Abstract
A stand to support an object has a bottom frame and two side frames. The side frames are each pivotally attached to opposite ends of the bottom frame with a pair of pivot pins. The pairs of pivot pins are located at different heights. A clasp is mounted on each side frame to detachably engage the bottom frame. When the clasps are released from the bottom frame, the side frames can be pivoted relative to the bottom frame. The stand is foldable. Because the side frames are respectively pivotally attached to the bottom frame by pairs of pivot pins at different heights, one of the side frames can overlap the other side frame. The size of the stand is reduced. Transporting and storing the stand become more convenient.
Claims20
A stand comprising:
- a bottom frame;
- a first side frame pivotally attached to one end of the bottom frame with a first pair of pivot pins;
- a first clasp mounted on the first side frame, the first side frame detachably engages with the bottom frame so as to position the first side frame perpendicular to the bottom frame;
- a second side frame pivotally attached to the other end of the bottom frame with a second pair of pivot pins to be adapted to support an object with the first side frame;
- a second clasp mounted on the second side frame detachably engages with the bottom frame so as to position the second side frame perpendicular to the bottom frame;
- and
- a stop is mounted on each side of the bottom frame and has two ends respectively abutting the first and second side frames, wherein opposite ends of the stop respectively face the first clasp and the second clasp;
- and
- the first clasp has a structure the same as the second clasp and has a hook formed on the free end of the first clasp to engage the facing stop.
A stand comprising:
- a bottom frame;
- a first side frame pivotally attached to one end of the bottom frame with a first pair of pivot pins;
- a first clasp mounted on the first side frame, the first side frame detachably engages with the bottom frame so as to position the first side frame perpendicular to the bottom frame;
- a second side frame pivotally attached to the other end of the bottom frame with a second pair of pivot pins to be adapted to support an object with the first side frame, wherein the first side frame has a structure the same as the second side frame;
- a second clasp mounted on the second side frame the second side frame, detachably engages with the bottom frame so as to position the second side frame, wherein the first side frame is composed of two longitudinal members with a top and bottom end and a lateral member secured to the top of the longitudinal members as an inverse U-shaped frame;
- and
- an opening is defined in each longitudinal member of each side frame to be adapted to receive a stub attached to a bottom of the object.
