Abstract

A collapsible support structure supports a frame in a horizontal position, a vertical position or an intermediate position halfway between the horizontal and the vertical position. The support structure is adjustable in all positions of the frame to position the frame at different heights depending on a particular need. The frame is held by a clamping assembly which can accommodate various designs and sizes of frames. The support structure can be switched from an open position where it supports the frame in a variety of positions to a collapsed position where the overall size of the support structure is minimized to simplify the transportation and storage of the support structure.
