Abstract:
A support apparatus for engagement between a pair of spaced support surfaces, comprising:a longitudinally extended first tube (10) having a first end (11) and an opposing second end (12); a longitudinally extended second tube (20) having a first end (21) and an opposing second end (22), the first end (21) of the second tube (20) being pivotally connected with the second end (12) of the first tube (10), the second end (22) of the second tube (20) having a first abutment element (24) secured thereto; a first positioning device (23) for locking the second tube (20) in a longitudinal in-line position relative to the first tube (10); a longitudinally extended rod (30) having a first end (31) and an opposing second end (32), the first end (31) of the rod (30) having a second abutment element (34) secured thereto, the second end (32) of the rod (30) being telescopically connected with the first end (11) of the first tube (10); and, a second positioning device for locking the rod (30) in position relative to the first tube (10), wherein the second abutment element (34) is positioned to abut one support surface and the second tube (20) is pivoted to the locking position to bring the first abutment element (24) into tight engagement with the other support surface.
