First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
We claim: 1 . A stand for supporting an object, the stand comprising: a plurality of legs; a plurality of rails supported by the plurality of legs; and a securing mechanism attached to one of the rails; where the securing mechanism is configured to pivot about an axis of rotation between a locked position and an unlocked position; where the securing mechanism includes a handle that allows the securing mechanism to be pivoted by hand and without the use of tools between the locked position and the unlocked position, and where the handle is configured to move when the securing mechanism is pivoted between the locked position and the unlocked position; where the securing mechanism further includes at least one arm, where the arm is configured to secure the object to the stand when in the locked position, and where the arm is connected to the handle to move with the handle; and where the securing mechanism is configured to pivot 180 degrees or less between the locked and unlocked positions. 2 . The stand of claim 1 , where the handle is configured to move out from one of the rails when the securing mechanism is pivoted from the locked position to the unlocked position, and is configured to move toward that rail when the securing mechanism is pivoted from the unlocked position to the locked position. 3 . The stand of claim 1 , where one of the rails includes a cutout to provide clearance to grasp the handle when the securing mechanism is in the locked position. 4 . The stand of claim 3 , where one of the rails is a front rail, and where the cutout is in the front rail. 5 . The stand of claim 1 , where one of the rails is a front rail, and where the securing mechanism is attached to the front rail.
