  • Trap stand improvements
    Patent number: 5930943
    Abstract: This invention for trap stands having a pair of supporting legs spaced apart by cross-members for body grip traps provides an improvement by providing extensions which project beyond the legs to provide height adjustment. Sleeves attached to the extensions are sized to slideably enclose each leg. The sleeves have provisions for securing them to the legs to secure the extensions in place. Another height adjustment improvement adds sleeves to the free end of each leg which slideably enclose each extension and provide additional support and stability for the extensions. Another improvement to trap stands separates each cross-member into two opposed overlapped parts. Sleeves, which slideably enclose opposite cross-member parts, are attached at the free end of each cross-member part for width adjustment. Sleeves attached to one of the legs have provisions for securing the sleeves to the opposite enclosed cross-member parts which secures the width adjustment.
