  1. 1
    I claim as my invention is as follows:1. A pedestal comprising angle-iron legs connected by horizontal angle irons, a leveling screw in the angle of each leg to support and level an article standing on the pedestal, 85 said screws being a short distance below the upper ends of the legs, so that said article sets down into the. angles.
  2. 2
    A pedestal comprising angle-iron legs connected by horizontal tie members, a level- 90 ing screw at each corner of the pedestal whereby to level the base of an article carried by the pedestal, said tie members being capable of slight torsional flexure whereby to insure that each leg rests firmly on the 95 ground.
  3. 3
    A pedestal comprising angle-iron legs united by horizontal angle iron tie members, the ends of which are riveted to the legs;horizontal gusset plates riveted to said mem- Ιθθ 1,820,103 bers over their junctures in the angles of said legs, said plates having vertical tapped holes, leveling screws in said holes, having plates connected to their ends by swivels, 6 said plates being below the upper ends of the legs so that an article set on the plates will be kept in place thereon by the upper ends of the legs. ’
  4. 4
    A stack of pedestals, each comprising 10 angle-iron legs connected by horizontal tie members, each leg having within its angle a leveling screw whereby to level an article carried by that pedestal, the lower ends of the legs of each pedestal above' the bottom 15 °ne being adapted to interlock with the upper ends of the legs of the pedestal below, thereby insuring secure and stable connection of the several pedestals, each to the other. 20
  5. 5
    5· A slack of pedestals, each comprising angle-iron legs connected by horizontal tie members, each leg having within its angle a leveling screw whereby to level an article carried by that pedestal, the lower ends of 25 the legs of each pedestal above the bottom one having strips of metal riveted on the inside and the outside, extending below the ends of the legs and adapted to embrace the upper ends of the legs of the pedestal below, so thereby connecting the several pedestals, each to another.
  6. 6
    A pedestal comprising a plurality of vertical members, means connecting said members to hold them in substantial ver35;ticality, each member carrying a leveling screw, said screws being so positioned with reference to each other that an article supported.by the pedestal rests upon the screws and may be leveled with reference to the 4 0 ;pedestal.
  7. 7
    _ A pedestal comprising a plurality of upright members, means connecting said members to hold them in substantial verticality, said connecting means being suf45-:ficiently flexible to permit movement by the upright members relative to each other sufficient, to insure firm seating of said upright members on the ground, each member carrying a .leveling screw, said screws 597 being so positioned with reference, to each other that a body supported by the pedestal rests upon the screws and may be leveled with reference to the pedestal.
