Abstract
A Manufactured Building Adjustable Leveling and Support Device is a fabricated metallic structure attached by means to a non-metallic base or footing characterized by wood, composite plastic materials, concrete or mortar, which devise, when used individually or in conjunction with other identical devices or unrelated devices or structures, provides an adjustable means of leveling and supporting the mainframe chassis of any manufactured building whose mainframe consists of one or more mainframe beams characterized by metallic 'I' beams, 'C' channel or other such structural shapes running the length or width of the building. Said device consists of a fabricated base structure consisting of a center tube supported on its outside by a number of legs sufficient to support said center tube against anticipated vertical, horizontal and lateral stress loads, a vertical support member of varying lengths which is inserted inside the center support tube and has at its top a means of attachment of a support head or support clamp, a means of 'shimming' or adjusting the length of said vertical support member, and an adjustable support head or clamp which attaches by means to the vertical support member and which head or clamp comes directly in contact with and/or attaches to the mainframe of the manufactured building being leveled with and/or supported by the Manufactured Building Adjustable Leveling and Support Device. When installed, the device can act as (a) a temporary leveling device, (b) a permanent support device used in conjunction with other unrelated support devices or structures, or (3) when used in conjunction with other identical devices, can form the entire temporary or permanent foundation for the manufactured building.
