    Abstract: The present invention provides a supporting structure of a maintenance platform. The maintenance platform includes a main plate, a supporting module, a plurality of supporting plates, and a plurality of transverse rods. The main plate is provided on the supporting module. The transverse rods penetrate the main plate in a transverse direction. The transverse rods allow the supporting plates to be connected to both sides of the main plate. With the transverse rods penetrating the main plate in a transverse direction, the supporting strength of the maintenance platform is increased, and the undesired break or bend of the supporting plate is reduced.

  • Patent number: 8347811
    Abstract: A system is provided that is capable of supporting an object during application of surface coating that would enable access to multiple surfaces of the object while minimizing the impact on any surface that has not dried. The system provides stable support for the object during the application process and allows the coatings of all surfaces to dry with minimal effect on the coated surface. The system comprises a plurality of support units. Each support unit comprises a base portion and a contact portion. Each base portion is adapted to rest stably upon a work platform and contact portion is adapted to contact an underside of the object during application of surface coating. The plurality of support units together supports the object above the work platform.
