Abstract
Abstract A method for preparing and an apparatus for supporting appliances thereon, the support being a base member with means on the top side thereof for mounting an object thereto. The base member is comprised of a conduit member having disposed at preselected portions therein hollow inserts arranged with axes at right angles to the axis of the conduit member and surrounded by resilient foam materials which maintains the base member in a preselected configuration to support the object mounted thereto.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim
123 words
A support for an object comprising: at least one conduit base member with means on the top side thereof for mounting an object thereon; said conduit member having disposed at preselected positions therein inserts with an opening therethrough, the axes of the opening and the conduit member being at right angles to one another; a resilient foam material substantially enclosing the inserts, said resilient foam material being affixed to the inner surface of said conduit member and serving to maintain said conduit member in a preselected configuration and prevent movement of the insert when an object is mounted onto said conduit member; and, flat solid plate members disposed between said inserts and an inner surface of said conduit member and adhesively secured thereto.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
123 words
A support for an object comprising: at least one conduit base member with means on the top side thereof for mounting an object thereon; said conduit member having disposed at preselected positions therein inserts with an opening therethrough, the axes of the opening and the conduit member being at right angles to one another; a resilient foam material substantially enclosing the inserts, said resilient foam material being affixed to the inner surface of said conduit member and serving to maintain said conduit member in a preselected configuration and prevent movement of the insert when an object is mounted onto said conduit member; and, flat solid plate members disposed between said inserts and an inner surface of said conduit member and adhesively secured thereto.
