Abstract

The stand has a support ring (2), from which three main pillars (3) and three retaining lugs (4) with a concave curved inner surface to retain a conga extend away, where a radius of curvature of the concave curved surface of the lugs is larger than a radius of curvature of the ring and/or the conga to be retained. The lugs are formed by rubber or plastic units. The lugs are formed as an extension of the pillars having a flat profile material. The material exhibits a twist amounting to 180 degrees in an area of a lower end.
