  • Cabinet installation device
    Patent number: 9188277
    Abstract: A method for installing objects such as cabinets on a vertical surface such as a wall includes the use of a novel support device having an adjustable leg and an upper portion including two vertically spaced support surfaces. Two of the support devices are first placed at a selected height at an angle to the wall for initially supporting the object on a first support surface. The support devices are then sequentially moved to extend between a front portion of the object and the floor so that the object rests on the second support surface thus freeing both hands of the installer.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 1, 2012
    Date of Patent: November 17, 2015
