       2 . The height-adjustable window air conditioner support of  claim 1 , wherein said first support platform is magnetized. 
   
   
       3 . The height-adjustable window air conditioner support of  claim 1 , wherein said second support platform comprises a rubberized surface for engaging said window ledge. 
   
   
       4 . The height-adjustable window air conditioner support of  claim 2 , wherein said second support platform comprises a rubberized surface for engaging said window ledge. 
   
   
       5 . The height-adjustable window air conditioner support of  claim 1 , wherein said male-threaded shaft and said female threaded shaft are plastic. 
   
   
       6 . The height-adjustable window air conditioner support of  claim 5 , wherein said first support platform is magnetized. 
   
   
       7 . The height-adjustable window air conditioner support of  claim 6 , wherein said second support platform comprises a rubberized surface for engaging said window ledge.
