STAND FOR ONE OR MORE VEHICLE PARTS

摘要

A stand for receiving an object, e.g., an automobile panel, may include a base support configured to engage a ground surface, an upright support extending upward from the base support, and one or more object coupling apparatus. For example, the object coupling apparatus may include an upper support element coupled to the upright support that provides an elongate support element elevated above the ground surface and one or more various arms movable along the elongate support element that couple to the object.

主权项

1. A stand for receiving one or more objects comprising:
a base support configured to engage a ground surface; an upright support extending upward from the base support; and one or more object coupling apparatus, wherein each object coupling apparatus comprises: an upper support element coupled to the upright support, wherein the upper support element comprises an elongate support element elevated above the ground surface; first and second support arms movable along the elongate support element elevated above the ground surface, wherein the first support arm comprises at least an arm element terminating a distance from the elongate support element at a coupling element usable to couple the first support arm to a first portion of an object of the one or more objects and wherein the second support arm comprises at least an arm element terminating a distance from the elongate support element at a coupling element usable to couple the second support arm to a second portion of the object; and a drop support arm apparatus movable along the elongate support element, wherein the drop support arm apparatus comprises a drop arm portion extending in a direction downward toward the ground surface from the elevated elongate support element and a distal coupling element movable to various positions at one or more elevations above the ground surface that are less than an elevation of the coupling element of either the first and second support arms, the distal coupling element being usable to couple the drop support arm apparatus to a third portion of the object.
