PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
A New or Improved Combined Music and Camera Stand.
I, GEORGE BURNETT, 24, Risk Street, Dumbarton, Scotland, Drawing Office
Caretaker, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to a new or improved combined music and camera
stand, the object being to construct the stand so that it may be used either as a
music stand or as a camera stand. In carrying out my invention I form the
legs of the stand of suitable material and which are connected together at the
upper ends by means of a socket piece. The legs are so arranged that they may
be folded together and a cap or cover screwed upon the top socket so as to main-
tain them in their folded position, when the whole may be used as a walking
stick. Suitable stay rods are provided for giving rigidity to the legs when
extended. The music holder or stand is formed of strips or sections which are
pivoted together so that it may be folded or collapsed when not in use,
music stand being provided with a socket piece which fits in the socket afore-
said when required. When desired a camera may be carried upon the socket.
