Abstract
An adjustable dock support for a dock of the kind having an upstanding piling and a load carrying part including a member to be supported on the piling. The dock support comprises an elongate flexible member for at least partly enwrapping the piling at a desired height thereon. A base member is engageable with a portion of the perimeter of the piling opposite the flexible member. An over center lever member is pivoted with respect to the base member, from an open position to a closed position, and is engageable with the flexible member for tightly enlooping the piling and therewith snugly gripping the piling with the base member and flexible member. A carrier is fixed with respect to the base member for supporting a load carrying member of the dock.
