  • Patent number: 5375497
    Abstract: An adjustable portable stand, for supporting an elongate instrument (such as a guitar) by its base in a generally upright orientation, includes a multileg assembly including at least first and second vertically extending rigid legs disposed at a relative angle. First and second supports project outwardly from the first and second legs, respectively, for cooperatively supporting the base of an elongated instrument thereon, each of the supports being independently adjustable along the longitudinal axis of its respective leg and fixable at a selected point therealong. The supports are independently adjustable in height relative to the assembly to compensate for any bilateral asymmetry in the instrument base and thereby cooperatively maintain the instrument in a generally upright orientation.
