Adjustable Stand Apparatus

Abstract

An adjustable stand apparatus comprises a pivoting head that attaches to an apparatus to stabilize it. A leg is pivotally connected to the pivoting head. The leg has a pivoting foot attached to the other end. In one embodiment, a leg extension is used to allow a user to adjust the height for use with different sized apparatus. The pivoting head is either mechanically attached to the apparatus using screws or bolts or in another embodiment, a friction pad made of rubber-like material is used to allow a frictional attachment to the selected apparatus. Additionally, friction pads are placed on the pivoting foot to enhance stability. An adjusting pin is biased using a spring to selectively hold the leg extension in a selected position. In another embodiment, the adjustable stand apparatus is not adjustable for use with a specific apparatus.

       3 . An adjustable stand apparatus according to  claim 1  further comprising at least one friction pad disposed on said pivoting head. 
   
   
       4 . An adjustable stand apparatus according to  claim 1  further comprising at least one friction pad disposed on said pivoting foot. 
   
   
       5 . An adjustable stand apparatus according to  claim 1  further comprising:
 a leg extension movably disposed within said leg; and   an adjustment means for selectively adjusting said leg extension.   
   
   
       6 . An adjustable stand apparatus according to  claim 5  wherein said adjustment means comprises a spring-loaded detent pin. 
   
   
       7 . An adjustable stand apparatus according to  claim 6  wherein said leg extension further comprises a plurality of adjustment holes disposed therein wherein said spring-loaded detent pin selectively fits within one of said plurality of adjustment holes to select an extension position. 
   
   
       8 . An adjustable stand apparatus comprising:
 a pivoting head;   a leg having a first end pivotally connected to said head pivot rod;   a pivoting foot; and   said pivoting foot being pivotally connected to a second end of said pivoting foot wherein said foot is free to rotate to adjust to a surface therein.   
   
   
       9 . An adjustable stand apparatus according to  claim 8  further comprising:
 a leg extension telescopically disposed within said leg; and   an adjustment means for selectively adjusting said leg extension.   
   
   
       10 . An adjustable stand apparatus according to  claim 9  wherein said adjustment means comprises a spring-loaded detent pin. 
   
   
       11 . An adjustable stand apparatus according to  claim 10  wherein said leg extension further comprises a plurality of adjustment holes disposed therein wherein said spring-loaded detent pin selectively fits within one of said plurality of adjustment holes to select an extension position. 
   
   
       12 . An adjustable stand apparatus according to  claim 11  further comprising a securing means to secure said pivoting head to a selected apparatus wherein said apparatus is stabilized in a selected position therein. 
   
   
       13 . An adjustable stand apparatus according to  claim 12  wherein said securing means is at least one screw wherein said screw is removeably secured through a hole in said pivoting head and into said selected apparatus. 
   
   
       14 . An adjustable stand apparatus according to  claim 12  wherein said securing means is at least one bolt wherein said bolt is removeably secured through a hole in said pivoting head and into said selected apparatus. 
   
   
       15 . An adjustable stand apparatus comprising:
 a head;   a leg having a first end connected to said head at an apparatus angle selected to align with a selected apparatus surface;   a foot;   said foot being connected to a second end of said leg wherein said foot is angled to align with a floor surface.   
   
   
       16 . An adjustable stand apparatus according to  claim 15  wherein said apparatus angle is between 45 to 60 degrees. 
   
   
       17 . An adjustable stand apparatus according to  claim 15  wherein said head is frictionally in contact with a surface of a selected apparatus. 
   
   
       18 . An adjustable stand apparatus according to  claim 15  wherein said head is mechanically connected to a surface of a selected apparatus.
