The invention relates to a support for articles such as ceiling slabs, roof battens, machine parts or the like. The support comprises at least two telescopic tubes or one telescopic eod in at least one tube. A first tube or the rod can be displaced by a first distance in relation to the second tube, and devices are provided to convey the first tube or the rod a further distance in relation to the second tube. Stopping devices for the tube(s) and the rod are also provided in relation to each othe...

The disclosure relates to a support such as a soil-supported post having a chisel-like end and stabilizing fins angularly disposed relative to the chisel-like end. A ribbed frusto-conical portion is connected to the post and readily permits entry thereof into the ground but resists removal therefrom as well as twisting therein. The post includes water storage means for preventing over saturation of adjacent soil and for providing moisture thereto when said soil is too dry.

A support apparatus (10) for providing a robust load bearing support for screed rails (12) during the laying of concrete in which the height of the screed rails can be accurately adjusted and supported so as to allow the screed rails to be used for carrying concrete levelling devices such as a roller beam levelling device consists of a ground engaging base block (14), a first member (22) releasably connected at its lower end to the base block and a support member (28) releasably connected to the...

A support including a support pipe having a pair of elongated holes formed therein, a support ring, an insertion pipe having plural pairs of pin holes formed therein, and a support pin. The support ring includes a main support ring member having an internal thread formed in the inner peripheral portion thereof and an upper support ring member rotatably coupled to the upper end portion of the main support ring member via an upper thrust bearing.

A supporting member is constructed to simultaneously support a wrist and a portion of an arm of the user. A supporting member bearing structure connects the platform with the supporting member such that the supporting member is multi-directi...

A support is designed to receive an operation microscope. This support has a support column, movable around a rotation axis, with a first carrier arm and a second carrier arm which, with respect to the first carrier arm, can be moved around a first pivot axis and a second pivot axis. A cable connection is provided for producing a restoring force for the second carrier arm, and couples the second carrier arm to a counterweight for producing a restoring force around the second pivot axis. The coun...
