  • a supporting on an inner side of the support frame 11 spring 53 engages on the underside of the bending element 51 in a groove 56 and acts on the second latching means 53 with a latching spring force in the direction of the first latching means 141.
  • the spring 53 is designed as a wire bow, for example with a diameter of 3 mm, which has two pairs of spring legs 54 and a pair of spring leg pairs 54 connecting cross member 55 which snaps into the groove 56 of the flexure 51.
  • the axis 180 of the pivot joint 18 is inserted laterally into the axial openings of the support frame 11, wherein the spring leg ends 57 engage in a circumferential groove 181 of the hollow shaft 180, to secure them against slipping axially.
  • FIG. 9 The assembly process of the pivot joint 18 with the latching mechanism 50 is in FIG. 9 represented by arrows, wherein first the spring 53 is inserted from below into a receiving opening of the cross member 19 and the support bracket 14 from above and then the axis 180 is inserted laterally. The spring 53 and thus the bending element 51 is biased in the installed state by the spring leg pairs 54 are easily bent.
  • FIG. 10 is a musical instrument stand 1 with the snapped in the second end position P2 investment bracket 14 is shown. In this position P2, the musical instrument stand 1, for example, can be practically transported, stored to save space and in particular placed on the foot elements 110.
  • two or four floor rollers may be provided on the rack 10 for pulling or sliding the musical instrument stand 1.
  • FIG. 11 an embodiment of the musical instrument stand 1 with telescopic support arms 16, 17 is shown.

  • FIG. 11 a telescoped position is shown.
  • Telescopic support arms 16, 17 allow a smaller Abstelllitz or pack size of the musical instrument stand 1, as can be seen from the comparison of Figures 10 and 13 results. For example, a shortening of the total length of the support arms 16, 17 in the folded state of the musical instrument stand 1 can be achieved by approximately 20 to 25 cm.
  • FIGS. 14a and 14b an alternative embodiment of a support member 20a and 20b is shown, which has a bending and torsionally rigid running inner support member 28 with a matched to the cross-sectional shape Q1 of the support beam 12a, 12b mounting recess 24.
  • the inner support member 28 is mountable in various support orientations S1 and S2 on the support beams 12a and 12b, respectively, as previously described in connection with FIGS FIGS. 1 to 4 described.
