ABSTRACT:
The tripod stand is used to elevate the bottom of a can. Three legs protrude outward from a support platform intersection. The intersection is located below the can bottom. The legs in the intersection establish and lie within a singular support plane beneath the can. Each leg has a foot formed at its remote end. The foot is a compact structure having a lower body protruding below the support plane and having a raised lip protruding above the support plane. The raised lip has a substantially vertical face with an inwardly directed tab near its uppermost periphery. Upon placement of the can bottom on the support plane, the tab locks over the edge of the can bottom. In one embodiment, each foot is generally spherically shaped and the lip is formed as a cut-out from the sphere. In another embodiment, each foot forms a tiered structure defining multiple levels of support surfaces for predetermined can bottom diameters.
