Abstract

A portable equipment stand to hold tactical equipment, protective equipment, and/or uniforms is disclosed. An example portable equipment stand includes a central frame, at least two legs hingedly connected to a first section of the central frame, two arms hingedly connected to a second section of the central frame, and interleaved gearing connected to each of the two arms at the second section of the central frame. The interleaved gearing causes the two arms to synchronously rotate between a deployed position and a retracted position. The arms are configured to enclose at least a bottom portion of the legs when the arms are in the retracted position and the legs are in their retracted position.

A portable equipment stand comprising:

a central frame having a cylindrical shape;
at least two legs hingedly connected to a first section of the central frame, the at least two legs being rotatable between a first retracted position and a first deployed position;
two arms hingedly connected to a second section of the central frame, the two arms located on opposing sides of the central frame and being rotatable between a second retracted position and a second deployed position;
and
interleaved gearing connected to each of the two arms at the second section of the central frame, the interleaved gearing causing the two arms to synchronously rotate between the second deployed position and the second retracted position,
wherein the two arms are configured to enclose at least a bottom portion of the at least two legs when the two arms are in the second retracted position and the at least two legs are in the first retracted position.
