Abstract
A device according to the present invention includes a support bracket coupled, or adapted to be coupled, to a longitudinal support member, such as a microphone stand, and a receiver extending from the support bracket. The support bracket is generally formed in a coil. The receiver may be integrally formed with the support bracket, or may be removably coupled thereto. A plurality of interchangeable receivers may also be provided.
Claims4
A device comprising:
- a support bracket, said support bracket including a longitudinal frame member extending between a first end and a second end, said longitudinal frame member being formed in a general coil shape at least partially around an axis;
- a first frame portion extending from said first end towards said second end;
- a second frame portion extending from said second end towards said first end;
- said first frame portion overlying said second frame portion, and said first frame portion spaced from said second frame portion by an insertion gap distance at a point along said first frame portion;
- and
- a receiver coupled to said support bracket, said receiver extending away from said axis;
- said longitudinal frame member being hollow.
