Abstract
An adjustable portable stand, for supporting an elongate instrument (such as a guitar) by its base in a generally upright orientation, includes a multileg assembly including at least first and second vertically extending rigid legs disposed at a relative angle. First and second supports project outwardly from the first and second legs, respectively, for cooperatively supporting the base of an elongated instrument thereon, each of the supports being independently adjustable along the longitudinal axis of its respective leg and fixable at a selected point therealong. The supports are independently adjustable in height relative to the assembly to compensate for any bilateral asymmetry in the instrument base and thereby cooperatively maintain the instrument in a generally upright orientation.
Claims5
An adjustable portable stand for supporting an elongated instrument having an instrument base at one end, said stand comprising:
- a multi-leg assembly having a front and including at least first and second rigid legs disposed at a relative angle to each other, each of said first and second legs having a longitudinal axis and a free end;
- junction means for functionally joining said first and second legs, said junction means being substantially spaced above said free ends of said first and second legs when the stand is in a generally upright position;
- first and second supports for supporting the instrument base thereon projecting forward from said first and second legs, respectively, between said free ends thereof and said junction means;
- and
- means for independently manually adjusting said first and second supports positionally by sliding each of said first and second supports along the longitudinal axis of said first and second legs, respectively, and for fixing said first and second supports positionally at selected points along said first and second supports, respectively.
