ABSTRACT:
A versatile support apparatus and method primarily for use aboard ships includes a stud welded to an overhead deck plate or to a vertical bulkhead or side wall of the ship. Securing to the stud and extending to the article supported is an elongate support assembly including a bracket portion supportingly engaging the article. The support assembly includes a bolted joint providing for large scale adjustment of the length of the support assembly, and of the position of the article supported. Also, the support assembly includes a threaded join providing fine-dimension adjustment of the support assembly. The support assembly is of simplified construction, is economical to make and install, maintains its large scale and fine-dimension adjustments once installed, allows easier maintenance of suspended articles in the usually crowded shipboard environment, and is very versatile in its application. Consequently, the support apparatus and method of the present invention reduces construction and maintenance costs for ships.
