Abstract
A lightweight and easily erectable, collapsible and storable rack system for supporting music components adjacent to associated instruments. The racks can support microphones arranged about a drum set. The rack system includes fittings for horizontal bars that are pivotally attached to one another and foldable legs for the bars that allows for the system to be easily and neatly packed away during nonuse. Microphones can be pivotally attached to extendable arms, which in turn are pivotally attached to the horizontal bars. The arms can extend upward and downward from the bars, and be bendable to allow further versatility. Power and communication cables can also run through the legs and bars to the microphones.
Claims8
A support rack for use with instruments, comprising in combination:
- a first longitudinal horizontal member;
- first leg for supporting the first longitudinal horizontal member over a floor surface;
- first leg pivotable connector for allowing the first leg to fold from a vertical position extending downward beneath the first horizontal member to a horizontal position adjacent to and parallel to the first horizontal member;
- second leg means for supporting the first longitudinal horizontal member over the floor surface and being spaced apart from the first leg means;
- second leg pivotable connector for allowing the second leg to fold from a vertical position extending downward beneath the first horizontal member to a horizontal position adjacent to and parallel to the first horizontal member;
- a first arm having a first microphone pivotally attached to an upper end of the first arm;
- first arm pivotable connector attached to a lower end of the first arm and to the first horizontal member for allowing the first arm to rotate from an upward extending position to a horizontal position with the first arm adjacent to and parallel to the first horizontal member;
- and
- an instrument set adjacent to the first longitudinal horizontal member.
A support rack for supporting microphones about drums, comprising in combination:
- a drum set;
- a first horizontal longitudinal member adjacent to the drum set;
- a second horizontal longitudinal member foldably attached to the first horizontal longitudinal member, the first and the second members wrapped about the drum set;
- legs foldably attached to the first horizontal longitudinal member and to the second horizontal longitudinal member;
- bendable spaced apart arms attached to the first and the second horizontal longitudinal members, the arms being movable from an upper position extending upward from the horizontal members to a folded position adjacent to and parallel to the horizontal members;
- and
- microphones pivotally attached to each of the arms, the arms extending above and below the first and the second horizontal longitudinal members.
