EASEL Russian patent published in 2023 - IPC A47B97/00 

FIELD: artist's folding easel.

SUBSTANCE: easel is proposed, which contains a T-shaped base, a stand with a longitudinal groove, rigidly connected to the transverse element of the base and hinged to its longitudinal element, a telescopic strut, hinged at one end to the stand and the other to the longitudinal element of the base, and mounted on the stand with the possibility of moving along it and the possibility of fixing the lower and upper holders. A feature of the proposed easel is that the stand is made of two wide bars, rigidly fixed relative to each other with formation of a gap between their narrow edges, forming a longitudinal groove of the stand, stepwise expanding on the back side of the stand due to the angular longitudinal recesses made in the bars. The design of each of the holders includes two plates with holes, one of which is equipped with a limiter shelf and is located on the front side of the stand, and the other is installed with the possibility of longitudinal movement in the extension of the longitudinal groove on the rear side of the stand, while the plates are tightened together by means of a bolted connection.

EFFECT: increase in load capacity and operational reliability of the folding design of the easel, which expands the possibilities of its use, enabling work with large canvases, while maintaining the simplicity and mobility of the design.
