Described is a multi-purpose instrument and music stand. The instrument and music stand includes a base assembly having a plurality of legs. A rod projects up from the base assembly. At least one attachment tang with a pair of side recesses is pivotally attached with the rod. A tang receptor is included that selectively attaches with the attachment tang. The tang receptor is formed with a button and geared detent parts. Depressing the button causes the pair of geared detent parts to simultaneously retract from the pair of side recesses of the attachment tang, thereby allowing a user to selectively attach and detach a music holder or other item from the tang and stand.

Improvements in a tilting, lifting stand are presented. The tilt, lift stand is for a musical instrument stand or to elevate/tilt a speaker and or amplifier and rigidly supports a sousaphone brass type instruments, speaker or amplifier in an in a stored and in a playable or elevated position. The stand supports all or the majority of the weight of the instrument or speaker or amplifier in a static position to relieve the weight of the musical instrument or speaker or amplifier. The stand has legs that are extendable to rest on multiple levels as might be found in a stadium. The stand further has a securing mechanism that gently grasps a tubular section to hold the musical instrument. The speaker stand can be easily collapsed for transportation and storage.

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.

To provide a support device having preferable operability. A music stand includes a support body supporting a music. A movable body is provided at a support column of the support body to be movable. A fixed body is provided at a lower end portion of the support column. A leg body is fitted to the movable body to be rotatable. The fixed body and the leg body are connected with a connection body. The movable body has three leg fitting projections arranged in a peripheral direction of the movable body main body part. The leg body has facing portions separately facing each other with the leg fitting projection interposed.

A lightweight portable lectern consisting of four pieces designed to be assembled together without the use of tools provides a lecture or presentation aid suitable for traveling, but also provides a design suitable for mass-manufacturing processes such as injection molding. The four pieces consist of two side membersa left side member and a right side memberalong with a top member and a front member. The top member has two openings on the bottom surfaceone near the left edge, the other near the right edge. Each of the side members has a protrusion from the upper edge, designed to fit into the appropriate opening on the bottom surface of the top member. The front member has protrusions from the rear surface which are designed to fit into openings at the front edge of the two side members.
