Abstract: A tripod has an upright rod, a stationary rod, a rotatable rod, a slidable rod, and a positioning assembly. Connecting ends of the stationary rod, the rotatable rod, and the slidable rod are mounted to the upright rod. The positioning assembly is mounted inside the upright rod and includes a locking element and at least one compression spring. The rotatable rod is able to pivot to allow a positioning hole of the rotatable rod to align with a first through hole of the upright rod. As a height position of the slidable rod is adjusted, the locking element is pushed by the at least one compression spring to allow the locking element to fix the rotatable rod at the specific angular position. Accordingly, it is convenient and time saving for a user to unfold or fold the tripod.

Abstract: A tripod has a mounting seat, a mounting assembly, and a base. The mounting seat has two engaging protrusions disposed next to each other, two engaging recesses disposed next to each other, and two engaging members resiliently mounted respectively in the engaging recesses. The mounting assembly has a retractable rod mounted through the mounting seat. The base is connected to a lower end of the retractable rod. When combining multiple tripods, the engaging protrusion of the mounting seat of one tripod is mounted into the engaging recess of the mounting seat of another tripod. Thus, the tripods can be arranged as a cuboid to reduce space that the tripods occupy for the convenience of storage.

Abstract: A multi-leg stand mainly includes a vertical main tube and a tripod structure connected to a lower end of the main tube. The tripod structure includes an inner tube around which a locking element and three unions are sequentially mounted from top to bottom. Three legs are separately connected at inner ends to the three unions. When the locking element engages with the first union at a first locking position, the three legs are folded to locate at the same side of the main tube, and when the locking element engages with the first union at a second locking position, the three legs are equally angularly spaced and radially extended. And, when the locking element is in a releasing position on the inner tube, the three unions may be freely turned in one direction with only one hand to quickly and accurately move into the folded or the spaced position.
