A device acting as an instrument support and a walking stick comprises a central column 1 with a member 2 which slides along the outside of the column. Attached to the sliding member by hinges 8 are three legs 3 arranged equidistantly around the column. A strut 4 is attached to the lower extremity of each leg and all three struts are hinged to a sliding anchor member 5 which moves within the central column. A secondary column 13 is inserted into and slides within the central column and carries a threaded stud 12 for the attachment of an instrument 14. A handle 10 and handgrip 11 are mounted on the central column, while a ball grip 17 may be screwed onto the threaded stud. When the device is folded the struts lie within the central column while the legs lie around the it. |
