Mold Prevention Nautical Furniture Lift

Abstract

A system and method of mounting nautical furniture to prevent mold accumulation on the marine flooring. A lift with a flat upper surface and a ridged lower surface is placed between the furniture before the furniture is secured to the decking.

We claim: 
     
         1 . A method of lifting marine furniture off a boat's flooring, the method comprising:
 a. manufacturing a ridge lift comprising a body of material with a ridge lift flat furniture surface and a contralateral ridge lift flooring surface;   b. attaching said ridge lift flat furniture surface of said ridge lift to a furniture frame of a marine furniture;   c. placing said marine furniture on a boat's flooring with said ridge lift flooring surface opposing the flooring;   d. securing said marine furniture to a boat's deck with a self-drilling fastener positioned through the furniture frame, ridge lift, flooring and deck.   
     
     
         2 . A method of  claim 1 , wherein said ridge lift flooring surface is a single tread. 
     
     
         3 . A method of  claim 1 , wherein said ridge lift flooring surface is an alternating ridge tread. 
     
     
         4 . A method of lifting marine furniture off a boat's flooring, the method comprising:
 a. manufacturing a ridge lift comprising a body of material with a ridge lift flat furniture surface and a contralateral ridge lift flooring surface;   b. manufacturing a hole in said ridge lift;   c. drilling a hole through a furniture frame, flooring and deck;   d. attaching said ridge lift flat furniture surface of said ridge lift to a furniture frame of a marine furniture;   e. placing said marine furniture on a boat's flooring with said ridge lift flooring surface opposing the flooring;   f. securing said marine furniture to a boat's deck with a fastening mechanism positioned through the furniture frame, ridge lift, flooring and deck.   
     
     
         5 . A method of  claim 4 , wherein said hole in said ridge lift is drilled. 
     
     
         6 . A method of  claim 4 , wherein said ridge lift flooring surface is a single tread. 
     
     
         7 . A method of  claim 4 , wherein said ridge lift flooring surface is an alternating ridge tread. 
     
     
         8 . A method of  claim 4 , wherein said fastening mechanism is a nut-and-bolt combination. 
     
     
         9 . A method of  claim 4 , wherein said fastening mechanism is a lag screw. 
     
     
         10 . A method of lifting marine furniture off a boat's flooring, the method comprising:
 a. manufacturing a ridge lift comprising a body of material with a ridge lift flat furniture surface and a contralateral ridge lift flooring surface;   b. attaching said ridge lift flat furniture surface of said ridge lift to a furniture frame of a marine furniture;   c. placing said marine furniture on a boat's flooring with said ridge lift flooring surface opposing the flooring;   d. securing said marine furniture to a boat's deck with a fastening mechanism positioned through the furniture frame, flooring and deck.   
     
     
         11 . A method of  claim 10 , wherein said ridge lift flooring surface is a single tread. 
     
     
         12 . A method of  claim 10 , wherein said ridge lift flooring surface is an alternating ridge tread. 
     
     
         13 . A method of  claim 10 , wherein said fastening mechanism is a self-drilling fastener. 
     
     
         14 . A method of  claim 10 , wherein said fastening mechanism is a nut-and-bolt combination. 
     
     
         15 . A method of  claim 10  wherein said fastening mechanism is a lag screw.
