ABSTRACT:
A tripod stand for supporting a musical instrument or other object, wherein a main post is provided with an upper slide member to which the upper ends of the three legs of the tripod are hingedly connected. A respective articulated arm connects each leg with the lower portion of the main post. Movement of the slide member up and down causes selective inward and outward movement of the legs. One of the articulated arms is adjustable in length and is typically adjusted longer than the other nonadjustable articulated arms when it is desired to tilt the stand toward the leg attached at the one articulated arm. Such adjustability is obtained by making the one articulated arm telescopable in length or by providing that arm with an elongate slot that is slidable along the journal connection of that arm to the respective leg and is selectively positionable at a desired length for that arm. The downward movement of the slide member causes that leg attached to the longer arm to move outward further from the main post, making the bottom ends of the legs move from defining an equilateral triangle to defining an isosceles triangle and thereby tilting the main post. Greater stability can be achieved by increasing the angle between the two legs that are opposite the leg having the one adjustably longer articulated arm.
