Abstract:
A mobile stand for supporting an object in an elevated position above a floor, said stand comprising:a rigid frame including a normally horizontally extending base including a plurality of legs, and a normally upwardly extending mast adjacent a rear of the frame, said mast being operable to releasably support an object in overhanging relationship to the base; a plurality of floor-engaging stabilizer feet projecting downwardly from the base for spacing the base a distance above the floor; and a pair of laterally spaced transport wheels on the base at the rear of the frame, said transport wheels projecting downwardly below said base but being recessed above said feet such that the wheels do not contact the floor when all of the feet are engaging the floor, said group of feet including a pair of rear feet offset forwardly from the wheels for serving as a fulcrum about which the frame may be selectively tilted back to bring the wheels down into contact with the floor, said offset between the rear feet and the wheels permitting the wheels to become the fulcrum for the frame after the wheels have contacted the floor whereby further tilting back of the frame results in raising all feet off the floor and supporting of the frame by the wheels.
