A column stand for holding items comprising one or more clamps attached to the column stand, each clamp having slots in the top of the clamp, one or more trays, each tray fixedly attached to a bar, each bar fitting into a slot, a clasp attached to the top of each clamp, each clasp holding each bar to the clamp.

This disclosure describes systems, methods, and apparatus for a bipod having pivot and cant functionality built into a unified cant/pivot assembly, housing, and pivot block. Rotation of a locking knob under the housing can gradually increase or decrease friction of the cant and pivoting degrees of freedom. Sufficient loosening of the locking knob can allow a pivot block to be lifted from the housing and rotated 180?, and then retightened to lock in a given pivot position. Before this 180 rotation of the pivot block, the pivot block and hence the firearm is free to pivot up to 10?, or up to 20?, or up to 30?.

A mount that is used to attach electronic devices to a guitar stand is made of a back panel, a clamping mechanism, a support scissor mechanism, and a stand-grasping fastener. The clamping mechanism is a user-actuated clamp that uses a fixed jaw and a movable jaw to hold electronic devices against the back panel. The back panel, which is a rigid plate, is connected to the fixed jaw to further support the clamped electronic device. Additionally, the fixed jaw of the clamping mechanism is mounted onto one end of the rigid support beam. The support scissoring mechanism is an adjustable support assembly that can be locked in a desired orientation. The mount for electronic devices is capable of being attached to various other pieces of musical equipment or stage equipment because a stand-grasping fastener is affixed to a second end of the support scissor mechanism, opposite to the fixed jaw.

A piece of furniture, such as a lectern, has a shell with an opening. A rack for electronic equipment is mounted within the shell. The rack can be slid between a stowed position in which the rack is entirely within the furniture and an access position in which the rack extends through the opening and is partially outside the shell.

A fixing member includes a supporting member that supports a first bar member in the longwise direction thereof; a pivoting member that has an opening portion that the first bar member penetrates and that is attached to the supporting member to freely pivot about a rotation axis that is perpendicular to the longwise direction of the first bar member; and a fastening member that causes the pivoting member to pivot centered on the rotation axis, in which the pivoting member does not make contact with the first bar member when in a first position; the pivoting member makes contact with the first bar member when in a second position; and the fastening member fixes the pivoting member to either the first position or the second position.

Compact Stand A stand (100) for holding media, such as sheet music, is configured to move from a closed configuration to an open configuration. The stand comprises a central body portion (111), a first cover portion (112) and a first leg (120). The first cover portion (112) is moveably attached to the central body portion (111) and is moveable between a first position and a second position. In the first position the first cover portion (112) overlays the central body portion (111) and in the second position the first cover portion (112) forms a substantially continuous rack with the central body portion (111) for holding media. The first leg (120) is attached to the central body portion (111) and the central body portion (111) is shaped to define a cavity and is configured to receive the first leg, such that in the closed configuration the first leg (120) is substantially enclosed within the cavity. A telescopic leg (120) for the stand is also described.

A digital podium apparatus includes: a frame; an extended handle disposed on the digital podium frame with which change of direction of movement is actuated, wherein a user can change direction by rotating the handle; a plurality of computer tablets disposed on the digital podium frame in a multi-tablet podium top; a five-wheel base configured to move the digital podium; a framework having four pedals, wherein the two front pedals are configured to move the podium forward and the two back pedals are configured to move the podium backward; and a divider to prevent the pressure of the standing person, so that to move forward a user uses toes simultaneously by standing on the divider; and wherein the digital podium is configured to project and relay teaching material through a multi-tablet podium into classroom projectors or mini laser projector, and into a dual tablet notebook of each child in classroom.
