Adjustable equipment support

摘要

A support for supporting equipment includes at least one elongate leg element at least partially supporting an apex selectively, detachably mountable to equipment, where the leg includes a first end proximate the apex and a second end distal the apex, and where the leg is pivotal about an axis proximate the first end throughout a limited arc. A securement assembly pivotably interconnects the first end of the leg with the apex. The securement assembly has selectable resistance to movement along the arc as a result of selectively increasing or decreasing the resistance between at least three friction plates having surfaces in face-to-face engagement with one another.

1. A support for supporting equipment, said support comprising:
(a) at least two elongate leg elements at least partially supporting an apex selectively, detachably mountable to equipment, where each of said legs includes a respective first end proximate said apex and a second end distal said apex, and where each of said legs is pivotal about an axis proximate said first end throughout a limited arc; and (b) a respective securement assembly pivotably interconnecting each of said first end of said legs with said apex; (c) each of said respective said securement assembly having an independently selectable resistance to movement along said arc at any said location along said limited arc as a result of selectively increasing or decreasing the resistance between at least three friction plates having surfaces in face-to-face engagement with one another.
