Quick-release clamp for releasably attaching an instrument, especially a percussion instrument, to a stand

A quick-release clamp (1) for releasably attaching an instrument to a stand, the quick-release clamp (1) comprising:

• a passage opening (14) for the stand;
• at least one movable clamping jaw (12) for changing a cross-section of the passage opening (14);
• an operating element (13) for influencing a position of the at least one clamping jaw (12);
• and
• a housing (11),
• wherein the at least one clamping jaw (12) is adjustable between a released position and a rest position,
• wherein in the rest position of the at least one clamping jaw (12) there is a form-fit connection between the at least one clamping jaw (12), the operating element (13) and the housing (11) to prevent movement of the at least one clamping jaw (12);
• wherein a spring element (15) is arranged between the housing (11) and the operating element (13) to hold the operating element (13) in a position through which the at least one clamping jaw (12) can be brought into the rest position and/or locked and no force input directly acts from the spring element (15) onto the at least one clamping jaw (12);
• and
• wherein the operating element (13) is movable relative to the housing (11) and the at least one clamping jaw (12) to separate the form-fit connection between the at least one clamping jaw (12), the operating element (13) and the housing (11) and to enable the at least one clamping jaw (12) to move into the released position.
