Abstract
The present invention is used to hold sheetrock in an elevated position, while it is being secured. This device has an upper horizontal tubing platform T that comes in contact with the sheetrock. This platform is covered with a foam rubber to protect and secure the sheetrock.
The lower verticle tubing comes in contact with the floor. Where the tubing meets the floor, a rubber boot is secured. The cupling under the boot is adjustable to make up the difference in the holes in the middle tubing if needed. This unit is telescopic in the way that one tube slides over the other as it goes through a selection of holes, which choses the height of the ceiling. Also this device comes apart below the two upper support braces. By backing off the handle attachment you now have an extension handle. Also this extension handle comes apart at screw safety lock nut. Now you have two single handles. Attachments can be used on these exten-sion handles to do various other jobs such as, painting sanding, and washing windows etc. This device is a MULTI
use tool,and it can be easily disassembled and stored away for further use.

Description
21 ~3724 Backqround Of Invention Field Of Invention This invention relates to a manually operated device that holds sheetrock to the ceiling while it is being installed.
Description Of Prior Art Sheetrock installation is a job requiring more then one person. A wooden T is a device that many have used in the past and are still using today. This was made of two pieces of wood nailed together. One long vertical piece meets the shorter horizontal one in the center. This device damaged the sheetrock as well it is very awkward to use and trying to acquire the right height seemed like an endless chore.
Also there is a floor jack device for holding up sheetrock.
The device is very complicated to operate, plus big and bulky. The price is very expensive and beyond the means of the average person.
There are some devices on the market similar to mine, but they are complicated, bulky, and expensive.
Summary Of Invention I have found that my invention has overcome the disadvant-ages of the prior art.
My invention is very lightweight, but yet strong enough to hold heavy sheetrock. It is also inexpensive to manufacture. The device is easy to handle, plus you won't need a course to operate it. This device is not a dead item. When your ceiling is completed the device can be changed into an extension handle by separating the device below the upper platform braces. Now you can use this extension handle for painting, sanding, and cleaning windows etc.
Brief Description Of Drawinqs Fig. (1) It is an elevated sketch of the sheetrock device in accordance to the invention.
ig. (2) Is a sectional partially exploded view of the upper portion of Fig. (1).
ig. (3) Is a vertical sectional view of the middle section, which is the upper section of extension handle.
ig. (4) Is a vertical section view of lower sections of the device Description of The Preferred Embodiment Referring to Fig. (1), A device for holding sheetrock to the ceiling in accordance with the invention. It includes a horizontal tubing platform T (3) that comes in contact with the sheetrock, and is connected to an outer tube (6a) and inner tube (10). These tubes are vertical and telescopic in nature. The inner tube (10) is connected to the rubber boot (11).
This rubber boot (11) comes in contact with the floor.
Referring to Fig. (2), Comprises of horizontal tubing platform T (3) that comes in contact with sheetrock as shown in Fig. (1). This is covered with sponge rubber (2) which runs from end to end on the upper horizontal platform T (3). In the upper horizontal platform T (3) there are inserted plastic plugs (1) in each end.

Claims
Claims The embodiments of the invention in which an ex-clusive property or privilege is claimed are defined as follows:"
Claim (1) This is a device that will hold up sheetrock while it is being secured to the ceiling.
There is an upper horizontal platform T that is padded with foam rubber to protect the sheetrock as well as keeping it from moving around. This pad is secured with adhesive glue.
Claim (2) The device that is defined in claim (1) is telescopic. The middle tube moves up and down over the lower tube. Because it is telescopic you can chose different heights for different ceilings. While holding the lower tube press in the spring button and turn the middle section outer tube slightly. Now the spring button is riding in between the middle section outer tube and the lower tube. When desired height of ceiling is reached line up arrows that are marked on middle and lower tubing, while holding the device at a slight angle.
Now let the button go into the nearest hole while straighten up the device vertically to hold tension on the sheetrock. Now one end of the sheetrock is secured for nailing.
Claim (3) This floor engaging part of the device is tel-escopic. A rubber boot is glued to the cupling.
The cupling is threaded and it screws over the inner lower tubing which is also threaded. This telescopic boot will make up the difference between the holes in the middle tubing.
Claim (4) Now referring to claim (1) the upper horizon-tal platform T is strategicly electric welded in five places to strengthen the support syst-em.
Claim (5) The temporary support device used in enstall-ing sheetrock to the ceiling, as in claim (2) has a dual purpose which is one long extension handle or two short extension handles. The extension handle comes apart at the top of the middle tubing, which is the handle attachment nut. As exclaimed in claim (2), the extension handle can go through a series of heights by depressing the spring button. The extension handle also comes apart at the screw safety lock nut to make two shorter extension hand-les by pressing in the spring button and turning the lower inner tubing slightly and pulling downward by backing off the safety lock nut.
When your job is completed, Your MULTI-T
device can be disassembled and put away for further use.
