ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates, in general, to guitar stands used to display guitars in places such as shops and, more particularly, to a guitar stand that is light and is easily folded so as to obtain convenience in storing and carrying a guitar, is capable of sustaining the guitar stably so as to bear up against a certain degree of impact, and allows advertisements to appear on its front plate so as to improve its advertisement effect.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Conventional guitar stands serve simply to sustain guitars. Therefore, no provision for convenience in storing and carrying guitars is made in the conventional guitar stands. Additionally, the stands cannot even sustain the guitars stably.
That is, the conventional guitar stands are inconvenient in storing and carrying guitars because of the weights and sizes of the stands, and cannot sustain guitars stably due to the insufficient holding structures of the stands. In addition, the conventional stands do not have a provision for displaying advertisements.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Accordingly, the present invention has been made keeping in mind the above problems occurring in the prior art, and an object of the present invention is to provide a guitar stand that is light and is easily folded so as to obtain convenience in storing and carrying a guitar.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a guitar stand that is capable of sustaining a guitar stably so as to bear up against a certain degree of impact.
A further object of the present invention is to provide a guitar stand that allows advertisements to appear on its front so as to improve its advertisement effect.
In order to accomplish the above object, the present invention provides a guitar stand, comprising two rest frames for supporting a guitar at the bottom portion of the guitar, the rest frames being hinged to each other at their rear ends and respectively having recesses in the rear portions of their lower surfaces, two back support arms for supporting the guitar at the back portion of the guitar, the back support arms being respectively connected to the rear portions of outer side surfaces of the rest frames to be rotated in a vertical plane directed forward and rearward, two tilt prevention feet for preventing the guitar stand from being tilted to the right or left and sustaining the back support arms in raised positions, the tilt prevention feet being respectively connected to the rest frames to be rotated in a horizontal plane while being positioned in the recesses of the rest frames, and two stoppers for restricting excessive rotation of the back support arms rearward, the two stoppers being respectively fixed to the extreme rear portions of the outer side surfaces of the rest frames.
