Abstract
The present invention relates to a stand (1) which can be collapsed for transportation and storage and unfolded when in use, comprising an upper stand head (2) arranged to support sheet-like objects, in particular sheets of music, and a rod-shaped central part (4) and preferably a lower leg arrangement (5), or similar, and with the objective of providing an improved stand both as regards its haandling, use and transportation, it is proposed according to the invention that the upper stand head (2) comprises extendable stays (6, 7).
Claims19
A stand (1) which can be collapsed during transportation and storage and be unfolded for use, comprising an upper stand head (2) arranged to support sheet-like objects, and a rod-shaped central part (4) and preferably a lower leg arrangement (5), characterised in that the upper stand head (2) comprises main stays (6, 7) each of which is freely extendable and allows lengthening or shortening at a free end thereof, each of said main stays (6, 7) includes first and second stays, each of said first stays (6a;
- 7a) is at one end fastened rotatably (8a;
- 8b) to a lower central area of the stand head (2), each of said second stays (6b;
- 7b) is fastened displaceably relative to one of said first stays (6a;
- 7a) by an upper guiding and holding device (10a;
- 10b) which passes through the respective first stay and displaceably engages the respective second stay at a groove in the second stay, each of said second stays (6b;
- 7b) in addition is fastened to a lower guiding and holding device (11a;
- 11b) which passes through the respective second stay (6b;
- 7b) and displaceably engages the respective first stay at a groove in the first stay, and the lower guiding and holding device is also rotatably fastened to an upper cross stay (12a;
- 13a) and a lower cross stay (12b;
- 13b).
A stand which can be collapsed during transportation and storage and be unfolded for use, comprising an upper stand head (2) arranged to support sheet-like objects, a rod-shaped central part (4) and preferably a lower leg arrangement (5), characterised in that the upper stand head (2) comprises main stays (6, 7) each of which is freely extendable and allows lengthening or shortening at a free end thereof, each of the extendable stays (6, 7) is fastened rotatably at a rotation point (8a;
- 8b) at an inner end of one of two main frame components (9a;
- 9b) in order thereby to have a common rotation point with respect to a lower central area of the stand head, the main frame components (9a;
- 9b) being in the shape of an open duct, comprising a bottom area (18) for support of the sheet-like objects, a front support edge (19) for retention of the sheet-like (objects, as well as a rear load-carrying support edge (17) which supports said rotation points (8a;
- 8b).
A stand which can be collapsed during transportation and storage and be unfolded for use, comprising an upper stand head (2) having a central column arranged to support sheet-like objects on opposing main frame components, and a rod-shaped central part (4) as well as extendable main stays (6, 7) and preferably a lower leg arrangement (5), characterised in that the upper stand head (2) comprises extendable main stays (6, 7) each of which is freely extendable and allows lengthening or shortening at a free end thereof, the extendable main stays (6, 7) are fastened at rotation points (8a, 8b) which also form hooking points for a rubber band (21a;
- 21b);
- wherein the rubber band extends in a hooked position along the respective main frame component (9a;
- 9b) around the hooking point and to an upper area (20) of the central column (15), in one position (21a′;
- 21b′) the rubber band extends from an outer end of each main frame component to the upper area of the central column, to form additional support for the sheet-like objects which are on the stand head (2) when the latter is in an unfolded position for use.
