Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim 139 words
A stand assembly for rotationally holding an object to be painted, comprising: a base; a first pivot point projection means on said base for pivotal receipt of one end of said object; an upright support extending from said base and having a plurality of selectively telescopically expandable and contractable members; locking means for holding said members in a telescoped position; an elongate pivot support perpendicularly extending from said upright support and above and in alignment with said securing projection; and a second pivot point projection means on said pivot support and alignable with said first pivot point for pivotal receipt of the other end of said object, whereby upon receipt of said object within said stand and by said pivot points, all surfaces of said object are exposed for painting and said object may be pivotally rotated during painting.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 139 words
A stand assembly for rotationally holding an object to be painted, comprising: a base; a first pivot point projection means on said base for pivotal receipt of one end of said object; an upright support extending from said base and having a plurality of selectively telescopically expandable and contractable members; locking means for holding said members in a telescoped position; an elongate pivot support perpendicularly extending from said upright support and above and in alignment with said securing projection; and a second pivot point projection means on said pivot support and alignable with said first pivot point for pivotal receipt of the other end of said object, whereby upon receipt of said object within said stand and by said pivot points, all surfaces of said object are exposed for painting and said object may be pivotally rotated during painting.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 26 words
The assembly of claim 1 whereby each of said pivot point projection means include biasing means to urge said pivot point projection means to one another.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 31 words
The assembly of claim 1 wherein said locking means comprises at least one locking pin and a plurality of pin housings extending through said each of said expandable and contractable members.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 170 words
A collapsible stand assembly for rotationally holding an object to be painted, comprising: a base; a first pivot point projection means securable on said base for pivotal receipt of one end of said object; an upright support extendable from said base and having a plurality of selectively telescopically expandable and contractable members; locking means for holding said members in a telescoped position; an elongate pivot support perpendicularly extendable from said upright support and above and in alignment with said securing projection; a second pivot point projection means insertable on said pivot support and alignable with said first pivot point for pivotal receipt of the other end of said object, one of said members being a cylindrical member; and a protrusion extending from said base and into said cylindrical member for holding the expandable and contractable members thereon, whereby upon receipt of said object within said stand and by said pivot points, all said surfaces of said object are exposed for painting and said object may be pivotally rotated during painting.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 170 words
A collapsible stand assembly for rotationally holding an object to be painted, comprising: a base; a first pivot point projection means securable on said base for pivotal receipt of one end of said object; an upright support extendable from said base and having a plurality of selectively telescopically expandable and contractable members; locking means for holding said members in a telescoped position; an elongate pivot support perpendicularly extendable from said upright support and above and in alignment with said securing projection; a second pivot point projection means insertable on said pivot support and alignable with said first pivot point for pivotal receipt of the other end of said object, one of said members being a cylindrical member; and a protrusion extending from said base and into said cylindrical member for holding the expandable and contractable members thereon, whereby upon receipt of said object within said stand and by said pivot points, all said surfaces of said object are exposed for painting and said object may be pivotally rotated during painting.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 26 words
The assembly of claim 4 whereby each of said pivot point projection means include biasing means to urge said pivot point projection means to one another.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 31 words
The assembly of claim 4 wherein said locking means comprises at least one locking pin and a plurality of pin housings extending through said each of said expandable and contractable members.
