ABSTRACT:
A knockdown support stand for support of aquarium or terrarium-type containers of varying capacities. The stand includes a plurality of support members depending from the bottom surface of a substantially planar top of the stand. Each support member includes first and second resiliently bendable and twistable legs which are joined together at their bottom ends. The legs each include an upper end which is permanently bent at ninety degrees to the longitudinal centerline of the leg and within the plane commonly occupied by the first and second legs. This bent end is further permanently bent at an angle of forty-five degrees in a direction out of the plane commonly occupied by the legs. A plurality of pairs of receivers are attached to the bottom surface of the top at spaced intervals about the periphery of the top. The receivers of each pair are oriented with their extended longitudinal centerlines intersecting at a right angle at a location inwardly of the periphery of the top and of the pair of receivers. Through manual manipulation including bending and twisting of the legs, the bent ends of the legs are aligned with their respective receivers and inserted into the tubes. Upon release, the legs tend to relax, whereupon the bent ends frictionally engage the inner wall of their respective receivers to bind the bent ends securely within their receivers. In one embodiment, a support shelf is interposed between the several support, the support shelf being dimensionally larger than the top so as to urge the support members outwardly from the vertical.
