Adjustable slide stand

Abstract

A stand for aiding in the transfer of drywall sheets from a delivery vehicle through the entranceway of a building or house. The stand has four individually adjustable legs. A platform is positioned at the top of the stand for providing support for the drywall sheets. A pad is removably disposed on the upper face of the platform. The pad provides a surface having a low coefficient of friction so that drywall sheets may easily slide thereover.

1 . An adjustable stand comprising: 
 a platform, said platform having a planar upper surface and a planar under surface;    a plurality of hollow leg members, each hollow leg member having an upper end and a lower end, wherein each said upper end is attached to the under surface of said platform;    a respective foot member telescopically disposed in each of said hollow leg members; and    a pad member removably attached to said upper planar surface of said platform.    
   
   
       2 . The adjustable stand according to  claim 1 , wherein each foot member extends from the lower end of a respective leg member.  
   
   
       3 . The adjustable stand according to  claim 1 , wherein said pad member has a U-shaped configuration.  
   
   
       4 . The adjustable stand according to  claim 1 , including aligned apertures formed in each leg member.  
   
   
       5 . The adjustable stand according to  claim 1 , including at least two vertically spaced holes formed through each foot member.  
   
   
       6 . An adjustable stand comprising: 
 a platform, said platform having a planar upper surface and a planar under surface, said planar upper surface having a first coefficient of friction;    a plurality of hollow leg members, each hollow leg member having an upper end and a lower end, wherein each said upper end is attached to the under surface of said platform;    a respective foot member telescopically disposed in each of said hollow leg members; and    a pad member removably attached to said upper planar surface of said platform, wherein said pad member has a second coefficient of friction lower than said first coefficient of friction.    
   
   
       7 . The adjustable stand according to  claim 6 , wherein each foot member extends from the lower end of a respective leg member.  
   
   
       8 . The adjustable stand according to  claim 6 , wherein said pad member has a U-shaped configuration.  
   
   
       9 . The adjustable stand according to  claim 6 , including aligned apertures formed in each leg member.  
   
   
       10 . The adjustable stand according to  claim 9 , including at least two vertically spaced holes formed through each foot member.  
   
   
       11 . The adjustable stand according to  claim 10 , including a respective pin for each leg member, each pin constructed for insertion through said aligned apertures in a respective leg member and one of said holes in a respective foot member.  
   
   
       12 . The adjustable stand according to  claim 11 , wherein there are four leg members and four foot members.  
   
   
       13 . An adjustable stand comprising: 
 a platform, said platform having a planar upper surface and a planar under surface, said planar upper surface having a first coefficient of friction;    a plurality of hollow leg members, each hollow leg member having an upper end and a lower end, wherein each said upper end is attached to the under surface of said platform;    a respective foot member telescopically disposed in each of said hollow leg members, each respective foot member extending from the lower end of a respective leg member; and    a U-shaped pad member removably attached to said upper planar surface of said platform, wherein said U-shaped pad member has a second coefficient of friction lower than said first coefficient of friction.    
   
   
       14 . The adjustable stand according to  claim 13 , including aligned apertures formed in each leg member.  
   
   
       15 . The adjustable stand according to  claim 14 , including at least two vertically spaced holes formed through each foot member.  
   
   
       16 . The adjustable stand according to  claim 15 , including a respective pin for each leg member, each pin constructed for insertion through said aligned apertures in a respective leg member and one of said holes in a respective foot member.  
   
   
       17 . The adjustable stand according to  claim 16 , wherein there are four leg members and four foot members.
