Multi-legged stand with stabilizers

摘要

Described is a multi-legged instrument stand that is specifically designed to increase stability and resistance to tipping. The stand can be used with any suitable instrument, such as guitars (via a guitar hanger), microphones, etc. The stand includes a base with a body pole. A leg connector is slidably attached with the body pole, with three legs and two stabilizers being pivotally connected with the leg connector. Thus, the legs and stabilizers can collapse for storage or rotate outward to allow the stand to be positioned upon a ground surface with increased stability.

主权项

1. An instrument stand, comprising:
a base assembly, the base assembly including:
a body pole with a leg connector slidably attached with the body pole;at least two front legs, at least one rear leg, and at least two stabilizers, wherein the at least two front legs, the at least one rear leg, and the at least two stabilizers are each pivotally connected with the leg connector to allow the at least two front legs, the at least one rear leg, and the at least two stabilizers to collapse in a first state around the body pole and pivot outward from the body pole to unfold in a second state;wherein each of the at least two front legs, the at least one rear leg, and the at least two stabilizers has a fixed and nonadjustable length such that the length of each of the at least two stabilizers is less than the length of each of the at least two front legs but is greater than the length of the at least one rear leg;an arm pivot affixed with the body pole;a plurality of center arms, each center arm pivotally attached between the arm pivot and one of the at least two front legs, the at least one rear leg, and the at least two stabilizers;wherein each leg has a leg end and each stabilizer has a stabilizer end, with the center arms attached with the at least two front legs, the at least one rear leg, and the at least two stabilizers such that the leg ends and the stabilizer ends remain substantially in a common plane as the at least two front legs, the at least one rear leg, and the at least two stabilizers unfold, such that when the instrument stand is positioned upon a level horizontal surface, the leg ends and the stabilizer ends engage with the level horizontal surface and the body pole is tilted away from a vertical axis perpendicular to the level horizontal surface.
