Abstract: A brace for stabilizing a vehicle is provided. The brace includes a main tube including a first end and a second end and defining at least one first set of orifices. An extension tube is disposed in the main tube from the first end and defines at least one second set of orifices. The position of the extension tube is set by selectively aligning at least one set of orifices from the first set and at least one set of orifices from the second set and inserting a fastener through the aligned orifices. A vehicle anchor is removably connected to the extension tube and a footer is removably connected to the second end of the main tube. A method for using a brace to stabilize a vehicle is also provided.

Abstract: A shoring system to support a vertical surface is provided. The shoring system includes a main frame including a first end and a second end and a first member connected to the main frame near the first end. A first length adjuster is disposed in the first member and a second member is connected to the main frame near the second end. A second length adjuster is disposed in the second member and the first length adjuster and the second length adjuster connect to a base plate. A method for shoring a vertical surface is also provided.

Abstract: A shoring system to selectively support from below an elevated, relatively horizontal surface is provided. The shoring system includes a first vertical support member, a first vertical length adjuster disposed in the first support member, a second vertical support member spaced apart from and parallel to the first support member, a second vertical length adjuster disposed in the second support member and two horizontal structural members spaced apart from and parallel to each other. The first vertical support member, first vertical length adjuster, second vertical support member and second vertical length adjuster each connect to the two horizontal structural members so as to form a rectangular configuration. A method for shoring an elevated horizontal surface is also provided.

Abstract: A foldable and portable support brace is provided for supporting masonry walls during construction. The brace includes a main frame, an optional ledge, and a support leg member. The ledge is a fold down ledge which is attached to a swinging ledge support. The support leg member includes a top section and a bottom section where the bottom section is attached to a length adjusting device. The length adjusting device has foldable periscope-type handles attached to an internally threaded fastener which rotates around a threaded screw. The threaded screw is pivotally connected to a footer base, which rests on the ground during use. The handle allows for easy lengthening and shortening of the support leg member, while also being foldable when not in use. The leg portion and ledge are collapsible into the main frame when the main frame is to be transported to another area or another site. Optionally, the main frame has an integral level.
