ABSTRACT:
A stabilizing support for mobile homes and other transportable buildings is disclosed which protects against damage caused by the building slipping off its piers in an earthquake. A base on the ground underneath the building is connected to the building frame by support arms amd a stabilizer arm. In one embodiment, the support arms are connected in the form of an X. In another embodiment, two structures are connected via the stabilizer arms. Several embodiments may be constructed from the same basic components, and adjustment can be made for the varying height of buildings. Also included is a clamp utilizing two crescent shaped jaw members coupled one to the other by means of a doubly threaded bolt which passes through holes in the two crescent shaped jaw members and spans the items being clamped. Completing the clamp is a pair of nuts which are threaded onto opposite ends of the bolt and tightened to complete the clamping action.
