Abstract
Abstract A support stand assembly primarily designed for the adjustable support and positioning of work articles such as macrame, woven rugs, tapestry or the like, while such work is being formed by an operator. A base has a primary support element connected thereto and extending upwardly in an elongated manner so as to maintain and adjustably position the work being formed at various heights along its length. A retaining cable and pulley assembly are cooperatively attached to one another and adjustably positioned on the head portion of the primary support element for regulating and selectively adjusting the position or height of the work relative to the height of the operator performing the work on the article.
