Rotatable Easel with Adjustable Arms

摘要

An apparatus for supporting and/or positioning two-dimensional objects is described. In some examples, the apparatus is an easel configured to position a canvas in front of a painter in any orientation within three-dimensional space. Such an easel enables a painter working with the canvas to adjust and/or orient the canvas with respect to the painter, such as by rotating the canvas towards or away from the painter, rotating the canvas about itself, translating the canvas vertically, translating the canvas horizontally, and so on.

1. An apparatus for positioning a two-dimensional object in three-dimensional space, the apparatus comprising:
a base; a support beam coupled to the base and configured to translate in a vertical direction; and an attachment mechanism coupled to the support beam, wherein the attachment mechanism includes:
two size-adjustable arms that intersect one another to form a platform in which to place a two-dimensional object; andgrip components located at the ends of each of the two size-adjustable arms, wherein the grip components are rotatably fixed to the arms and configured to make contact with the two-dimensional object in order to maintain the two-dimensional object at the platform formed by the two size-adjustable arms.
