Adjustable tilter device used for holding objects such as musical instruments

Adjustable tilter device used for holding objects such as musical instruments comprising, in combination:

• a hollow elongated standard having an open upper end;
• a stem freely slidably insertable into said standard from said open upper end;
• a stationary tilter block coupled to the upper end of said standard and having a third through hole formed therein;
• a movable tilter block having a first through hole for receiving said stem and formed in axial alignment with said hollow elongated standard in such an arrangement that said stem is insertable into said standard through said first through hole;
• means for establishing a separable meshing engagement between said two blocks and including first serrations formed on the matching surface of said stationary tilter block and second serrations formed on the matching surface of said movable tilter block for making meshing engagement with said first serrations;
• a first cylindrical extension formed on said matching surface of said movable tilter block and accommodated snugly within said third through hole in said stationary tilter block and having a fourth through hole opening in the free end thereof;
• a set screw into said fourth threaded hole formed in said cylindrical extension from the side of said stationary tilter block;
• means for detachably securing said stem to said movable tilter block;
• and
• thereby, when said establishing means is rendered ineffective, said movable tilter block is swingable about a given center axis relative to said stationary tilter block in order to enable adjustment of the tilting direction of said stem with respect to said standard.
