(1) Field of Invention
The present invention relates to an instrument stand and, more particularly, to an instrument stand having multiple legs and stabilizers.
(2) Description of Related Art
Instruments stands have long been known in the art and are commonly used to hold and/or elevate a variety of instruments. For example, microphone stands are commonly used to hold a microphone at mouth level. As another example, guitar hangers are often used to hang a guitar by its neck for both storage and easy retrieval. Such a guitar hanger was disclosed in U.S. Patent Publication No 2008/0060498 (the '498 publication). The '498 publication discloses a traditional guitar hanger stand that includes a tri-pod like device with a pair of prongs for hanging the guitar. While functional for simple display and storage, the tri-pod style (as disclosed in the '498 publication) is not stable and could result in damage of the instrument if tipped over.
Thus, a continuing need exists for an improved instrument stand.
