Remote control car support apparatus

The remote control car support apparatus supports a remote control (RC) car. The height of the apparatus can be adjusted for a total height of up to 16 inches. The length of the apparatus can be adjusted to accommodate various sizes of RC cars, from about 1/10th scale to about ⅕th scale, with an overall length adjustable up to about 27 inches. The apparatus features a total width of about 12 inches so that an RC car is not likely to tumble over when held. The apparatus provides for a full 360 degrees of rotation of a car, with the rotation locked in position as chosen. With these features, all facets of an RC car are accessible, allowing a hobbyist to work on the car as chosen. The plurality of mount holes in the adjustably positioned mounts allow for a car to be held to the apparatus as chosen.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Remote control cars are enjoyed by many. The 1/10thto ⅕thscale cars are typically quite complex. Most hobbyists work on them, whether during assembly or maintenance, for repairs, or just changing parts. In the past, either the cars were held in one hand while worked on with the other, or placed upon a surface while worked on. Barring either of these actions, a second person was often needed to hold a car. None of these methods is satisfactory. The present apparatus provides a support stand that adjusts for car size, car support height, and rotates so that even the underside of the car is accessible

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The remote control car support apparatus relates to remote control cars and more especially to a support apparatus that adjusts for car size, adjusts for height placement of the car, and provides for a full 360 degrees of car rotation.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The general purpose of the remote control car support apparatus, described subsequently in greater detail, is to provide a remote control car support apparatus which has many novel features that result in an improved remote control car support apparatus which is not anticipated, rendered obvious, suggested, or even implied by prior art, either alone or in combination thereof.

To attain this, the remote control car support apparatus supports a remote control (RC) car. The height of the apparatus can be adjusted for a total height of up to 16 inches. The length of the apparatus can be adjusted to accommodate various sizes of RC cars, from about 1/10thscale to about ⅕thscale, with an overall length adjustable up to 27 inches. The apparatus features a total width of about 12 inches so that an RC car is not likely to tumble over when held. The apparatus provides for a full 360 degrees of rotation of a car, with the rotation locked in position as chosen. With these features, all facets of an RC car are accessible, allowing a hobbyist to work on the car as chosen. The plurality of mount holes in the adjustably positioned mounts allow for a car to be held to the apparatus as chosen.

An object of the remote control car support apparatus is to support a remote control car.

Another object of the remote control car support apparatus is to adjust to fit various sizes of remote control cars.

A further object of the remote control car support apparatus is to adjustably position the height at which a remote control car is supported.

An added object of the remote control car support apparatus is to provide rotation of the supported remote control car.

These together with additional objects, features and advantages of the improved remote control car support apparatus will be readily apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art upon reading the following detailed description of presently preferred, but nonetheless illustrative, embodiments of the improved remote control car support apparatus when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

In this respect, before explaining the current embodiments of the improved remote control car support apparatus in detail, it is to be understood that the remote control car support apparatus is not limited in its application to the details of construction and arrangements of the components set forth in the following description or illustration. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the concept of this disclosure may be readily utilized as a basis for the design of other structures, methods, and systems for carrying out the several purposes of the improved remote control car support apparatus. It is therefore important that the claims be regarded as including such equivalent constructions insofar as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the remote control car support apparatus. It is also to be understood that the phraseology and terminology employed herein are for purposes of description and should not be regarded as limiting.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

With reference now to the drawings, and in particularFIGS. 1 through 5thereof, the principles and concepts of the remote control car support apparatus generally designated by the reference number10will be described.

Referring toFIGS. 3,4and5, the apparatus10comprises a length23adjustable to about 27 inches, a width25of about 12 inches, and a height29adjustable up to about 16 inches.

Referring toFIGS. 1 and 2, the apparatus10further comprises a pair of identical stands20. Each stand20partially comprises a leg22. The longitudinal member24is perpendicularly extended from the center21of the leg22. The female upright28is extended upwardly from the leg22center21.

Continuing to refer toFIGS. 1 and 2and referring also toFIG. 3, the male upright30is slideably disposed within the female upright28. The position of the male upright30is adjustably established by the lock bolt26. The slotted plate40is pivotally held to the female upright28via the pivot bolt44. Loosening the pivot bolt44allows the slotted plate to be rotated a full 360 degrees, thereby rotating an RC car12as desired. Tightening the pivot bolt44locks the slotted plate40into a chosen position. The pair of identical horizontal mounts50is adjustably held to the slotted plate40, each mount held by a wing nut and bolt52. Each mount50has a plurality of spaced apart mount holes54so that a car12can be held to each mount50as chosen.

The center member27is slideably disposed within the longitudinal member24of each stand20. The apparatus10length23is adjustably established by a lock bolt26within each longitudinal member24.
