ABSTRACT:
A hollow support column raises from a floor pad and terminates in an adjustable shaft within the top of the column which in turn supports articulated ceiling thrust arms. The arms diverge from the axis of the column and are padded for contact with the ceiling. Preferably three arms are used and their articulation adapts to use near corners and vertical walls and against uneven ceilings. A lock collar positions the thrust arms above the column for compression fastening between the floor and ceiling. A plurality of fastener bands is fixed to the outside of the column. The bands are pierced to receive pairs of fastener pegs on each of a plurality of support arms which cantilever outwardly from the post. The arms may support a variety of objects such as plants, artistic mobiles, tables, hydroponic planters and other objects of some considerable mass since the ceiling thrust arms establish a force triangle with the floor pad as the apex, greatly increasing the capacity of the pole to support weight displaced from the vertical axis of the pole.
