1. A floor stand (1) for clamping and putting up a panel-shaped object (2), the floor stand comprising:
a foot (3) for placing the floor stand (1) on a floor surface (4),
a beam (5) which is connectable to the foot (3) and, upon connection to the foot (3), is arrangeable on a floor such that the beam (5) extends in a direction transversely to the floor surface (4), and
a clamping device (6) comprising
a lower clamp (7) with an object mounting surface (8) and a lower projection (9) transverse to the object mounting surface (8), and an upper clamp (10) with an object contacting surface (11) and an upper projection (12) transverse to the object contacting surface (11), the upper clamp being connectable with the beam (5), and
a fixing device for fixing the clamping device (6) to the beam (5),
wherein the panel-shaped object (2) is
mountable onto the object mounting surface (8),
contactable with the object contacting surface (11) and
clampable to the beam (5) by the clamping device (6),
such that the panel-shaped object (2) is supported by the floor stand on the floor,
the foot (3) comprises an outrigger (30) which is configured to stabilize the floor stand such that, with the panel-shaped object (2) clamped to the beam (5) by the clamping device (6), the panel-shaped object (2) is installable on the floor stand free-standing on the floor surface (4),
the beam (5) is a telescopic beam (25) and includes a base part (26) and a telescopic part (27), wherein the telescopic part (27) is telescopically moveable away from and towards the base part (26) and lockable to the base part (26) in different positions relative to the base part (26) by the fixing device, and
the upper clamp (10) comprises a mounting (28) which, with the foot (3) connected to the telescopic beam (25), is configured to be
slipped onto the telescopic part (27) in a direction parallel to the telescopic beam (25) and towards the foot (3), and
fixed by the fixing device to the telescopic part (27).
