Pipe fitting stand

A pipe fitting stand comprising:

• a central support post;
• a fixed support structure disposed on the central support post, the fixed support structure including a fixed upper handle;
• a sliding support structure slidably disposed on the central support post, the sliding support structure including a sliding lower handle;
• a telescoping post slidably disposed within the central support post;
• a cradle engaged with the telescoping post that is configured to support a portion of a pipe;
• at least three legs extending from the fixed support structure;
• and
• a leg support extending between each of the at least three legs and the sliding support structure, wherein as the sliding lower handle is moved along the central support post toward the fixed upper handle, the at least three legs are drawn inward to a folded state, and wherein as the sliding lower handle is moved away from the fixed upper handle, the at least three legs splay outward to a deployed state.

A pipe fitting stand comprising:

• a central support post having an upper end and a lower end;
• a fixed support structure disposed on the upper end of the central support post;
• a sliding support structure disposed on the central support post, wherein the sliding support structure slides between the lower end of the central support post and the fixed support structure;
• a telescoping post extending at least partially into the central support post, the telescoping post slidably disposed within the central support post and including an upper end;
• an extension post extending at least partially into the telescoping post;
• a cradle disposed on the extension post that is configured to support a portion of a pipe;
• at least three legs extending from the fixed support structure;
• and
• a leg support extending between each of the at least three legs and the sliding support structure, wherein as the sliding support structure moves along the central support post toward the fixed support structure, the at least three legs are drawn inward to a folded state, and wherein as the sliding support structure is moved away from the fixed support structure, the at least three legs splay outward to a deployed state.
