Adjustable folding leg for bass drum

An adjustable length leg having an upper end and a lower end comprising:

• a. a first leg member having a first wall with a first side and a second side;
• b. a second leg member adjacent said first side of said first wall and movable with respect to said first leg member in a length-adjusting direction so as to lengthen or shorten said leg;
• c. a locking member movable with respect to said second leg member in a lateral direction generally transverse to the length-adjusting direction;
• d. a clamping member separate from said clamping member adjacent said second side of said first wall and engagable with said locking member so as to move said locking member in said lateral direction toward said second leg member to apply lateral force to said second leg member;
• and
• e. a passageway between said first and second sides of said first wall, said passageway defining a downwardly facing surface oriented toward said lower end of said leg and an upwardly facing surface orientated toward the upper end of said leg, wherein said locking member is arranged in said passageway and engagable with said upwardly facing surface to prevent relative movement between said first leg member and said second leg member in a length adjusting direction, and engagable with said downwardly facing surface to prevent relative movement between said first leg member and said second leg member in a length-adjusting direction.

A folding leg assembly comprising:

• a. an elongate supporting leg member having a first end and a second end and including at least one aperture between said first and second ends;
• b. a mounting bracket interconnecting said leg member with an object to be supported;
• c. at least one pivot pin attached to said mounting bracket and received in said aperture of said leg member so as to enable said leg member to pivot about said pin;
• d. an elongate channel associated with said object, said channel having a curved floor, said first end of said leg member received in said channel, said channel having a first recessed detent in said floor;
• and
• e. said first end movable within said channel between a second position and a first position wherein said first end fits into said first detent in said floor of said channel.

A folding leg assembly comprising:

• a. an elongate supporting leg member having a first end and a second end and including at least one aperture between said first and second ends;
• b. a mounting bracket interconnecting said leg member with an object to be supported;
• c. at least one pivot pin attached to said mounting bracket and received in said aperture of said leg member so as to enable said leg member to pivot about said pin;
• and
• d. an elongate path associated with said object, said path having a arcuate concave surface facing said pin, said path defining an arc whose focus is said pivot pin, said first end of said leg member moving on said path as said leg member pivots about said pin, said path including a first recessed detent in said surface.
