Abstract

A folding tripod, characterized by comprising an inverted truncated cone, integral with the end of the vertical column that is to be supported, whose washer radially protrudes the pairs of lugs between which they fit and to which the ends of the plates freely articulate metallic elements constituting the integral legs of the tripod, which are able to swing between a reframed position, in which the elastic plugs provided at the ends thereof abut the said column and a deployed position in which the stop it is established between the extreme edge of the indicated legs and the expressed frustoconical washer; with the feature, moreover, that a threaded rod projects axially from said column, on which a nut threatens, the upper part of which has two frustoconical zones of different inclination, one of which is intended to rest against the lower longitudinal edge of the legs. Legs, when they occupy their unfolded position and the nut is screwed down, immobilizing them in this position while the other is intended to rest against a chamfered area provided at the end of the legs, when these occupy their retracted and threaded position the nut, also immobilizing them in this position.
