  • Patent number: 4557086
    Abstract: A grain bin floor support system is disclosed that uses short posts, each formed by appropriately bending a piece of sheet metal into a V-shape such that the legs of the post diverge from one another and can be gripped and resiliently bent toward one another as by hand. Notches, which are cut into the top edge of the diverging legs of the post are aligned and of such a width that the outer channel of a floor panel can be gripped and accommodated in a binding fit in the two notches. A plurality of these posts are attached to the floor panel and a series of these panel and post assemblies forms a grain bin floor.
