  • Patent number: 5082218
    Abstract: A supporting device which attaches to a wide variety of containers and exhibits a first, unobtrusive position for storing or transporting a container and a second, supporting position for holding the container in an upright orientation is disclosed. A bracket attaches either directly to the container or to a strap which in turn attaches to the container. The bracket rotationally couples to first and second legs. When the legs are in their first positions, they reside substantially parallel to each other and immediately next to the container. However, when the legs are in their second positions, they extend outward from the container and at an angle with each other. Consequently, the legs and the container form a tripod which maintains the container in the upright orientation. Various blocking structures are provided in connection with the bracket and legs to prevent rotation of the legs beyond their first and second positions.
