  • Patent number: 11371648
    Abstract: A positioning structure for tripod stand for quickly releasing a clamping state, comprising a main tube, upper, middle and lower binding sleeves and three support rods. The binding sleeves are sleeved on the main tube to rotate freely. The middle binding sleeve comprises a sliding slot provided with an upper clamping column, a lower clamping column and a spring. The upper and lower clamping columns are connected with upper and lower pressing keys protruding out of the middle binding sleeve. When the pressing keys are pressed, the spring is compressed and the clamping columns no longer protrude from the upper and lower sides of the middle binding sleeve. The clamping state can be released and the support rods of the binding sleeves can be freely rotated by pressing the binding keys, so that the three support rods can be rotated to a storage position or an unfolding position.
