Patent ID: 7793401

Claim:
A method for installing sheeting goods using a sheeting goods installation support system, the sheeting goods installation support including a first elongated beam, a second elongated beam wherein the first beam and the second beam are pivotally connected by a central articulation bracket, the central articulation bracket, including: a first set of hinged wings mounted on the first beam; a second set of hinged wings mounted on the second beam which interconnect with the first set of hinged wings to form a pivot point through which the central articulation bracket pivotally operates; a first internal stop associated with the first set of hinged wings; a second internal stop associated with the second set of hinged wings which cooperates with the first internal stop to prevent the central articulation bracket from pivotal operation beyond the point wherein the first stop and the second stop engageably cooperate and with the first stop and the second stop in engaged cooperation the first elongated beam and the second elongated beam operate in unison for leverage and manipulation of the installation support system as an essentially linear span; and an end articulation bracket mounted on one of the beams' end opposed from the first and second sets of hinged wings, the end articulation bracket including a threaded clamp assembly, the method comprising the steps of: attaching the end articulation bracket to a support member using the threaded clamp assembly, wherein the end articulation bracket is connected to the first elongated beam; placing a sheeting good upon the first elongated beam anterior to the end articulation bracket; lifting said sheeting good proximate to the end articulation bracket and temporarily securing the sheeting good with the second elongated beam; adjusting said sheeting good in a final position proximate to the support member; securing permanently said sheeting good to the support member; and removing said sheeting goods installation support from the support member.
