[ We claim:] [1.] A high load support stand comprising:(A) a generally rectangular front member comprising a top edge, a bottom edge, two side edges, a rear side and a front side;(B) a pair of generally rectangular side members, each side member comprising a top edge, a bottom edge, a front edge, a
[ We claim:] [1.] A high load support stand comprising:(A) a generally rectangular front member comprising a top edge, a bottom edge, two side edges, a rear side and a front side;(B) a pair of generally rectangular side members, each side member comprising a top edge, a bottom edge, a front edge, a back edge and an interior side, said side members being the same height as said front member and being pivotally joined perpendicularly to said front member such that each of said side edges of said front member abuts said interior side of one of said side members, and each of said side members having a slot adjacent said back edge and extending from said top edge toward said bottom edge;(C) hinge members connected to said rear side of said front member and said interior sides of said side members and joining said front member to said side members such that said side members are pivotable to a position parallel with said front member when said support stand is not assembled;(D) a generally rectangular bottom member comprising a front edge, a back edge, two side edges, an interior side, detent members and a flange member, said flange member connected to said front edge and said side edges and extending above said interior side of said bottom member, and said detent members positioned on said interior side of said bottom member with at least one detent member located a distance from said front edge of said bottom member approximately equal to the width of said front member and with at least one detent member located a distance from one of said side edges of said bottom member approximately at least equal to the width of one of said side members and with at least one detent member located a distance from the other of said side edges of said bottom member approximately at least equal to the width of the other of said side members whereby the combination of said flange member and said detent members define receiving channels which receive the bottom edges of said front member and said side members therein;(E) a generally rectangular top member comprising a front edge, a back edge, two side edges, an interior side, detent members and a flange member, said flange member connected to said front edge and said side edges and extending below said interior side of said top member, and said detent members positioned on said interior side of said top member with at least one detent member located a distance from said front edge of said top member approximately equal to the width of said front member and with at least one detent member located a distance from one of said side edges of said top member approximately at least equal to the width of one of said side members and with at least one detent member located a distance from the other of said side edges of said bottom member approximately at least equal to the width of the other of said side members whereby the combination of said flange member and said detent members define receiving channels which receive the top edges of said front member and said side members therein; and(F) a generally rectangular back brace member having a top edge and two side edges, where said side edges of said back brace member fit within said slots of said side members such that said top edge of said back brace member is even with said top edges of said side members;whereby said support stand is assembled such that said bottom edges of said front member and said side members are inserted into said receiving channels of said bottom member, said back brace member is inserted into said slots of said side members, and said top member is placed onto said front member and side members such that said top edges of said front member and said side members are inserted into said receiving channels of said top member, such that no additional mechanical fasteners or adhesives are required to construct said support stand.
