ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a mount for a stand or stool. The support legs for the stand or stool are disposed in a pyramidal relationship with the mount at the apex. The legs, four in number, are disposed between parallel, spaced legs of L-shaped brackets and pivotally secured thereto. Unlike prior art devices, the brackets are integrally joined to the legs and removable from the remainder of the mount. The remainder of the mount comprises a support member or plate with a threaded rod depending perpendicularly therefrom. The rod passes between the L-shaped brackets which pivotally hold the legs. A flat washer is used to engage one side of the bracket and a wing nut is used to tighten the flat washer and the support member against the brackets to form a rigid mount for the stool or stand. An interlocking set of cross bars, pivotally mounted to the legs midway below the stand, keeps the legs extended and adds to the stability of the overall construction. The stand may be provided with L-shaped brackets, each of which has a slot formed therein in one leg. A threaded collar is secured to the underside of the support member and a thumb screw threaded therein to hold the L-shaped bracket releasably in place. The bracket is disposed to be pivotally moved to either one of two juxtaposed sides of the support member. A multi-use bracket comprises a rectangular planar member or plate having a symmetrically disposed depression and opposed complementary boss with an aperture therethrough. A clinch nut is secured in the aperture in the depression. A threaded bolt is threaded into the nut from the boss side.
