Abstract
Abstract An easily foldaway stand comprises of two pairs of legs which can be moved upward freely and plugged into the respective counter parts prefixed on the two sides of the base of an oven or a table. Furthermore, a bar is fixed horizontally on tips of each pair of legs. When the legs of the stand stretch out uprightly, the said two bars will parallel match the respective prefixed on the two sides of the base of an oven or a table. Hence the prefixed bars and prefixed shelves can be fastened together by applying screws or fasten latch etc. to achieve the stability of the legs to stretch out uprightly.
