ABSTRACT:
A lightweight, folding music stand is provided which is also of use as a copy holder or a book holder. The stand is comprised of a plurality of panels and hinges arranged such that the stand is folded or erected with a minimum of steps and with desirable rigidity. The stand is also returned to a folded position with minimal effort and with a minimum of steps. The plurality of panels and hinges form a support member, a shelf, an angular portion, and feet members when the stand is in its operation configuration. The angular portion and feet members are integrally formed. When closed, the support member and shelf fold to form two panels and the device folds to approximately one-half the size of the support member. The folding support member encloses the feet members which nest within the closed stand. In its closed configuration, the stand is smaller and lighter in weight than a typical magazine, and consequently can be easily transported and stored.
