ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to an improved music stand that comprises a tripod, a telescopic rod, a music rest, and a connector. The telescopic rod can be disposed on the tripod and the telescopic rod can be readily adjusted for its height. The music rest is configured by an upper half and a lower half that are pivotally connected with each other. By this arrangement, the upper half can be folded onto the lower half. The rear portion of the music rest is provided with a connecting rod that is arranged in traverse direction. The connector has a T-shape configuration and the connecting rod is inserted into the upper portion of the connector. The lower portion of the connector is pivotally attached to the upper end of the telescopic rod and it can be rotated in traverse direction. The upper half of the music rest can be folded onto the lower half of the music rest. The connector can be rotated such that the coupling rod is arranged in parallel with the telescopic rod. The tripod can be retracted. When the music stand is folded, none of the elements is disconnected from each other. The overall size of the music stand can be reduced to a certain extend that is suitable for storing and carrying.
