US 9,803,377 B2 · Height and slope adjustable pedestal

Abstract

An elevating leveling pedestal having a base rotatably attached to a first coupling end to collectively create a height adjustment mechanism, a second coupling end non-rotatably attached to a first end of a non-threaded midsection of predetermined length with a second end non-rotatably attached to a head assembly to support, secure, and level a surface installed over a non-sloping or sloping sub-surface. Another embodiment comprising a height and slope adjustable pedestal that has its tilting mechanism on the bottom of the pedestal allowing the pedestal column to remain vertical and not skewed made using a single length of unthreaded piping, the rotatable device base having minimal surface threading, and the device base able to be locked in a zero or non-zero slope for supporting a structure above a fixed surface, and the method of using such a device.
