Abstract

A support device for a vehicle includes a support foot configured to place on a base and a support unit connected to the support foot. The support unit includes a tubular support element. The support foot includes a plate-shaped bearing element. The plate-shaped bearing element includes an engagement contour on at least one outer face, a support unit of another support device being attachable to said engagement contour in order to secure against a lateral displacement.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A support arrangement for a vehicle comprising:
a first support device, comprising:
a support foot configured to place on a base; and
a first support unit connected to the support foot;
wherein the first support unit comprises a first tubular support element;
wherein the support foot comprises a plate-shaped bearing element;
wherein the plate-shaped bearing element includes an engagement contour on at least one outer face;

a second support device comprising:
a second support unit engaging the engagement contour of the bearing element to secure against a lateral displacement;

wherein the engagement contour is configured and dimensioned to attach and/or accommodate the second support unit configured similar to the first support unit;
wherein the engagement contour has a recess in the plate-shaped bearing element, in which the second support unit of the second support device engages; and
wherein the recess has a stepped contour, forming at least two recess areas for accommodating differently configured and/or dimensioned support units.

2. The support arrangement of claim 1 , wherein the engagement contour has an engagement element for engaging into a cavity of the second support unit.

3. The support arrangement of claim 2 , wherein the engagement contour is configured and dimensioned to attach and/or accommodate the second support element and/or a mounting plate of the second support device, and wherein the second support element is tubular.

4. The support arrangement of claim 3 , wherein the engagement contour is configured on an outer face of the plate-shaped bearing element, which outer face runs transverse to a swivel axis, along which the support foot is pivotably mounted on the second support unit.

5. The support arrangement of claim 4 , wherein the engagement contour is configured on an outer face of the bearing element, which outer face runs transverse to outer faces or outer edges provided with a rolling area.

6. The support arrangement of claim 5 , wherein the plate-shaped bearing element has at least two engagement contours formed on opposite outer faces of the plate-shaped bearing element.

7. The support arrangement of claim 1 , wherein the engagement contour has an engagement element for engaging into a cavity of the second support unit.

8. The support arrangement of claim 1 , wherein the engagement contour is configured and dimensioned to attach and/or accommodate the second support element and/or a mounting plate of the second support device, and wherein the second support element is tubular.

9. The support arrangement of claim 1 , wherein the engagement contour is configured on an outer face of the plate-shaped bearing element, which outer face runs transverse to a swivel axis, along which the support foot is pivotably mounted on the second support unit.

10. The support arrangement of claim 1 , wherein the engagement contour is configured on an outer face of the bearing element, which outer face runs transverse to outer faces or outer edges provided with a rolling area.

11. The support arrangement of claim 1 , wherein the plate-shaped bearing element has at least two engagement contours formed on opposite outer faces of the plate-shaped bearing element.

12. A support arrangement for a vehicle comprising:
a first support device, comprising:
a support foot configured to place on a base; and
a first support unit connected to the support foot;
wherein the first support unit comprises a first tubular support element;
wherein the support foot comprises a plate-shaped bearing element;
wherein the plate-shaped bearing element includes an engagement contour on at least one outer face;

a second support device comprising:
a second support unit engaging the engagement contour of the bearing element to secure against a lateral displacement;

wherein the engagement contour is configured and dimensioned to attach and/or accommodate the second support unit configured similar to the first support unit;
wherein the engagement contour is configured and dimensioned to attach and/or accommodate the second support element and/or a mounting plate of the second support device, and wherein the second support element is tubular; and
wherein the engagement contour has a recess with a width corresponding to a cross-sectional width of the tubular support element and/or a width of the mounting plate.
