Telescoping support stand apparatus

摘要

A telescoping support stand comprising a first tube partially defining a first enclosed area and a second tube partially defining a second enclosed area. A first end of the second tube may be telescopically slidable within the first tube. The telescoping support stand may also comprise a first locking mechanism attached to the second tube. The first locking mechanism may releasably secure the first tube to the second tube. The telescoping support stand may also comprise a first air exchange aperture dimensioned to allow air to flow between the first and second enclosed areas. The telescoping support stand may further comprise a release mechanism and a release rod attached to the first locking mechanism. The release mechanism may comprise a displacement member adjacent to the release rod, the displacement member being configured to displace the release rod and release the first locking mechanism.

主权项

1. A telescoping support stand, comprising:
a handle assembly; a plurality of extendable legs, each leg comprising:
a first tube;a second tube having a first end portion that telescopically slides within the first tube and a second end portion connected to the handle assembly;a locking mechanism mounted to the first end portion of the second tube;a release rod extending from the handle assembly to the locking mechanism; a release assembly mounted to the handle assembly to release simultaneously each extendable leg assembly, such that each first tube and second tube moves relative to each other upon deployment of the release assembly, the release assembly comprising:
a displacement member in contact with the release;rod and operable to move the release rod thereby releasing the locking mechanisms to allow relative movement between each of the first and second tubes; a trigger operatively coupled to the release assembly to actuate the displacement member.
