A stand for photographic/optical and cinematographic equipment comprises a central column (3) and a tripod base (2) for the column including three legs (4a, b, c) and respective arms (8a, b, c) for connecting the legs to the column. The base (2) comprises a first (5) and a second (9) articulation element slidable on and fixed to the column (3), respectively, with the legs articulated to the first articulation element about articulation axes substantially perpendicular to radii (21a, b, c) of the column (3). The connecting arms (8a, b, c) have their opposite ends articulated, respectively, to an intermediate portion of the corresponding leg (4a, b, c) and to the second articulation element (9), and each leg is movable from an inoperative position in which it is brought, with the corresponding connecting arm, close to the column, to an operative position in which it is opened out away from the column. The legs (4a, b, c) and the connecting arms (8a, b, c) have articulation points on the first and second articulation elements (5, 9), respectively, the articulation points having an arrangement such that, in the inoperative position with each leg brought close to the central column, the axes of the legs (4a, b, c) and of the corresponding connecting arms (8a, b, c) are approximately coplanar with the axis of the central column (3) so that the space occupied by each leg with the corresponding arm is predominantly included within the projection of the space occupied by the column.

Smoke detector shields for blocking or minimizing the transmission of light therethrough and methods for use are provided. According to one embodiment, a method for shielding a smoked detector includes shielding at least a portion of a smoke detector operationally arranged within a room, and subsequently activating a light emission device arranged within the room, while shielding the smoke detector. In order to exclude light emission devices, which are commonly used within a room for lighting and/or communication purposes, the light emission device set forth in the method is configured for generating infrared light at a radiant intensity greater than approximately 1 W/sr, and/or ultraviolet light at a radiant intensity greater than approximately 1 W/sr, and/or visible light at a luminous flux greater than approximately 3000 lumens. Embodiments of smoke detector shields that prevent such light from penetrating the housing of a shielded smoke detector are provided herein.

The invention relates to improvements made to a support that is intended for the pole of a parasol, antenna, mast or other element. The inventive device is of the type that comprises: at least three support legs which are subjected to a central force that tends to cause the legs to move towards one another; and means for opposing said movement, by means of which the legs move closer together. The means which are used to oppose the aforementioned movement comprise adjustable end pieces which rest on the sleeve that is intended to receive the pole and to which the legs are articulated.
