A mountain bike support stand made of a centrally-positioned, elongate body and four support legs attached to the bottom end of the elongate body is described. The centrally-positioned, elongate body has a top end, a bottom end, an opening along the elongate body from the bottom end to the top end, and a central, hollow core. The top end of the elongate body has a notch for engagement with a bottom bracket axle of a mountain bike. The top end of the elongate body also contacts a bottom bracket shell of the mountain bike. The opening along the elongate body and the central, hollow core of the elongate body accommodate a crank arm of a mountain bike. The four support legs attach to the bottom end of the elongate body and each support leg has a free end.
A collapsible stand for bicycle includes a body having a first end, a second end, and a chamber which can receive a crank of a bicycle. A positioning device is movable in the chamber and selectively lockable at the first and the second end of the body. Two supporting legs, each supporting leg includes a first end being pivotally connected with the positioning device and a second end adapted to abut against a supporting surface, wherein the supporting legs are received in the body when the positioning device is at first end of the body, wherein the supporting legs are exposed from the body when the positioning device is at second end of the body.
A mirror assembly for a vehicle is securable to a tubular member that defines a central axis and is secured to the vehicle. The mirror assembly comprises a clamping assembly including a concave surface that is engagable with the tubular member. A housing is coupled to the clamping assembly and supports a mirror. A latching assembly engages the clamping assembly and the housing and is movable between a latched position and an unlatched position. In the latched position, the housing is held substantially fixed with respect to the tubular member. In the unlatched position, the clamping assembly is movable in a direction substantially parallel to the central axis and is pivotable about the central axis, and the housing is pivotable with respect to the clamping assembly about a pin axis that is substantially perpendicular to the central axis.
A bipod for a firearm, or other equipment utilizing a multiple-leg pod, is provided that features easy, snap-apart and snap-together legs and snap-on and snap-off connection of the bipod to a ball or knob on the firearm or other equipment. The legs are preferably received in bores/holes in the bipod body and, during snapping in and out, the legs move past protrusions that restrict movement of the legs between different lobes of the bores/holes. The ball joint formed between the ball/knob and the main body of the bipod serves as preferably the only connection that moves during use by the shooter. As the shooter swivels, tilts, or pans the gun, the ball/knob attached to the firearm moves in the top socket of the main body of the bipod, with the legs being stationary relative to the main body.
