Abstract: A foldable multi-instrument stand includes: a first main support leg; a second main support leg; a first pair of vertical support members configured for pivotal movement into an upright orientation relative to the first and second main support legs when the stand is in a deployed position; and a second pair of vertical support members configured for pivotal movement into an upright orientation relative to the first and second main support legs when the stand is in the deployed position. The first main support leg and the second main support leg each define one more support ledges for accommodating and providing support to multiple instruments when the stand is in the deployed position. The areas above such support ledges further define cavities for receiving the pairs of vertical support members when the stand is in a storage position.

Abstract: A stand for supporting an object comprises: a first main support leg; a second main support leg; a first vertical support member pivotally connected to the first main support leg; and a second vertical support member pivotally connected to the second main support leg, such that first and second vertical support members can be rotated relative to the first and second main support legs to configure the stand in a storage position or a deployed position. The stand further comprises a hinge that operably joins the first vertical support member to the second vertical support member. The stand further comprises a first rear leg configured for sliding movement relative to the first main support leg between a retracted position and an extended position; and a second rear leg configured for sliding movement relative to the second main support leg between a refracted position and an extended position.

Abstract: A foldable guitar stand includes: two main support legs; two vertical support members; two rear legs; and a brace. With respect to each side of the guitar stand, one main support leg, one vertical support member, and one rear leg pivot relative to each other about a common axis defined by a pin. The first vertical support member is then operably joined to the second vertical support member by a hinge, and the brace extends between and further connects the vertical support members. In a deployed position, each of the main support legs is rotated about the respective axes defined by the pins to a position in which a substantially flat foot portion of the main support legs can engage the underlying ground surface. Each of the rear legs is rotated away from the respective main support legs to a position in which the respective foot portions can engage the underlying ground surface. The two vertical support members (which are hinged together) are then rotated into an upright orientation.
