An interretractable stand includes outer and inner pairs of mirror-image members. Each member of the outer pair rotatably connects to a member of the inner pair. The members of the outer pair are hingedly connected, and the members of the inner pair are hingedly connected, so that the inner pair when fully rotatably misaligned with respect to the outer pair allows the inner and outer pairs to be hingedly separated to an open position, and so that the inner pair when fully rotatably aligned with respect to the outer pair rests between members of the outer pair in a closed position. When open the outer members provide two tripod feet and a backrest, and the inner members provide a third tripod foot and a carriage, forming a stand for supporting a musical instrument, canvas, book, or board. When closed the inner members align between the outer members for easy carrying and storage. A top pair of mirror-image hingedly connected members may be rotatably connected to respective outer pair members to extend the backrest.

In one aspect, an apparatus is adapted to support a mobile electronic device such as, for example, a tablet computer. In another aspect, the apparatus includes a case and a stand adapted to be detachably coupled to the case, the apparatus having a first configuration in which the stand is detachably coupled to the case, and a second configuration in which the stand is detached from the case. In another aspect, the stand is adapted to support the mobile electronic device in an easel-like fashion when the apparatus is in either the first configuration or the second configuration. In another aspect, a kit includes first and second stands adapted to respectively support first and second mobile electronic devices having different sizes; and a case to which each of the first and second stands is adapted to be detachably coupled. In another aspect, the kit is a retail display kit.

A door stop element for an aircraft door has a body which is formed at least approximately L-shaped, and which has at least one contact area on the outer side of one of the legs for fixed contact on the aircraft fuselage, and a stop surface on the inner side of the other leg for the aircraft door. The body has a cavity, on the inner side of which adjacent to the stop surface a rib is provided, which extends through the stop surface symmetrically on both sides of the longitudinal median plane that extends perpendicular to the stop surface.

One embodiment provides a system, including: an image display device comprising: a front side, a back side, a top side, a bottom side, a left side, and a right side; and a first guide mechanism disposed on the back side; a housing, comprising a base and an upper element; the upper element comprising: a groove running lengthwise and open at both ends; a back-plate running lengthwise and adjacent to the groove; and the back-plate having a second guide mechanism; wherein the image display device interfaces with the housing via the first guide mechanism and the second guide mechanism. Other aspects are described and claimed.

A wall mounting device especially made for the 360 Degree Rotating Easel so that the easel can be mounted on a wall to save space and the need for a tripod-based floor or tabletop easel. The wall mount also enables variable height adjustments of the mounted work piece by means of a sliding inner arm encased by the wall mount chassis which then attaches to the wall and the easel.
