Abstract:
A device for positioning drywall at any angle to a 12 ft height. Comprised of a cradle () on which drywall is loaded, the cradle () floats and rotates, utilizing the self-adjusting head. The cradle is pinned to a boom (). The boom () is pinned to the boom assembly (), which is hinged to the tower (). A scissor-jack () is bolted to the tower (). The scissor-jack () is manually cranked, acting upon the boom assembly (), raising or lowering it. The cradle () will maintain nearly the same angle from loading to highest position. Drywall is held secure by lugs. When the drywall touches the surface, the rotating head will automatically adjust the cradle () to the wall or ceiling angle. The cradle () design allows for safely working beneath the entire sheet. The stability of the device allows for maximum maneuverability. Cradle (), boom () and legs () can be detached for ease of disassembling and transport. A single person can install drywall.
