  • Patent number: 10875560
    Abstract: A height adjustable plumber's support includes an elongated board having top and bottom major surfaces that extend from a proximal end to a distal end of the elongated board, a cushioned pad covering a central region of the top major surface, a head pad covering the top major surface adjacent the distal end of the elongated board, a foot pad covering the top major surface adjacent the proximal end of the elongated board, and a pair of flexible handles secured to opposite lateral sides of the elongated board. The height adjustable plumber's support includes a foldable support leg secured to the proximal end of the elongated board. The foldable support leg has a vertical section and a horizontally extending section. The foldable support leg is height adjustable for adjusting the height of the proximal end of the elongated board over a floor surface, such as when the distal end of the elongated board is inserted into a cabinet having an elevated base.

  • Patent number: 9486914
    Abstract: A plumber's creeper includes a lower body support having an inner frame with wheels and an outer frame telescopically received over the inner frame. The outer frame slides telescopically over the inner frame for adjusting the height of the lower body support. A height adjustment element coupled with the outer frame has a locked position for preventing height adjustment and an unlocked position for enabling sliding telescopic movement of the outer frame relative to the inner frame for adjusting the height of the lower body support. An upper body support is connected with the lower body support via a hinge that enables the upper body support to be folded over the lower body support. The plumber's creeper has an unfolded configuration in which the top surface of the upper body support and the top surface of the lower body support lie in a common plane.
