1 Claim.

This invention relates to a stand for holding books, magazines and the like, so that a person can read while lying in bed or reclining in his chair, etc., and also to provide means whereby gthe stand can be used as a small table or as a smoking stand.

This invention also consists incertain features of construction and in the combinationand arrangement of parts `to be hereinafter fully de- 10.scribed, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and specifically pointed out in the appended claim.

In describing the invention in detail, reference will be had to the accompanying drawings wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the several Views, and in which:-

Figure 1 is an elevation of the device.

Fig. 2 is a section on line 2 2 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a fragmentary View showing the tray part in Vertical position.

Fig. 4 is a fragmentary view of the tray part in horizontal position and also showing how the upper part of the upright is pivoted to the lower Fig. 5 is a sectional view thru the upright showing the holder members within the same.

Fig. 6 is a View of the holder section.`

Fig. 7 is a sectional detail view, showing how 3g the lower channel-shaped member may be increased in width.

Fig. 8 is a sectional view'through the tray showing a small tray therein. u

In these drawings, the numeral 1 indicates the `base and the numeral 2 indicates a tubular upright, to the upper part of which is pivoted an extension 3 as shown at 4 so that the extension can be adjusted into various positions and the vertical position. A large tray 4 has a depending ear 5 located to one side of the center, and a removable pin 6 passes through an edge portion at the upper end of the extension 3 and through said ear' for pivotally and removably connecting the tray with the upright, and in such a manner that the tray can be positioned as shown in Fig. 4, where it rests upon the upright in horizontal position, or the tray can be moved to the positionshown in Fig. 3.

A small tray which is an ash tray 7 and may be seated in the large tray and held therein by means of a threaded stud 8 on the bottom of the small tray engaging a threaded socket in the large tray as shown in Fig. 8. Y

A member 9 is slidably arranged in the upright .and a channel-shaped member 10 has an inden- (Cl. l15-60) ture 11 at one end thereof which is pivotally connected to ears on the upper end of the member 9 by a pin and slot connection shown generally at 12.

This memberV 10 forms the vbottom part of a collapsible rack shown generally at A and lconsisting of the uprights 13 pivoted to the channel member at their lower edge and having a cross piece 14 in which their upper ends are pivoted so that the parts 13 and 14 can be folded upon the channel member when desired, and then by turning the channel member into a vertical posi, tion, theentire rack can be lowered with the member 9 and to the tubular upright as shown in Fig. 5. y l

When in use, the rack A extends at right angles from the upper end of the upright as shown in Fig. l and the parts can be so positioned that the rack can be located on the opposite side of the upright from that which it occupies in Fig. 1 in-75 full lines, as shown by the dotted lines in Fig. .1.

Chains 15 are connected lto the side portions of the Vrack'and the upper edge thereof and carries clips 16 for holding papers or the like on the rack and one of these chainsfacilitates the withdrawing of the rack from the upright and graspinga portion of the same and pulling the rack assembly upwardly out of the upright.

In order to permit the rack to be used either right or left an angle shaped member 17 has a 85g slot 18 in one limb thereof which receives rivets 19 carried by the channel member so that the angle member is slidably lsupported on the channel member and can be moved outwardly as .shown in dotted lines in Fig. l when books or the like are to be used on the opposite side of the rack from which they are ordinarily used and supported by the member 10. Y

From the foregoing it will be seen that I have` provided a simple form of stand which can be used as a music rack, as a support for books, l magazines, papersV and the like, or as a tray for a smoker, or as a small table. Y

It is thought from the foregoing description that the advantages and novel features of the, invention will be readily apparent.

It is to be understood that changes maybe made in the construction and inthe combination and arrangement of the several parts providedv that such changes fall within the scope of the .l Vappended claim.

Having thus described'myinvention, what I claim as new isr- A device of the class described comprising a standard of hollow constructior'rand including an uppersection and a lower section pivotally connected together, whereby the upper'section can be moved from a vertical position to a diagonal position, an elongated member slidably arranged in the standard, a `channel bar having an extension at one end connected to the upper end of said slidable member by a pin and slot connec-V tion, whereby the channel member can be moved from a vertical position to a position at substantially right angles with the slidable member and
