has a main hollow rod, a first hollow leg, a second hollow leg, a
first brace, a second brace, a first bracket, and a second bracket.
A pivot means fastens the first hollow leg and the second hollow
leg on the main hollow rod pivotally. A hollow upper block is
disposed on top of the main hollow rod. The pivot means has a lobe,
a transverse plate and a longitudinal plate which is disposed on
top of the transverse plate. A main hollow rod has a lobe disposed
on an upper portion of the main hollow rod. A circular hole and a
curved hole are formed on the main hollow rod. A hollow upper block
has a lower protrusion inserted in an upper end of the main hollow
rod. A first and a second round cushions are disposed adjacent to a
first and a second sides of the hollow upper block, respectively.
The first round cushion has a first center hole. The second round
cushion has a second center hole. A first bolt passes through the
first center hole to fasten the first round cushion on the hollow
upper block. A second bolt passes through the second center hole to
fasten the second round cushion on the hollow upper block. A
longitudinal plate is disposed on a top of the transverse plate.
The longitudinal plate has an upper hole to match the corresponding
circular hole and a lower hole to match the corresponding curved
hole. A first fastening member passes through the circular hole and
the upper hole and a second fastening member passes through the
lower hole and the curved hole to fasten the lobe and the
longitudinal plate together. A first and a second joints are
disposed on the first and the second hollow legs, respectively.
Each of the first and the second joints has a threaded lower
portion inserted in a top interior of the corresponding hollow leg,
an annular flange abutting the threaded lower portion, and a top
recess to receive the transverse plate. A bevel is disposed beneath
the top recess. A notch is formed on a top rim of the first hollow
leg. A third and a fourth fastening members fasten the first and
the second joints on the transverse plate. The first brace is
fastened on a lower portion of the first hollow leg. The second
brace is fastened on a lower portion of the second hollow leg. A
first hook extends from a top end of the first bracket to be
inserted in the first brace. A second hook extends from a top end
of the second bracket to be inserted in the second brace.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0003] An object of the present invention is to provide a guitar
stand which can be operated easily,
[0004] Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a
guitar stand which can be folded easily.
[0005] Accordingly, a guitar stand comprises a first leg, a second
leg, a first bracket, a second bracket, a third leg, a connecting
seat, a connector, a tube, and a foldable support frame. The third
leg has an upper end. The first leg has a first end joint having a
first slot. The second leg has a second end joint having a second
slot. The first bracket has a first mount disposed on the first
leg. The second bracket has a second mount disposed on the second
leg. The connecting seat has a U-shaped frame disposed on the third
leg, the U-shaped frame having a threaded through aperture, a
T-shaped plate inserted in the U-shaped frame, the first slot, and
the second slot, and a screw rod fastening the T-shaped plate and
the U-shaped frame via the threaded through aperture. The connector
has a collar receiving the upper end of the third leg, a T-shaped
block connected to the collar, and two annular cushions disposed on
the T-shaped block. The collar has a round hole receiving a
threaded button. The tube is inserted through the collar and
inserted in the third leg. The foldable support frame is disposed
on the tube.
