## Abstract

The support comprises a board provided with multiple grooves on the upper face thereof, along which attachment brackets can be fitted for the movable control devices, pedals and similar devices on the board, allowing the different control devices to be attached by previously fixing the brackets on the grooves of the board at the required places and the subsequent fixed positioning of the control devices and pedals on the brackets, by means of attachment elements thereof. The grooves of the board have flanges along the upper edges thereof for holding the attachment elements of the brackets.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An adjustable support for control devices for electronic musical instruments, pedals or other devices, comprising:
a board comprising multiple parallel attachment grooves on an upper face of the adjustable support, and
a plurality of brackets,
wherein each of the plurality of brackets comprises a fastener to secure the bracket at a desired position in respective multiple parallel attachment grooves, the brackets configured for attaching the control devices, pedals or other devices on the board by an attachment element coupled to each of the plurality of brackets.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The adjustable support according to claim 1, wherein each multiple parallel attachment groove comprises flanges along an upper edge thereof, for holding the fastener.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The adjustable support according to claim 2, wherein each of the plurality of brackets further comprises:
a base which is movable on the board, and
a vertical arm comprising the attachment element for attaching the control devices.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The adjustable support according to claim 3, wherein the fastener comprises:
a lug inserted in an aperture in the base, and
an elongate lower head, a length in longitudinal direction of which is longer than a gap defined by the flanges in the respective multiple parallel attachment grooves and a length in transverse direction of which is shorter than the gap.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The adjustable support according to claim 4, wherein the fastener is rotatable.

### Claim 6 (depends on 4)

The adjustable support according to claim 4, wherein the lug of the attachment element of the bracket is threaded and receives a knurled nut for locking at the desired position in respective multiple parallel attachment grooves.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The adjustable support according to claim 1, wherein the attachment element is a suction pad.

### Claim 8 (depends on 4)

The adjustable support according to claim 4, wherein the elongate lower head is insertable in any groove of the board and which is held within the groove after rotation on its axis.
