A collapsible leg assembly that includes a first leg having an upper portion and a lower portion; a second leg having an upper portion and a lower portion; a crossbar extending between the lower portions of the first and second legs, wherein the crossbar further includes a first section and a second section that are either flexibly connected to one another or detachably connected to one another; an upper leg receptacle that is adapted to receive the upper portion of the first leg in a hinged manner and the upper portion of the second leg in a hinged manner; a first lower leg receptacle that is adapted to receive the bottom portion of the first leg in a fixed manner and the first section of the crossbar in hinged manner; and a second lower leg receptacle that is adapted to receive the bottom portion of the second leg in a fixed manner and the second section of the crossbar in hinged manner.

A multipod apparatus and a monopod tip apparatus are described. The multipod apparatus includes a plurality of legs, each of the plurality of legs formed as a leg assembly wherein each leg assembly includes an upper leg section and a lower leg section, a base coupled to the upper leg sections of the plurality of legs and including a leg lock plate and a securing mechanism engaged with the leg lock plate of the base and configured to apply pressure to the leg lock plate so as to secure each of the plurality of legs at a desirable angle. The monopod tip apparatus includes a monopod tip including a cap section and a base section and a concealable stud, wherein the cap section includes a tip cap hingedly connected to a cap body and arranged to conceal the concealable stud therein.

A support frame disposed on a support surface comprises: a support member disposed on the support surface; a top block disposed on a top end of the support member; a first moving block having a first through hole, the support member penetrating through the first through hole; and two first flexible bands, overlapped to each other, two central portions of the two first flexible bands being positioned on the top block, two ends of each of the two first flexible bands being connected with the first moving block and set on two sides of the first through hole.

A percussion instrument stand includes an instrument support structure that supports the percussion instrument; a main body that supports the instrument support structure on a support base resting on a surface. The instrument support stand also includes a dampening system that absorbs impact energy transferred to the stand by a user playing the instrument via displacement off of an equilibrium orientation. The dampening system also provides a restoring force that returns the dampening system to the equilibrium orientation.

A microphone stand structure allows an upper frame rod to be elevated automatically for adjustment to a proper elevation after a locking seat is released. A pressure rod is received and mounted in a hollow main frame rod and includes an extensible member having a top end supporting a bottom end of the upper frame rod movably inserted into the hollow main frame rod such that the whole stand height can be selectively fixed simply locking the locking seat.

A fixing bracket for a photographing device includes a rod member, a sliding member, and a plurality of supporting feet. The sliding member is slidably sleeved on an outer surface of the rod member, top ends of the plurality of supporting feet are hinged to the sliding member, and the supporting feet are swingable with respect to the sliding member, at least one limiting protrusion is disposed on the outer surface of the rod member close to a bottom end of the rod member, the at least one limiting protrusion is configured to block the sliding member or the supporting feet from sliding towards the bottom end of the rod member, the at least one limiting protrusion is disposed between the sliding member and the bottom end of the rod member. When the sliding member slides towards the bottom end of the rod member, the supporting feet are gradually unfolded.

A standing tool includes a body, a telescoping arm, a head unit, a cable, and a guide rod. The telescoping arm defines an axis therethrough and includes a base end coupled to the body and a distal end movable with respect to the base end. The head unit is coupled to the distal end of the telescoping arm and movable together therewith. The cable of the standing tool includes a first end fixed relative to the body, and a second end opposite the first end that is fixed relative to the head unit. The guide rod is coaxially aligned with the axis of the telescoping arm such that at least a portion of the cable is wrapped around the guide rod.

An arm support for blood pressure monitoring, including an adjustable-height stand with a number of legs that support an upwardly-extending post. An arm-supporting saddle is fixed in position at the top of the post. The saddle has an upper arm-support surface that is configured to support an arm of a user. The top of the post is adjustable in height relative to the legs, to allow the saddle to be positioned at an appropriate height such that the user's arm when supported by the saddle is in a horizontal position.

A device includes a housing with a recessed area and a raised peripheral section surrounding the recessed area, wherein the recessed area is recessed with respect to the raised peripheral section. A gripping mechanism is provided in the recessed area. The gripping mechanism is adjustable to hold portable electronic devices of a plurality of different sizes. A light source is provided in the raised peripheral section, to emit light from the raised peripheral section.

A holder includes a body defining two prongs joined with each other at proximal ends thereof, each prong from two prongs has a distal end. The holder defines a hollow interior defined by the two prongs and an opening between distal ends, the opening being in an open communication with the hollow interior. A pivot is provided on a distal end of one prong from the two prongs. A protrusion is provided on a distal end of another prong from the two prongs. A rigid retainer may be provided in a pivot connection at the pivot and in a detachable connection at the protrusion. The holder may be designed with a pivot to independently pivot about a mounting member in each of a vertical and a horizontal plane.
