Abstract
A support device selectively disposed between a floor surface and a lower surface of distal end of a cantilever toilet in which a base defines a surface oriented at an oblique angle relative to a horizontal plane and with a guide rail attached to an upper portion of the base substantially parallel to the upper surface. A traveler operatively engaged to the guide member moves on the upper surface for selective positioning to bear against a lower surface of a cantilever toilet. A method of supporting a cantilever toilet is disclosed.

A support for being disposed between a floor surface and a lower surface of distal end of a cantilever toilet bowl attached at one end to a wall and extending therefrom, comprising:
- a base defining a surface disposed at an oblique angle relative to horizontal;
- a guide rail attached to an upper portion of the base member substantially parallel to the upper surface;
- a traveler operatively engaged to the guide member and movable on the upper surface for positioning at a selected position to bear against a lower surface of a cantilever toilet bowl.
A support for being disposed between a floor surface and a lower surface of distal end of a cantilever toilet bowl attached at one end to a wall and extending therefrom, comprising:
- a base defining a travel surface oriented at an oblique angle relative to a horizontal plane;
- a traveler movable on the travel surface for selective positioning to contact a bearing surface thereof against a lower surface of a cantilever toilet bowl, the movement of the traveler on the travel surface moving the bearing surface relative to the base;
- a guider associated with the travel surface for guiding the movement of the traveler on the travel surface relative to the base;
- and
- a holding member to secure the traveler in the selected position.
A method for supporting a distal end of a cantilever toilet bowl attached at one end to a wall and extending therefrom, comprising the steps of:
- (a) placing a base under a distal end of a cantilever toilet bowl, the base defining a surface oriented at an oblique angle relative to a horizontal plane and having a guide rail attached to an upper portion of the base substantially parallel to the upper surface;
- (b) moving a traveler operatively engaged to the guide member on the surface to a position such that a contact surface of the traveler bears against a lower surface of the cantilever toilet bowl;
- and
- (c) fixing the traveler in the selected position.
A support for being disposed between a floor surface and a lower surface of distal end of a cantilever toilet bowl attached at one end to a wall and extending therefrom, comprising:
- a base defining a travel surface oriented at an oblique angle relative to a horizontal plane;
- a traveler positioned on the travel surface and movable relative to the base for selective positioning to contact a bearing surface thereof against a lower surface of a cantilever toilet bowl;
- and
- a holder to secure the traveler in the selected position.
