Patent Application
20150026959
The field of the subject matter relates to construction retention devices, in particular, a device that will hold a door, window, gate, panel or other flat surface upright so that it may be painted or worked on from multiple sides at the same time, without having to wait for one side to dry in order to access any other side.
Flat panels, such as doors, windows, gates and other flat surfaces are generally time consuming and difficult to paint or perform work on, because a newly painted or stained surface must be allowed to properly dry and cure before flipping it over in order to paint the other side. Clearly, this problem presents both time and logistical constraints. In some instances, carpenters and construction workers solve this problem by using a sawhorse or propping the panel up against a wall. This temporary solution is problematic for many reasons, including the fact that the sawhorse still won't accommodate the painted or stained panel until the other corresponding side is dry, propping the panel up against a wall is sloppy and may not be safe for those walking near those walls, the newly painted or stained surface may be damaged during the transition, and there may be a lack of space around the area, thus requiring the door or panel to stay upright and secure.
In order to paint, stain or work on flat panels, the carpenter, painter or construction worker requires access to the front and back as well as the left and right side and often times, the top.
There are prior art “stands” that hold a door upright. For example, there are stands that appear to have arms or blocks that are placed in the front and back of the door in order to hold it upright. However, because of their construction, the doors and panels are not stable and the front and back surfaces are obstructed by the arms of the stands and thus they are unable to be worked on or painted properly.
Therefore, it would be ideal to provide a better way of allowing doors and other flat panels to be painted, stained and/or worked on without the time and hassle of waiting for one side to be completed.
A construction retention device comprising: a first member, a second member and an inner member; wherein the first member comprises a base and an upright; wherein the upright of the first member has at least a single holder; wherein the second member comprises a base and an upright; wherein the upright of the second member has at least a single holder; wherein the first member and the second member are connected to the inner member.
A construction retention device comprising: a first member, a second member and an inner member; wherein the first member comprises a base and an upright; wherein the upright of the first member has a plurality of holders; wherein the second member comprises a base and an upright; wherein the upright of the second member has a plurality of holders; wherein the first member has a hollow portion; wherein the second member has a hollow portion; wherein the inner member is placed within the hollow portion of the first member and hollow portion of the second member; wherein the first member and second member are moveable along the inner member.
A method of using a construction retention device having a first member, a second member and an inner member; wherein the first member comprises a base and an upright; wherein the upright of the first member has at least a single holder; wherein the second member comprises a base and an upright; wherein the upright of the second member has at least a single holder; wherein the panel is placed between the upright of the first member and the upright of the second member; wherein the at least single holder of the upright of the first member is fastened to the panel; wherein the at least single holder of the upright of the second member is fastened to the panel.
