Specifically, the elastic portion 12 can be elastically pressed against the side of plurality of legs 13 facing the main rod 10 when the plurality of legs 13 is gathered up. The first clamping member 131 and the second clamping member 111 being in an engaged state when the plurality of legs 13 is gathered up, so that the elastic portion 12 can't release its energy. When the key 11 is pressed, thereby causing the first clamping member 131 to disengage from the second clamping member 111, so that the elastic portion 12 is no longer constrained by the first clamping member 131 and the second clamping member 111. Therefore, the elastic portion 12 will release its energy to unfold the plurality of legs 13. That is, it is only to press the key 11, the plurality of legs 13 is automatically pop open, which is very conveniently used, rather than requiring one hand to press the key 11 and the other hand to remove the legs 13 in the related art.

Specifically, the base 121 and the plurality of elastic arms 122 integrated with each other can effectively reduce the number of components, which not only reduces complexity of the elastic portion 12, but also lowers assembly and production costs.
Referring to
Specifically, because the crimping portion 1223 is spaced apart from the connecting portion 1221 along the radial direction of the main rod 10, so that a deformation space is formed between the crimping portion 1223 and the connecting portion 1221. Therefore, when the plurality of legs 13 is rotated along the reverse direction to be gathered up, the side 1301 of each of the plurality of legs 13 that faces the main rod 10 can press against the crimping portion 1223 to drive the crimping portion 1223 to move close to the connecting portion 1221. At this time, the deformation portion 1222 will undergo elastic deformation, causing the elastic arm 122 to store energy. When the key 11 is pressed, the deformation portion 1222 releases its energy, thereby causing the crimping portion 1223 to move away from the connection portion 1221. Furthermore, because the crimping portion 1223 abuts against the side 1301 of each of the plurality of legs 13 facing the main rod 10, the plurality of legs 13 will pop open when the crimping section 1223 moves, in this way, it does not need to press the key 11 by one hand and remove the plurality of legs 13 by the other hand in the related art, which is very conveniently used.

Specifically, when the plurality of legs 13 is in a storage state, the barb 1111 will hook the wall 13111 of the groove 1311 to prevent the plurality of legs 13 from rotating relative to the main rod 10, thereby locking the plurality of legs 13. After the key 11 is pressed, the barb 1111 will gradually move towards the top 102 of the main rod 10 until the barb 1111 disengages from the groove 1311 to unlock the plurality of legs 13.
Referring to
Specifically, the arc-shaped wall 13111 is provided and the hook surface 11111 is adapted to the shape of the wall 13111, and the central angle a of the hook surface 11111 is smaller than that of the wall 13111. Therefore, even if a rotation angle of the key 11 is non-aligned during assembling the key 11, or the key 11 rotates under an action of an external force in a later stage, it can still ensure a good contact between the hook surface 11111 and the wall 13111.

Specifically, by implementing the embodiment of the present disclosure, when pressing the key 11, the key 11 can move towards the top 102 of the main rod 10. At this time, the screwing post 112 slides along the through-hole 141 for guiding the screwing post 112. When the key 11 resets, a head 152 of the first screwing member 15 abuts against the seat 14 to ensure that the key 11 does not separate from the seat 14.
In a specific embodiment of the present disclosure, the bracket 100 further includes a spring 16 clamped between the seat 14 and the key 11. In this way, when the pressure applied on the key 11 is stopped, a deformation of the spring 16 can be configured to drive the key 11 to reset.
In order to avoid displacement from being occurred on the spring 16 after the spring is used repeatedly, or even lead to the spring failure, in the specific embodiment, the spring 16 is sleeved on the screwing post 112. By setting it this way, the screwing post 112 can limit a position of the spring 16, thereby avoiding a deviation from being occurred on the spring 16 after the spring 16 is used for many times.
