Stand for supporting an object

摘要

A stand for supporting an object includes at least one support attachable to the object and a sliding member slidably secured to the support. The stand also includes a plurality of legs pivotally coupled to the sliding member for allowing the plurality of legs to move with the sliding member when the sliding member slides along the support. A retainer is coupled to the plurality of legs for stabilizing and supporting the plurality of legs. A release mechanism is attached to the sliding member for controlling movement of the sliding member to pivot the plurality of legs into an outward expanded position during use of the stand and to pivot the plurality of legs into an inward collapsed positioned during non-use of the stand.
