Tone arm holder

A tone arm holder, comprising:

• a saddle having a top surface and a first side edge and a second side edge;
• a hook member with two ends, one of the ends being connected to the second side edge of the saddle;
• the hook member defining an open end facing the first side edge of the saddle;
• a resilient dividing member, having a resilient force, located on the top surface of the saddle and positioned between the first side edge and second side edge of the saddle;
• the resilient dividing member, a portion of the saddle between the resilient dividing member and the second side edge and the hook member defining a lock seat configured and arranged for frictional engagement, receipt and storage of a tone arm therein;
• the resilient dividing member, a portion of the saddle between the resilient dividing member and the first side edge of the saddle defining a performance seat configured and arranged for freely supporting a tone arm whereby a tone arm may be placed on and removed from the performance seat without frictional engagement of the tone arm to the holder;
• whereby a tone arm is freely movable between the performance seat at a first position and the lock seat at a second position by traversing across the resilient dividing member by exceeding the resilient force of the resilient dividing member.
