Filed:

Mar 25, 1991

Appl. No.:

7/676760

Inventors:

Kim N. Andrews - Santa Monica CA

International Classification:

A47B 9700

US Classification:

248460

Abstract:

A collapsible music stand composed of a plurality of foldable panels which are mounted on a tripod base. Sheet music is to be located against the foldable panels. Foldable panels include a center panel with one side panel mounted to the right edge of the center panel and another side panel mounted to the left edge of the center panel. The side panels have bottom edges which are slightly misaligned from the bottom edge of the center panel so that the side panels can be pivoted to rest against the front side of the center panel with the bottom edges of the side panels not interfering with the lower edge of the center panel. The side panels are capable of assuming a substantially aligned position with the center panel with the side panels being slightly inclined so that relative to the front side of the center panel there is formed a slightly concave configuration. Pivotal shelf members are mounted to the bottom edges of the side panel and to the lower edge of the center panel.

Abstract:

A collapsible swing-out extendible music stand capable of tilting and holding multiple sheets or books simultaneously on a vertical shaft and foldable tripod base. The upper section is a backrest consisting of plates connected by vertical hinges attached to folding shelf segments by horizontal hinges. The outermost plates may be used individually or in tandem being secured to the back of the primary plates by fastening devices, when not in use. A handle is mounted on the front of the center plate for carrying. A pivot device on the reverse side allows tilting of the backrest. A vertical shaft within a shaft and tensioning device permits height adjustment. In the second embodiment the outermost plates fold opposite toward the front, and are without attached shelves. The additional shelf panels are hinged to and folded beneath the main shelves, secured by fastening devices. When in use, the shelf panels are attached by locking device to the extended outermost plate.
