A quilt support formed of a rigid plate. The rigid plate includes a front surface and a rear surface. A gripping layer is attached to the front surface of the rigid plate. A foldable stand is pivotally attached to the rear surface of the rigid plate. The foldable stand includes a folded position and a deployed position. The folded position includes the foldable stand pivoted towards and resting against the rear surface. The deployed position includes the foldable stand pivoted away from the rear surface. The foldable stand is operable to support the rigid plate in an upright position when resting on a surface such that the rigid plate is disposed at an angle relative to the surface when in the deployed position.

A table assembly comprising at least one leg assembly including a first elongated member having a length dimension parallel to a substantially vertical extension axis and at least one second elongated member supported by the first member for sliding motion along the extension axis between extended and retracted positions, a load compensator including a spring having first and second ends supported by the second elongated member and operatively coupled to the first elongated member, respectively, a table top supported by the second member and a locking assembly including a lock housing supported by the leg assembly and forming a lock housing passageway that passes there through, a first coupler supported by the leg assembly and including at least an elongated central portion that extends through the lock housing passageway and a locking member moveable between a locked position wherein the locking member is operably linked to the first coupler to restrict movement and an unlocked position wherein the locking member is de-linked from the first coupler.

An easel is presented. The easel has a bottom and a top holder for holding a canvas, board, or other media for an artwork. The bottom and top holders are configured to be magnetically attached to a metal surface. The easel may have a rail on which the bottom and top holders may slide while attached to the surface. The rail may also have magnets to magnetically attach the rail to the surface. Alternatively, the metal surface may be an integral part of the rail or the rail may be made entirely of metal.

A stand for supporting a computing device at an elevated position is provided. The stand may support a laptop computer at a height such that a screen of the laptop computer is at or near eye-level of a user. The stand may include support arms and cross-members attached to the support arms to provide an offset to the support arms. Mounting points may be attached to ends of the support arms. The mounting points may be engageable with a base of the screen of the laptop computer such that a chassis of the laptop computer is suspended from the base of the screen.

An interretractable folding stand includes outer, inner, and top pairs of mirror-image members. Each outer member is rotatably connected to an inner member and to a top member. Inner members are connected by a first hinge, and top members are connected by a second hinge, so that when inner and top members are fully rotatably misaligned with respect to the outer pair, the first and second hinges can be opened to allow the inner and outer members to form a tripod. When open, inner members can engage top members to support the top members in an elevated horizontal plane to provide a stable surface for supporting an elongated structure or instrument such as an electric piano. When closed, outer members align in parallel to form a retracting channel for the inner and top members.

A table assembly, the assembly comprising a first member having a length dimension parallel to a substantially vertical extension axis, a second member supported by the first member for sliding motion along the extension axis between at least an extended position and a retracted position, the second member forming an internal passageway, a table top mounted to one end of one of the first and second members, a spring that generates a variable spring force that depends at least in part on the degree of spring loading, the spring having first and second ends, aligned substantially parallel to the vertical extension axis, located at least partially within the internal passage formed by the second member and linked to each of the first and second members and a rotatable cam member engaged with the spring, the cam member and spring applying a force between the first and second members tending to drive the second member into the extended position, the cam member rotating around an axis as the second member moves between the extended and retracted positions, the rate of cam member rotation changing in a non-linear fashion as the second member moves toward the extended position.
