Abstract
A positionable lift stand includes a support structure defining a first positioning hole, a sliding member slidably engaged with the support structure and defines a second positioning hole, an elastic member, and a fixing member. The elastic member is connected between the support structure and the sliding member, while provides a restoring force enabling the sliding member to move against the support structure. The fixing member passes through the first positioning hole of the support structure and the second positioning hole of the sliding member. By utilizing the fixing member and various positioning holes associated with the lift stand, the lift stand can be fixedly held to occupy the least amount of space for packaging or storing purpose. Such attribute is achieved by using fewer parts and processing steps, which means fewer parts need to be manufactured, more cost savings, and less assembling time.
