Abstract: A support base is made of metal by die casting for supporting heavy articles above for example ground or floor, and includes a rectangular flat grid plate having four corners from which pillars extend. Intermediate pillars extend from middle positions of long edge faces of the rectangle and a center pillar extends from a center of the rectangle. The rectangular grid plate has opposite end edges on which tenons and mortises are formed respectively and opposite side edges on which tenons and mortises are formed respectively so that a plurality of support bases can be connected together by the tenon-and-mortise coupling between adjacent support bases to expand a covering area of the support bases.
