By this construction gures indicate the same parts. a very simple and effective connection is made Thls invention has for its object to provide for the public a light and portable mus'icstand, that can be adjusted at any desired height to suit the user, and that can. be folded up into small compass for convenience in transbetween the rack and the staff, andthe parts are held firm and steady when in use. The staff O, it will be observed, can be adjusted vertically within the main staff A, and secured bythe set-screw m, so as to accommodate the stand to the height or position of the user.
1n order to compact the device into small compass for convenience in transportation, the socket on the rack is disengaged from the projection on the upper extremity of the staff C by an upward-sliding movement of said rack, and the jointed members of the latter are then To this end the invention consists in a novel construction and combination of devices, which we will now proceed to particularlj7 describe.
In the drawings, A represents the main staff or body ofthe stand 5 B, the supportinglegs thereof; (l, an adjustable rod or staff, working within the main stad; and C', thev rack for holding the music.
The main staff A is preferably constructed the main staff. The inner stad' is next shoved within the main staff as far as it will go, and the screw m tightened to hold it in that position. The screw F, which confines the sliding collar D, is then loosened, and the loose ring or band E slid up off the socket a. This movement of the ring releases the shoulders d of the brace-rods, and allows said rods, together With legs B, to be turned up alongside the staff A, the whole device then assuming the consistent with the proper degree of strength. Its lower `end is provided with a socket, et, formed with three pairs of ears, c', between which are pivoted the inner ends of bracerods b, whose opposite ends are articulated near the middle of the legs B. The upper extremities of the legs are jointed to a sliding collar, D, on the main staff A.
The brace rods, at their inner ends, near their pivots, are provided with short projecting arms or shoulders d, which, when the legs are eX- tended, as shown in Fig. l, stand out from the socket a, and allow a ring or`band, E, to be slipped down between them and the socket, and thus prevent the raising of the brace arms.
` The sliding collar D may, if preferred, be locked to the main staff by means of a setsheath or case may be slipped over the stand when-` thus folded up, in order that it may be carried about from place to place more conveniently.
We are aware that a music-stand consisting Vof a staff composed of detachable jointed sections, folding supporting-legs, and a folding rack, has been heretofore devised, as will be seen by reference to the patent of L. V. Brown,
folded in togetherv and turned down against f compact form shown in Fig. 2. lf desired, a
dated August 6,1872, No.130,186, and such construction We do not therefore broadly claim herein.
Having thus described our invention, we claim as new- 1. In a 1nusic-stand,the main staff A, having the socket a at its loi'ver end, in combination with the brace-rods b, having` the shoulders d, the ring or band E, the legs B, and the sliding collar D, all constructed and arranged substantially as described.
2. The folding rack C', having the socket i, in combination with the link G and the staff C, having the slotted extension H and the projection h', substantiallvr as described.
