Abstract
A support device for supporting a substantially vertical pole within an open-topped receptacle comprising a substantially vertical open-topped tube secured to a first flat plate. The first flat plate is locatable within the receptacle, and a second flat plate is locatable outside the receptacle. The two plates are secured to one another by suitable securing means such that part of the receptacle is trapped therebetween.
Claims23
A support device for supporting a substantially vertical pole in an open-topped receptacle, said support device comprising:
- (a) a first substantially flat plate locatable within said receptacle;
- (b) a second substantially flat plate locatable outside said receptacle and secured to said first substantially flat plate;
- (c) a substantially vertically open-topped tube secured to said first substantially flat plate for inserting said substantially vertical pole;
- (d) securing means for securing said first substantially flat plate to said second substantially flat plate;
- (e) a plurality of spacers for creating a gap between said second substantially flat plate and said receptacle;
- and
- (f) a plurality of stabilizing arms inserted into said gap to provide additional support for said substantially vertical pole.
The support device for supporting a substantially vertical pole in an open-topped receptacle, said support device comprising:
- (a) a first substantially flat plate locatable outside said receptacle;
- (b) a substantially vertical open-topped tube secured to said first substantially flat plate such that said open-topped tube passes through an aperture in the bottom of said receptacle;
- (c) a second substantially flat plate locatable within said receptacle and provided with an aperture to receive said open-topped tube therethrough;
- (d) securing means for securing said first substantially flat plate to said second substantially flat plate;
- (e) a plurality of spacers for creating a gap between said first substantially flat plate and said receptacle;
- and
- (f) a plurality of stabilizing arms inserted into said gap to provide additional support for said substantially vertical pole.
A support device for supporting a substantially vertical pole in an open-topped receptacle, said support device comprising:
- (a) a first substantially flat plate locatable within said receptacle and provided with an aperture;
- (b) a substantially vertical open-topped tube secured to said first substantially flat plate and located around said aperture in said first substantially flat plate;
- (c) a second substantially flat plate locatable outside said receptacle;
- (d) a cylindrical element secured to said second substantially flat plate and passing through an aperture in said receptacle and through said aperture in said first substantially flat plate, said cylindrical element being threadably engaged with a lower end of said open-topped tube, for securing said first and second substantially flat plates, thereby trapping said receptacle;
- and
- (e) an open-topped sleeve releasably secured to said open-topped tube, for inserting said pole.
