Abstract
A support for steps, having the shape of a triangular corner plate to be installed one after the other along a stringer. The sides of this support are reinforced, horizontally and vertically by a 90 degree fold, to fix the steps and risers. The ends are wider and possess a number of fixing holes to provide more stability when fixed against a stringer. The horizontal side is ended by a projecting horizontal rule. The wide part of the vertical side is flanked by vertical graduations. The horizontal rule is set against a stringer at a desired step run and the vertical graduations are set against the stringer at a desired step rise. The horizontal rule overlaps the vertical graduations of the preceding support.
Claims11
An adjustable support for steps to be fixed on a stringer having a number of steps and risers, said support comprising:
- a generally flat body defining a set-square having a vertical side (26) and a horizontal side (24),
- said horizontal side being topped by a horizontal fold (32) to fix a step thereto, said horizontal side (24) comprising an extension defining an upper wide part (28) on said horizontal side and comprising means (55′) of horizontal adjustment,
- said vertical side being topped with a vertical fold (34) to fix a riser thereto, said vertical side (26) comprising a lower wide part (30) comprising means of vertical adjustment (55),
- means for adjusting slope of said support thereby applying said slope to each said step and riser,
- said horizontal side being located above said stringer and said upper and lower wide parts being located facing said stringer in a position wherein said wide parts comprise means to tie to said stringer thereby uniting said wide parts and said stringer.
