Abstract
A magnetic phonograph record stabilizer is configured to hold a phonograph record in a biased contact against a turntable. The stabilizer features a base which is engaged with a magnetic housing which is moveable from a first position where magnetic attraction biases the base toward the turntable. The magnetic housing is slidable to a second position eliminating the biasing from the magnetic flux so the stabilizer can be removed from the turntable.
Claims19
A phonograph record stabilizer, comprising:
- a base, said base having a base sidewall extending from a bottom wall at a first end of said base;
- said bottom wall having a spindle opening therein, adapted to encircle a spindle of a turntable;
- said base sidewall having an interior surface defining an axial cavity extending from said bottom wall at said first end of said base to an opening in said base sidewall at a second end of said base;
- a housing, said housing having a housing sidewall extending from an endwall at a first side of said housing;
- said housing sidewall defining an internal cavity extending from said endwall at said first side of said housing to a second side of said housing;
- a magnet positioned within said internal cavity;
- a planar ring, said planar adapted for positioning underneath a turntable pad of said turntable;
- said housing in a sliding engagement of said housing sidewall within said axial cavity;
- and
- said housing translatable between a first position locating said housing endwall adjacent said bottom wall, and a second position locating said housing endwall adjacent said opening at said second side of said housing, whereby with said planar ring positioned between said turntable and said turntable pad, and with said first end of said base positioned atop said turntable pad, said magnet biases said base toward said planar ring with said housing translated to said first position.
