  • Patent number: 8196882
    Abstract: A movable pole support includes an upper block and a lower block, each formed with a pole-receiving bore. The blocks are separated by a number of extension posts that maintain the blocks in a parallel position and spaced-apart to define a gap. The gap is sized to accept the edge of a table or counter, and the lower block is equipped with a locking screw that may be threaded into the lower block to secure the movable pole support onto a table or counter. The upper and lower blocks may be formed with a receiving groove shaped to receive a raised table rim, or a lower lip edge. A damage-resistant pad may be provided on any table-contacting surface to avoid damage to the table or counter being used. The movable pole support may also have a pole set screw insertable into the upper block to secure a pole securely within the pole-receiving bore.
