Abstract
A holder for flexible materials which incorporate two arms connected by an elbow. Within the elbow is a tensioning mechanism which, when engaged, tends to press the arm apart. When the tension is released, the holder collapses into an easily stored mechanism. With the arms being variable in length, the range of material dimensions is greatly enhanced. A connector positioned at the elbow permits the holder to be secured to a base and arranged in gangs to address the particular need at the time.
Claims12
A holder for flexible materials comprising:
- a) a first arm and a second arm;
- and,
- b) an elbow mechanism connected to a first end of the first arm and the first end of the second arm, said elbow mechanism containing a tensioning mechanism adapted to selectively encourage the first arm and the second arm to rotate into a larger angle.
A holder for flexible materials comprising:
- a) A floor stand;
- b) A cross member secured to the floor stand substantially at a center point of the cross member;
- and,
- c) A first holder and second holder secured to the cross member substantially at opposing ends of the cross member, the first holder and the second holder each having,
- 1) a first arm and a second arm;
- and,
- 2) an elbow mechanism connected to a first end of the first arm and the first end of the second arm, said elbow mechanism containing a tensioning mechanism adapted to encourage the first arm and the second arm to rotate into a larger angle.
A holder for flexible materials comprising:
- a) A floor stand having a vertical upright, an uppermost end of the vertical upright having a mounting mechanism for a light;
- b) A light secured to the mounting mechanism;
- c) A cross member secured to the vertical upright;
- d) A light diffuser;
- and
- e) A first holder and second holder secured to the cross member substantially at opposing ends of the cross member, the first holder and the second holder having,
- 1) A first arm and a second arm;
- and,
- 2) an elbow mechanism connected to a first end of the first arm and the first end of the second arm, said elbow mechanism containing a tensioning mechanism adapted to encourage the first arm and the second arm to rotate into a larger angle, and,
- 3) grasping mechanisms positioned at a distal end of each arm, said grasping mechanisms secured to the light diffuser.
