ABSTRACT:
A drywall support device for the temporary support of drywall, such as for ceiling installation, during installation. This device is a small and compact device having a piercing end, a supporting tongue, and a striking end. The piercing end and the striking end are opposite one another and essentially in the same plane which is transverse to the plane in which the supporting tongue lies. The drywall support device has the piercing end merely driven substantially perpendicular into a ceiling joist by striking the striking end with a hammer. The tongue supports one end of the drywall sheet while the installer secures the opposite end working towards the support devices. Once the entire sheet is secured, the drywall support devices are removed and reused in the installation of the next sheet. The drywall support device is also useful for installing drywall sheets on walls with ceilings above standard height, such as in old homes where ceiling may be over eight feet or in homes with cathedral ceilings.
