Abstract

A support stand includes a mounting assembly mountable on a table top, a suspension arm coupled to a rod member of the mounting assembly to hold a rotary barrel, a swinging arm pivotally connected to the rotary barrel of the suspension arm, a stretcher mounted in a frame bar of the swinging arm and a holder frame assembly coupled to the swinging arm to support an object. The stretcher includes a sleeve coupled to arched sliding slots of the frame bar of the swinging arm by a pivot pin, a connection frame plate pivotally coupled between the pivot pin and a mounting lug at the rotary barrel, a spring member and an adjustment screw assembly mounted in the sleeve for allowing adjustment of the elevation of the supported object with less effort and positive positioning of the supported object after an elevation adjustment.

Claims (10)

1. A support stand, comprising a suspension arm, a holder frame assembly for supporting an object and a swinging arm coupled between said suspension arm and said holder frame assembly, wherein said swinging arm comprises a frame bar, said frame bar comprising a bottom pivot pin transversely disposed at a bottom end thereof and pivotally connected to a mounting lug of said suspension arm, two sliding slots respectively and obliquely located on two opposite sidewalls thereof above said bottom pivot pin, and two mounting lugs bilaterally extended from a top end thereof in a parallel manner for the mounting of said holder frame assembly, and

a stretcher mounted in said frame bar of said swinging arm, said stretcher comprising a sleeve, said sleeve having a pivot pin transversely disposed at a bottom end thereof and coupled to and movable along said sliding slots of said frame bar of said swinging arm and a stop flange extending around the periphery above the pivot pin thereof, a connection frame plate pivotally coupled between the pivot pin at the bottom end of said sleeve and said suspension arm, and a spring member mounted around said sleeve and stopped between said stop flange of said sleeve and apart of said frame bar of said swinging arm.

2. The support stand as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said frame bar is a hollow bar; said sliding slots of said frame bar are smoothly arched.

3. The support stand as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said frame bar of said swinging arm further comprises a top stop wall connected between the two mounting lugs at the top end thereof and an axle hole cut through said top stop wall; a stretcher is mounted in said frame bar of said swinging arm, said stretcher comprising a sleeve, said sleeve having a pivot pin transversely disposed at a bottom end thereof and coupled to and movable along said sliding slots of said frame bar of said swinging arm and a stop flange extending around the periphery above the pivot pin thereof, a connection frame plate pivotally coupled between the pivot pin at the bottom end of said sleeve and said swinging arm, a spring member mounted around said sleeve and stopped between said stop flange of said sleeve and said top stop wall of said frame bar of said swinging arm and an adjustment screw assembly mounted in said sleeve, said adjustment screw assembly comprising a stop plate suspending inside said frame bar of said swinging arm and stopped above the top end of said spring member below said top stop wall of said frame bar, a screw rod inserted through said axle hole on said top stop wall of said frame bar and said stop plate into the inside of an inner tube, a cone head block mounted said screw rod and stopped between said top stop wall of said frame bar and said stop plate, and an adjustment nut threaded onto said screw rod and stopped at a top side of said top stop wall of said frame bar.

4. The support stand as claimed in claim 3 , wherein said cone head block comprises a bottom nut threaded onto said screw rod.

5. The support stand as claimed in claim 3 , wherein said stretcher further comprises an inner tube fixedly connected to a bottom side of said stop plate and inserted into said sleeve inside said spring member.

6. The support stand as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said swinging arm further comprises a front panel arranged at a front side relative to said frame bar, and two cover shells respectively arranged at left and right sides relative to said frame bar and said front panel.

7. The support stand as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said holder frame assembly comprises a steering shaft pivotally connected between the two mounting lugs of said frame bar of said swinging arm, and a holder frame plate coupled to said steering shaft.

8. The support stand as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said suspension arm comprises a rotary barrel disposed at one end thereof; the mounting lug of said suspension arm is fixedly located on the periphery of said rotary barrel to support said bottom pivot pin of said frame bar of said swinging arm.

9. The support stand as claimed in claim 8 , wherein said suspension arm further comprises a mounting barrel fixedly located on an opposite end thereof and slidably sleeved onto a vertical rod member of a mounting assembly.
