligned bores extending therethrough and one of said pins extending through said bores, and remainder portions of said two members being disposed at a substantial angle relative to each other, each member having a second bore extending therethrough in a region spaced from said pin-connected end portions, and the third of said members having end bores extending therethrough adjacent its opposite ends and being positioned at an angle relative to and extending between said first two members with its end bores aligned with said second bores in said first two members, with certain of said connector pins extending through said second bores and end bores to interconnect the three members in a triangular configuration, said members upon release of said connector pins being constructed to nest within each other to provide a compact nested assemblage of parts.
A support assembly comprising three elongate substantially rigid members and connectors releasably interconnecting said members to form a triangular support racket, said members upon release of said connectors being constructed to nest within each other to provide a compact nested assemblage of parts, a telescopically extensible gambrel and means suspending said gambrel from said support bracket.
A support assembly comprising three elongate substantially rigid members and connectors releasably interconnecting said members to form a triangular support racket, said members upon release of said connectors being constructed to nest within each other to provide a compact assemblage of parts, with a first one of said members having an elongate channel pocket defined in and extending longitudinally thereof having a first side-to-side dimension, and said other members having smaller side-to-side dimensions than said first dimension permitting them to be received in said pocket in positions extending parallel to said one member.
