OPENTECHNICAL PUBLICATION OT-2026-000001350 Combined tripod Published: 2026-09-15T19:05:15.668662Z Permanent URL: https://opentechnical.org/p/OT-2026-000001350 Categories: Industrial Components, Safety & Infrastructure > Structural Components ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ABSTRACT The present disclosure provides a combined tripod. An auxiliary frame and a main frame are combined together through a main connecting frame. When the auxiliary frame and the main frame are combined for use, the auxiliary frame is used as a center shaft and plays a role of adjusting a height; and when the auxiliary frame is separated from the main frame, two tripods with independent functions are formed. An outwards pulled buckle lock, i.e. a locking mechanism, of the main frame uses an innovative design, which is conductive for quick unfolding and folding. Three main frame legs can be as close as possible to each other, so that an occupied space is reduced. Central shaft legs of the auxiliary frame can be inserted into outer gaps between the three main frame legs; and a cross-sectional shape can be determined according to a gap envelop shape, thereby forming the most compact spatial structure. A basic structure of the auxiliary frame is a traditional structure, with a safety tail plug designed at a tail end to prevent accidental separation and slippage of the auxiliary frame. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ OpenTechnical publication OT-2026-000001350 Published 2026-09-15T19:05:15.668662Z https://opentechnical.org/p/OT-2026-000001350
