Light stand having a fixture height adjustment mechanism

摘要

A light stand (10) having a pair of height adjustment mechanisms (14) which allows a user to selectively adjust the height of a light fixture (12) supported by the light stand on end at a time. The light stand includes a pair of spaced-apart vertical supports (16) and a horizontal member (56) extending between the supports and attached to the supports at opposite ends. Each height adjustment mechanism comprises an elongate flexible member (64) extending over a guide (60) attached to the inner horizontal member and securable to a securing device (62) attached to one of the vertical supports. The elongate flexible member is connected to the light fixture at one end (70), extends over the guide and is securable to the securing device. To change the height of one end of the light fixture, a user disengages one of the elongate flexible members from the corresponding securing devices, adjusts the length of the elongate flexible member played out from the guide and engages the elongate flexible member with securing device. If desired, the user repeats the forgoing steps with the height adjustment mechanism at the opposite end of the light fixture.
