CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

This application claims priority to Taiwanese Invention Patent Application No. 109108433, filed on Mar. 13, 2020.

FIELD

The disclosure relates to a display stand, and more particularly to a foldable display stand.

BACKGROUND

A conventional foldable display stand (seeFIG. 17), such as a display easel, includes a base portion2, a supporting rod3fixedly disposed on the base portion2, two arms4, and two holders5respectively disposed on the arms4. Each of the arms4has an end6pivotally connected to the supporting rod3, and a free end7. When the conventional foldable display stand is used to display a painting, the arms4extend in a direction perpendicular to the supporting rod3, and the holders5are used to clamp the painting. When each of the arms4is pivoted to a position where the free end7thereof abuts against the supporting rod3and where the arm4extends in a direction substantially parallel to the supporting rod3, the conventional foldable display stand is folded for storage.

However, when the conventional foldable display stand is folded, the arms4are positioned externally of the supporting rod3and prone to swinging, which may cause a user handling the conventional foldable display stand to have their fingers caught between the arms4and the supporting rod3, thereby injuring the user. Therefore the conventional foldable display stand lacks safety. In addition, the dangling arms4are less desirable from the perspective of portability.

SUMMARY

Therefore, an object of the disclosure is to provide a foldable display stand that can alleviate at least one of the drawbacks of the prior art.

According to the disclosure, the foldable display stand includes a base, a leg unit, two restraining members and two support arm assemblies. The leg unit includes two leg tubes. Each of the leg tubes has a top part that is connected to the base. The restraining members are respectively disposed on the top parts of the leg tubes. The support arm assemblies are respectively mounted to the leg tubes. Each of the support arm assemblies includes a connecting member and a support arm. The connecting member of each of the support arm assemblies is movable along the respective one of the leg tubes, and is blocked by one of the restraining members that is disposed on the respective one of the leg tubes so as to be prevented from being separated from the respective one of the leg tubes during upward movement thereof relative to the respective one of said leg tubes. The support arm of each of the support arm assemblies has a connecting section that is pivotally connected to the connecting member of the support arm assembly, and a free section that extends from the connecting section and away from the connecting member of the support arm assembly. Each of the support arm assemblies is convertible among a storage state where the support arm of the support arm assembly is substantially retracted into the respective one of the leg tubes, a projecting state where the support arm substantially projects out of the respective one of the leg tubes and where the support arm extends along an extending axis of the respective one of the leg tubes, and a display state where the support arm extends in a direction transverse to the direction of the extending axis of the respective one of the leg tubes.
