Abstract
The present invention concerns a device comprising a tray and a fastener for releasably attaching the tray to a music instrument, in particular a drum. The device preferably comprises two or more articulations adapted for adjusting and locking a position of the tray with respect to the fastener. The tray comprises a support surface the orientation of which is adjustable in such a manner so as to be able to prevent said object placed loosely on said support surface from falling down under the force of gravity. Preferably, the tray can be folded down when not being used for saving space.
Claims20
A device comprising:
- a tray,
- a fastener suitable for fastening the tray, at the option of a user, to one selected from the group consisting of:
- (a) a drum hoop and (b) a bar, and,
- first and second articulations adapted for adjusting and blocking a position of the tray with respect to the fastener, wherein said first and second articulations define first and second axis of rotation (x, y), respectively, which are substantially extending perpendicular to each other,
- wherein said tray comprises a support surface adapted for putting an object on said tray, wherein said fastener comprises a first jaw and a second jaw, provided for clamping said drum hoop and/or said bar,
- wherein at least one of said first and second jaws is provided movable relative to the other jaw along a third axis (z), said third axis (z) extending substantially perpendicular to both, said first and second axis (x, y) when said bar is clamped so as to extend substantially in parallel to said second axis (y),
- wherein the device comprises a linkage bar, which is connected to said fastener at a first articulation and to said tray via a second articulation, wherein said first and/or said second articulation comprise a blockable pivot joint and/or an adjustable pivot joint.
A fastener suitable for clamping an object, to a drum hoop or to a bar, said fastener comprising first and second jaws, a fastener further comprising a housing or guiding rail,
- wherein said first jaw is provided movable relative to the second jaw along a first tray, to a drum hoop or to a bar, said fastener comprising first and second jaws, said axis (y) in said housing or guiding rail,
- wherein said second jaw is rigidly connected to said housing or guiding rail,
- wherein said first and second jaws are further provided for clamping said drum hoop and/or said bar extending substantially along a second axis (y), said second axis being perpendicular to said first axis (x),
- wherein said fastener further comprises a shaft extending along a third axis (z), perpendicular to both, said first and second axis (x, y), said shaft being rigidly connected on said fastener and defining a rotation axis for said object connected to said fastener.
