Tiltable tripod stand

A tiltable tripod stand comprising:

• a main post;
• three tripod legs, the legs having respective upper ends for being secured on the post, the legs having respective lower ends for resting on the surface on which the tripod stand is supported;
• a respective articular arm pivotally attached at one fixed location on each leg intermediate the ends of the leg and also pivotally attached at one fixed location on the post, wherein movement of the upper ends of the legs with respect to the main post, through the articular arms, selectively folds the legs together to close the stand and opens the legs apart forming the bottom ends of the legs into a triangle which supports the tripod stand;
• at least two upper holding members being supported on the main post, with at least one of the upper holding members being movable along the main post with respect to the other upper holding member;
• at least one of the tripod legs at the upper end thereof being pivotally connected with the one upper holding member, at least one other of the legs at the upper end thereof being pivotally connected with the other of the upper holding members, and the third leg being pivotally connected with one or the other of the upper holding members, such that movement of the one upper holding member with respect to the other upper holding member moves one of the legs selectively inwardly or outwardly of the main post with respect to the one other leg, for changing the shape of the triangle defined by the bottom ends of the tripod legs which tilts the main post toward one of the legs.

• three tripod legs, the legs having respective upper ends for being secured on the post, the legs having respective lower ends for resting on the surface on which the tripod stand is supported;
• a respective articular arm pivotally attached to each leg intermediate the ends of the leg and pivotally attached to the post, wherein movement of the upper ends of the legs with respect to the main post, through the articular arms, selectively folds the legs together to close the stand and opens the legs apart forming the bottom ends of the legs into a triangle which supports the tripod stand;
• the legs being held at their upper ends to be supported to be pivotable with respect to the main post;
• at least two lower holding members supported on the main post, with at least one of the lower holding members being movable along the main post with respect to the other lower holding member;
• at least one of the articular arms being pivotally connected to the one lower holding member for thereby being moved along the main post along with the one lower holding member;
• at least one other of the articular arms being pivotally connected with the other lower holding member such that movement of the one lower holding member along the main post with respect to the other lower holding member, for moving the respective articular arm therealong, in turn selectively moves the respective leg connected with the moved articular arm inward or outward of the main post, for changing the shape of the triangle defined by the bottom ends of the tripod legs, which tilts the main post toward one of the legs.
