KEYBOARD STAND

摘要

A stand for a musical keyboard is both stable in a deployed configuration and conveniently compact and portable in a collapsed configuration. The separation of the arms and legs may not change in width as the height of the stand is adjusted. The stand has two “floating” V's, one for the arms and one for the legs. These components slide vertically in slots in a central column and are locked in place with clamps that wrap around the column. To adjust the height of the stand, a user loosens either or both the top and/or bottom clamp (arm clamp or leg clamp) and slides the associated floating V up or down along the center column, then re-tightening the clamp when adjustments are finished. For transport and storage, the user loosens each clamp and rotates the arms or legs in, towards the column.

1. An adjustable stand comprising:
a central member; a pair of legs comprising a first leg and a second leg each extending from and coupled to the central member; a pair of arms comprising a first arm and a second arm each extending from and coupled to the central member; and at least one clamp assembly pivotally coupling the arms and the legs to the central member and to allow for translation of each associated leg and arm relative to the central member in a direction generally parallel with a longitudinal axis of the central member.
