Versatile support apparatus

A versatile support apparatus providing both large scale and fine-dimension incremental adjustability of a supported article relative to a supporting surface, said support apparatus including:

• a stud member attached to and extending from said supporting surface;
• an elongate support assembly removably securing to said stud member, said support assembly including an elongate portion defining plural regularly spaced fastener holes therethrough, and a bracket portion securing to said elongate portion and configured to supportingly engage said article;
• said support assembly further including intersecuring means for on the one hand securing to said elongate portion at any one of said plural fastener holes thereof thereby to provide said large scale incremental adjustability of incremental size equal to said regular spacing of said fastener holes, and on the other hand said intersecuring mean providing for threading interrelationship of one of said stud member and bracket with said elongate portion to provide said fine-dimension incremental adjustment by relative rotation of said elongate portion and said one of said stud member and bracket member;
• wherein said intersecuring means includes one of said stud member and said bracket member including an elongate threaded end portion, and an elongate tubular portion defining an axial threaded bore threadably receiving said threaded end portion;
• wherein said bracket member includes a respective stem portion which defines said threaded end portion;
• wherein said bracket member is of angle shape in cross section and defines a depending leg securing with a fastener to said article.
