摘要 | The remote control car support apparatus supports a remote control (RC) car. The height of the apparatus can be adjusted for a total height of up to 16 inches. The length of the apparatus can be adjusted to accommodate various sizes of RC cars, from about 1/10th scale to about ⅕th scale, with an overall length adjustable up to about 27 inches. The apparatus features a total width of about 12 inches so that an RC car is not likely to tumble over when held. The apparatus provides for a full 360 degrees of rotation of a car, with the rotation locked in position as chosen. With these features, all facets of an RC car are accessible, allowing a hobbyist to work on the car as chosen. The plurality of mount holes in the adjustably positioned mounts allow for a car to be held to the apparatus as chosen. | ||||||

说明书全文 | Not Applicable Not Applicable Not Applicable Remote control cars are enjoyed by many. The 1/10th to ⅕th scale cars are typically quite complex. Most hobbyists work on them, whether during assembly or maintenance, for repairs, or just changing parts. In the past, either the cars were held in one hand while worked on with the other, or placed upon a surface while worked on. Barring either of these actions, a second person was often needed to hold a car. None of these methods is satisfactory. The present apparatus provides a support stand that adjusts for car size, car support height, and rotates so that even the underside of the car is accessible The remote control car support apparatus relates to remote control cars and more especially to a support apparatus that adjusts for car size, adjusts for height placement of the car, and provides for a full 360 degrees of car rotation. The general purpose of the remote control car support apparatus, described subsequently in greater detail, is to provide a remote control car support apparatus which has many novel features that result in an improved remote control car support apparatus which is not anticipated, rendered obvious, suggested, or even implied by prior art, either alone or in combination thereof. To attain this, the remote control car support apparatus supports a remote control (RC) car. The height of the apparatus can be adjusted for a total height of up to 16 inches. The length of the apparatus can be adjusted to accommodate various sizes of RC cars, from about 1/10th scale to about ⅕th scale, with an overall length adjustable up to 27 inches. The apparatus features a total width of about 12 inches so that an RC car is not likely to tumble over when held. The apparatus provides for a full 360 degrees of rotation of a car, with the rotation locked in position as chosen. With these features, all facets of an RC car are accessible, allowing a hobbyist to work on the car as chosen. The plurality of mount holes in the adjustably positioned mounts allow for a car to be held to the apparatus as chosen. Thus has been broadly outlined the more important features of the improved remote control car support apparatus so that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. An object of the remote control car support apparatus is to support a remote control car. Another object of the remote control car support apparatus is to adjust to fit various sizes of remote control cars. A further object of the remote control car support apparatus is to adjustably position the height at which a remote control car is supported. An added object of the remote control car support apparatus is to provide rotation of the supported remote control car. These together with additional objects, features and advantages of the improved remote control car support apparatus will be readily apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art upon reading the following detailed description of presently preferred, but nonetheless illustrative, embodiments of the improved remote control car support apparatus when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In this respect, before explaining the current embodiments of the improved remote control car support apparatus in detail, it is to be understood that the remote control car support apparatus is not limited in its application to the details of construction and arrangements of the components set forth in the following description or illustration. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the concept of this disclosure may be readily utilized as a basis for the design of other structures, methods, and systems for carrying out the several purposes of the improved remote control car support apparatus. It is therefore important that the claims be regarded as including such equivalent constructions insofar as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the remote control car support apparatus. It is also to be understood that the phraseology and terminology employed herein are for purposes of description and should not be regarded as limiting. With reference now to the drawings, and in particular Referring to Referring to Continuing to refer to The center member 27 is slideably disposed within the longitudinal member 24 of each stand 20. The apparatus 10 length 23 is adjustably established by a lock bolt 26 within each longitudinal member 24. With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of the remote control car support apparatus, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and the manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by the remote control car support apparatus. Directional terms such as “front”, “back”, “in”, “out”, “downward”, “upper”, “lower”, and the like may have been used in the description. These terms are applicable to the embodiments shown and described in conjunction with the drawings. These terms are merely used for the purpose of description in connection with the drawings and do not necessarily apply to the position in which the remote control car support apparatus may be used. Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the remote control car support apparatus. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the remote control car support apparatus to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the remote control car support apparatus. |
