The rotational retaining device includes a slit through which a free end of a strap is extended. A retaining member is mounted to the other end of the buckle and has an engaging portion for releasably engaging with an engaging section of the main body. The retaining member further includes an operative portion that is operable to disengage the engaging portion of the retaining member from the engaging section of the main body.

  • Patent number: 6494419
    Abstract: A stand to support an object has a bottom frame and two side frames. The side frames are each pivotally attached to opposite ends of the bottom frame with a pair of pivot pins. The pairs of pivot pins are located at different heights. A clasp is mounted on each side frame to detachably engage the bottom frame. When the clasps are released from the bottom frame, the side frames can be pivoted relative to the bottom frame. The stand is foldable. Because the side frames are respectively pivotally attached to the bottom frame by pairs of pivot pins at different heights, one of the side frames can overlap the other side frame. The size of the stand is reduced. Transporting and storing the stand become more convenient.
