For Even More Hooking Flexibility

Over the years since I designed and commenced manufacturing and selling the ultra-portable lap frame,  I’ve had customers ask if it could not be used on  a stand  of some sort also – like the floor frame.  I  never seriously considered this idea, but a few years ago a lap frame owner of long standing from West Virginia got my attention when she stated how much help it would be to her, with her style of hooking, if she could mount the lap frame on a stand  - and if the frame  could then easily swivel around 360 degrees.  (She said she  just gets all “wopperjawed” trying to hook  when she can’t turn her frame easily.  What a great expression!!)  This sounded intriguing, so I put some serious thought to it (that’s the most fun anyway- figuring out and designing something new) and have come up with the stand you see pictured below:
 

Specifics on the Lap Frame Stand

As you can see, the lap frame simply mounts and swivels 360 degrees to any position you desire where it can be locked down and held by tightening the center ball knob.  For those of you who already own a lap frame, all that’s required is to drill a ¼ inch hole in the middle of the base plate. That’s all. On all new purchases since March of 2000, the hole is already drilled.

As before, you retain the flexibility of tilting the hooking area to whatever angle you desire. The legs are adjustable in height to position your hooking area from 27 to 35 inches above the floor – the same as the floor stand.  The brace across the bottom and the 21 inch long feet make the stand very solid and stable.  The stand and the lap frame combined weigh approximately 7 pounds.
