Speaker stand

A speaker standing comprising:

• (a) a base member having a substantially flat bottom surface, formed of a molded superstructure including a generally flat, major surface, a depending peripheral lip extending downwardly from the peripheral edge of said major surface, and first cylindrical mounting hub having an axial opening therein extending upwardly from the central portion of said base member and formed by a tubular wall extending upwardly from the edge of a circular central opening in said major surface terminating in an inwardly and downwardly turned flange which defines said axial opening, a flat plate of a length and width such as to fit snugly beneath said major surface inside the boundary defined by said peripheral lip and secured to said major surface to form said flat bottom surface;
• (b) a lower shaft cap including a circular disc lying co-planar but unattached, to said major surface, and of a diameter less than said central opening of said major surface, said circular disc including an upwardly turned peripheral flange having an inner diameter substantially the same as the outer diameter of said shaft for receiving the lower end of said tubular shaft;
• (c) an upper support member having a substantially flat upper surface lying in a plane inclined with respect to the horizontal, and a second cylindrical mounting hub having an axial opening therein extending downwardly from the central portion of the upper support member;
• (d) an elongated, upright, tubular shaft member having an outer diameter substantially equal to and no greater than the axial opening in each of said first and second mounting hubs;
• (e) said base member, tubular shaft, and upper support member being formed of a relatively lightweight, moldable material and bonded together with said tubular shaft joining and extending between said base member and said upper support member to form an integral unit.
