Telescoping support stand apparatus

A telescoping support stand comprising:

• a handle comprising a trigger;
• wherein the trigger is accessible outside the handle and includes first and second ends, the first end being pivotally attached to the handle and the second end being movable radially inward and radially outward during operation;
• a connection housing attached to the handle comprising a plurality of pivot hubs and a release assembly within the connection housing configured to be actuated by the trigger;
• a respective extendable leg pivotably engaged to each pivot hub of the plurality of pivot hubs, each extendable leg comprising
• an outer tube;
• an inner tube having a first end portion that telescopically slides within the outer tube and a second end portion pivotably engaged to each respective pivot hub of the plurality of pivot hubs;
• and
• a locking mechanism mounted within each extendable leg;
• wherein actuation of the trigger actuates the release assembly to release the locking mechanism within each extendable leg to allow the inner tube and the outer tube to move longitudinally relative to each other when the release assembly is actuated by the trigger;
• wherein the release assembly comprises
• a displacement rod extending from the connection housing into the handle in operational connectivity to the trigger and a release member in the connection housing, and the trigger is configured to move the displacement rod and the release member upward when the trigger is actuated;
• wherein the release member is in operational connectivity to a first end of a respective release lever within each pivot hub;
• each release lever is pivotable about a pivot and a second end is in operational connectivity with a respective release rod within each extendable leg in operational connectivity to the locking mechanism within each extendable leg.
