Abstract
Abstract This specification discloses an extensible stand designed primarily for the support of typewriters. The stand comprises two complemental assemblies adjustable horizontally relative to one another. Each assembly comprises a vertical standard, a base or pedestal at the lower end of the standard, a table at the upper end of the standard, and two horizontal tubular supports. One of these supports extends laterally from the upright just below the table and the other extends laterally from the midpoint of the pedestal. The tubular supports of one assembly are telescopically received in those of the other assembly and mechanism is provided for locking these supports in an adjusted position. The present invention relates to extensible stands intended for the support of typewriters and is concerned primarily with a stand that is mobile, has a high degree of stability, is readily adjustable to accommodate a typewriter of a particular size, and is easily locked in an extended position.
