Description: |
| Abstract:
This invention consists in a camera tripod o or stand of novel construction, substantially as hereinafter shown and described, and whereby the legs, which are composed of three or more sections, secure a more regular tapering and firmer support for the stand when set up, and said legs may be packed away in a smaller space or compass for transportation or storage purposes when the stand is knocked down.
Claim:
In a camera or other stand, the legs of the stand composed of three or more folding sections pivoted to each other, each upper section being of greater width than the section next below it, and each of the upper sections being of slotted or open construction to receive its attached lower section within it when io the leg is folded and being arranged to work from or around the same axial center on opposite sides. |
