Abstract
A stand including a column that is mounted on a base section and that has at least one profiled element. A head unit which includes a pivoting element that can be tilted about a horizontal pivoting axis and can be clamped in a desired tilted position is fixed to the upper end section of the column and an upper face of the pivoting element has a receiving element. This invention provides a stable inclined position by a simple manipulation. To achieve this, the head unit includes a bolt which extends into a longitudinal cavity of the profiled element and is fixed relative to the upper end section and in which the pivoting element is mounted.
