Description

The invention relates to a musical instrument stand, in particular a multiple guitar stand, according to the preamble of claim 1 and a support part for such a musical instrument stand according to claim 14.

Stands for several musical instruments are known from the prior art, which have a body and a neck, such as guitars or bass guitars. In particular, guitarists and bassists often own and use different guitars or bass guitars that they want to place in a musical instrument stand for storage or for keeping ready for use in a rehearsal room or on a stage. High-quality musical instruments in particular are sensitive and must be set down carefully, i.e. be supported or leaned against. Musical instrument stands should therefore ensure, on the one hand, that the placed instrument is not damaged, in particular does not fall over or scratched, and, on the other hand, allow good accessibility to the instrument for a quick and easy instrument change.

The US 2009/184074 A1 shows a convertible instrument stand for holding instruments of various types and sizes. Support parts for the instruments can be mounted in various longitudinal positions.

From the U.S. 6,296,213 B1 an instrument stand designed as a case is known which has an elastic cushion for supporting the instruments.

The US 2004/237755 A1 relates to an instrument stand designed as a 3 leg with a telescopic tube.

The technical background for musical instrument stands is also referred to DE 20 2013 100823 U1 and the US 2017/309262 A1 referenced.

From the DE 10 2010 052 584 B3 a musical instrument stand for storing one or more musical instruments having a body and a neck, such as guitars, is known. Intermediate pieces and cross struts which are pushed onto the longitudinal beams are arranged alternately next to one another on two parallel longitudinal members that are spaced apart from one another. The cross struts connect the longitudinal members to one another and are intended to prevent contact between the musical instruments placed on the intermediate pieces and to prevent the musical instruments from twisting and falling through between the longitudinal members. The alternately arranged intermediate pieces on the longitudinal beams are braced with one another and held immovably by the contact of the transverse struts at the end on the terminating parts.

Such a musical instrument stand has several disadvantages. On the one hand, the position of the intermediate pieces and cross struts on the side member is fixed. On the other hand, only a precisely defined number of intermediate pieces and cross struts, each with predetermined lengths, can be used, which must be precisely matched to the total length of the side members. In addition, the known musical instrument stand is not suitable for all shapes of bodies of available musical instruments.

Overall, the musical instrument stands known from the prior art do not satisfactorily meet the high demands made by musicians in terms of individual adaptability and flexible use.

The present invention therefore has the object of providing a musical instrument stand which can be used more flexibly.

In particular, the musical instrument stand should be adaptable, preferably as simply as possible, to a large number of different types of musical instruments that have at least one body and one neck. Furthermore, musical instruments should be able to be set down safely, especially without damaging them.

This object is achieved by a musical instrument stand according to claim 1 and by a support part according to claim 14.

In particular, the object is achieved by a musical instrument stand, in particular a multiple guitar stand, for storing at least one musical instrument having a body and a neck, in particular at least one guitar and / or bass guitar, the musical instrument stand having a frame and at least one pair of support parts that can be mounted on the frame each with a support surface for the body of the musical instrument, the frame having a support frame with two support bars running parallel to one another, each with a non-rotationally symmetrical, in particular polygonal, cross-sectional shape and a contact bracket connected to the support frame, preferably pivotably, the contact bracket having a parallel to the support bars and at least one support arm each connecting the support bar to the support frame, the contact bar, directly or via contact elements that can be attached to the support bar, at least defines a contact surface for the neck of the musical instrument, characterized in that the support parts each have a fastening recess adapted to the cross-sectional shape of the support bars for fastening each support part to a support bar in at least one support orientation that is rotationally fixed relative to the support bar, each support part in one position relative to the support bar rotatably fixed first support alignment, in particular for supporting a first musical instrument, and a second support alignment fixed rotationally relative to the support spar, in particular for supporting a second musical instrument different from the first musical instrument, is designed to be mountable on the support spars, the first and the second support alignment being rotated against each other .

In particular, a support spar has a longitudinal axis, the support spar being non-rotationally symmetrical in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis Has a cross-sectional shape or a non-rotationally symmetrical cross-sectional profile. A non-rotationally symmetrical cross-sectional shape of the support spar can be understood to be a cross-sectional shape that is not congruent with itself when it is rotated (twisted) by any angle about the longitudinal axis of the support spar. For example, the cross-sectional shape can be polygonal, in particular rectangular, oval, elliptical, cross-shaped, T-shaped or an elongated cross-section with semicircular narrow sides (shape of an elongated hole). In particular, the cross-sectional shape is not circular. In particular, a form fit can be produced between a support bar and a fastening recess. In particular, the cross-sectional shape of the support strut corresponds at least essentially to a cross-section or a contour of the fastening recess.

A support part is preferably designed to support the body of a musical instrument in the vertical direction (perpendicular to the support bar) and in the lateral direction (along the support bar). The support parts are preferably not connected to one another and can be arranged axially displaceably on the support bars, at least with the application of a minimum longitudinal force. The cross-sectional shapes of the two support bars and the fastening recesses of the support parts (of all support parts) are preferably the same. In particular, both support parts of a pair can be attached to each of the two support bars. A support part can be fastened to a support strut in several support orientations that are rotationally fixed relative to the support strut, in particular in two different support orientations. Three or four different support orientations can also be provided.

A support part can be made in one piece or in several parts, with inner and outer elements of a support part and / or elements of a support part arranged one behind the other with respect to the longitudinal direction of a support bar being able to be provided. A musical instrument stand can include different support parts, in particular pairs of support parts, which can differ in particular in their length, the shape of their support surface and / or by their material or materials and in particular can be tailored to the body shape of one or more specific musical instruments. In particular, a support part or an element of a support part can comprise several materials.

Support arms are preferably provided on both sides of the musical instrument stand, which form a contact bracket with the contact spar. However, it is also conceivable to have a single, central or lateral support arm, to which the support beam can be connected in a T-shaped or L-shaped manner.

A musical instrument stand according to the invention has the advantage that a support part, or a pair of (opposing) support parts, can be fastened or shifted in any axial position on a support spar, for example if a certain distance between adjacent musical instruments is desired or is required. In addition, the number of support parts to be fastened on a support bar can be chosen freely, since each support part can determine its rotational position itself through the fastening recess, i.e. regardless of any other supporting parts that may be present. In addition, individual support parts can be exchanged if necessary without other support parts having to be adjusted. Support parts of different lengths and shapes can be replaced and combined with one another. The musical instrument stand can be configured variably by mounting different support parts in at least one support orientation. In addition, separate fastening means for the rotationally fixed fastening of a support part to a support strut can be dispensed with, which simplifies assembly. Overall, flexibility and adaptability are improved by a musical instrument stand according to the invention.

In an advantageous development of the invention, the first and the second support alignment are rotated with respect to one another by an angle between 60 ° and 120 °, preferably by 90 °. The angle can in particular be between 70 ° and 110 °, between 80 ° and 100 ° or between 85 ° and 95 °. In particular, the support surfaces of the support parts of a pair point towards each other in a first support orientation (V-shaped orientation of the support surfaces) and in a second support orientation away from each other (A-shaped orientation of the support surfaces), whereby they preferably have an angle between 60 ° and 120 °, preferably include 90 ° with each other. Different support orientations of a support part are in particular by fastening in the opposite direction with respect to the longitudinal direction of the support bar (turning around), fastening in a different rotational angular position with reference to the longitudinal axis of the support bar (twisted pushing on or clamping on) or can be achieved by fastening a support part on the other support bar (exchange or exchange). The musical instrument stand can be adapted to different types of musical instruments, in particular guitars with different body shapes, e.g. rounded (V-shaped alignment of the support surfaces) or V-shaped bodies (A-shaped alignment of the support surfaces) by means of different support orientations of a support part.

In an advantageous further development of the invention, the support surface defines a support plane which runs obliquely, preferably rotated by between 30 ° and 60 °, preferably by 45 °, to an axis of symmetry of the fastening recess. Support planes preferably run obliquely to the horizontal. This allows the support bars to be oriented differently than the desired support levels.

In an advantageous development of the invention, the fastening recess is arranged eccentrically in a support part, in particular offset with respect to a central axis of the support part. A central axis can be understood as running perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the support beam in the assembled state of the support part. In particular, the support surface extends away from the fastening recess on one side or protrudes from the longitudinal axis of the support beam. In this way, a larger support surface of a support part, in particular a larger span between the two support surfaces of a pair of opposite support parts, is achieved, as a result of which a musical instrument can be supported more securely.

In an advantageous development of the invention, the contact spar has a non-rotationally symmetrical, in particular polygonal, cross-sectional shape, the contact element having a fastening recess adapted to the cross-sectional shape of the contact spar for fastening the contact element to the contact spar. In particular, in addition to the contact surface, the contact element has lateral support surfaces for laterally fixing a neck of the associated musical instrument. The contact surfaces of the contact elements can be adapted to a specific neck geometry of the assigned musical instrument. A contact element can have an indentation for forming the contact surface. A contact element can also have a double indentation with a central projection, particularly in the case of long embodiments of contact elements, for example around the neck of a guitar, in particular an acoustic guitar, in both possible storage orientations to support. The contact element is preferably made in one piece, for example from a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE). Such a contact element has advantages similar to those already explained in connection with the support parts. In particular, a contact element can be freely positioned or displaced in the axial direction of the contact beam, in particular independently of further contact elements provided. Separate fastening means for the non-rotatable fastening of a contact element on the contact beam can be omitted, which simplifies assembly.

In an advantageous development of the invention, the fastening recess of the support parts and / or the contact element is designed as a through opening or a spring clip, the support parts and / or the contact element in particular being able to be pushed onto the support bars or the contact bar in the longitudinal direction or clamped in the transverse direction. The support parts and / or the contact element can also be designed so that they can be plugged or clipped on. In this way, a form-fitting twist-proof connection is achieved between the fastening recess and the support beam. A spring clip (clip) can be made in particular from an elastic material (in the area of the fastening recess) and with a fastening recess of the support element that is open on one side. The assembly of the support parts or the contact elements is simplified by pushing on or clamping on. Separate fastening elements, e.g. Screws can be omitted.

In an advantageous development of the invention, the support part forms a central support surface for supporting a body of a musical instrument and two opposite lateral support surfaces for limiting the lateral movement of the body of the musical instrument. The body of a musical instrument can primarily be supported in the vertical direction by the central support surface. Lateral rotation of the body of the musical instrument by the support part can be prevented or at least limited by the lateral support surfaces.

In an advantageous further development of the invention, the support part is made more rigid in a region of the fastening recess, preferably made of a material with greater rigidity, than in the region of the central support surface and / or in the region of the lateral support surfaces. In particular, the support part is in The area of the fastening recess is preferably flexurally rigid and / or torsionally rigid and is preferably designed to be flexible in the area of the central support surface and / or in the area of the lateral support surfaces. The rigidity of the support part can be determined in certain areas by its (internal) structure and by the materials used. A one-piece support part could be made in some areas from other material components or another material structure, for example from a fine-pored foam for higher rigidity and a coarse-pored foam for lower rigidity. The support part can be designed to be hollow in areas, optionally with an inner pore, strut or honeycomb structure, in order to be flexible or elastic in areas. The individual elements of a multi-part support part can be made of materials of different rigidity. In particular, the support part is made sufficiently rigid in the area of the fastening recess to prevent the support part from rotating relative to the support bar under the weight of a parked musical instrument. The support part is advantageously designed to be flexible in the region of the support surface in order to adapt to the contour of the body of the parked musical instrument at least in regions and in particular not to damage it.

In an advantageous development of the invention, the support part has a center element and two side elements, which are arranged on both sides of the center element and can preferably be connected to the center element, the center element preferably forming the central support surface and the side support surfaces, the center element being particularly flexible, preferably an elastomer, preferably thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), comprising, is executed. As a result, various functions of the support part can be taken over by the individual elements of the support part, in particular the direct contact with the musical instrument and the connection of the support part to the support bar.

In an advantageous further development of this aspect of the invention, the side element forms the fastening recess, the side element being made in particular rigid and / or torsionally rigid, preferably made of a thermoplastic, preferably polyamide. For example, a side element is made from PA6. A rigid and / or torsionally rigid one Side element has sufficient stability to prevent bending and twisting relative to the support bars.

A support part with a central element and two side elements has the advantage that the individual elements can be manufactured separately, in particular from different materials. As a result, the various functions of a support part can be fulfilled by the individual elements. In particular, the side elements prevent the support part from rotating relative to the support bar, while the central element ensures that the musical instrument is supported safely and gently.

In an advantageous development of the invention, the middle element can be connected to a side element on an outer side surface via a non-rotatable form-fit connection, in particular by means of mutually matching, preferably stepped, edge profiles. The edge profiles are preferably formed at least partially circumferentially along the circumferential contours of the central element or the side element around the longitudinal axis of the support beam. One or both side elements can be designed to be plugged onto the middle element. The side parts preferably have an, in particular isosceles, (rounded) triangular basic shape, which is adapted to the fastening recess in particular in the region of a corner (angular). A torsion-proof positive connection between the central element and a side element has the advantage that the central element itself does not have to have a fastening recess that matches the cross-sectional shape of the support beam. In particular, the middle element can be designed as a hollow body in this way, whereby its elasticity or softness can be increased.

In an advantageous development of the invention, the central element comprises a hollow body open on both sides in the longitudinal direction, the support surface in a central area of the hollow body on an outer side and a support edge protruding from the support surface, preferably in a curved shape, forming the side support surfaces in at least one side area of the hollow body . In particular, the hollow body forms a through opening for the implementation of the support beam in the longitudinal direction. In particular, the supporting edge forms the lateral supporting surfaces on an inner side surface oriented towards the central region of the hollow body. Preferably that goes Support surface continuously into the lateral support surfaces. In particular, the hollow body forms on an outside (in the undeformed state of the central element, ie without a supported musical instrument) flat support surface with laterally inwardly curved (concave) lateral support surfaces. In particular, the hollow body has a narrower (elongated) cross-section in the central area than in the lateral areas, the cross-section (steadily) widening in the lateral areas towards the edges or the edge profile, the edge cross-section of the hollow body preferably expanding at the ( triangular) edge cross-section of the side parts. A middle element designed as a hollow body can be produced easily and inexpensively and can have a high elasticity or softness. As a result, the support part can fit well against the contour of the body of the musical instrument.

In an alternative development of the invention, the support part has an inner carrier element that forms the fastening recess, and an outer, preferably one-piece, cover element that can be fastened, in particular slip-on, to the inner carrier element and that in particular forms the central support surface and the lateral support surfaces, preferably the inner carrier element is rigid and / or torsionally rigid and the cover element is designed to be flexible. On its rear side, the cover element can have fastening means for plugging onto the inner carrier element, which in particular is adapted to the shape of the inner carrier element. In particular, the inner support element can be mounted in a first support orientation that is rotationally fixed relative to the support bar and a second support orientation, in particular it can be pushed onto a support bar in the longitudinal direction or clamped in the transverse direction. The cover element is preferably made comprising a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE).

The object is also achieved in particular by a support part which is designed for attachment to a support bar with a non-rotationally symmetrical cross-sectional shape of a musical instrument stand according to the invention, the support part being a support surface for the body of a musical instrument having a body and a neck, in particular a guitar and / or Bass guitar, and wherein the support part has a fastening recess adapted to the non-rotationally symmetrical cross-sectional shape of the support bar for fastening the support part to the support bar in at least one support orientation that is rotationally fixed relative to the support bar, the fastening recess being designed such that the support part is in a relative to Support spar rotationally fixed first support orientation, in particular for supporting a first musical instrument, and a second support orientation fixed in rotation relative to the support spar, in particular for supporting a v om the first musical instrument different second Musical instrument, is designed to be mountable on the support spar, the first and second support orientations being rotated relative to one another.

The object is also achieved in particular by a musical instrument stand, in particular a multiple guitar stand, for holding at least one body and a neck Musical instrument, in particular at least one guitar and / or bass guitar, namely by a musical instrument stand according to the invention described above, the musical instrument stand comprising a frame and at least one pair of support parts that can be mounted on the frame, each with a support surface for the body of the musical instrument, the frame comprising a support frame with two support bars running parallel to one another, each with a non-rotationally symmetrical, in particular polygonal, cross-sectional shape and a contact bracket connected to the support frame, preferably pivotably, the contact bracket having a contact bar running parallel to the support bars and at least one contact bar connecting the contact bar to the support frame Has support arm, wherein the contact spar defines at least one contact surface for the neck of the musical instrument, directly or via contact elements that can be fastened to the contact spar, characterized in that the min first of all a support arm are designed to be telescopic, each with an outer support arm profile and an inner support arm profile slidably received therein.

The outer support arm profile can be made of a different material than the inner support arm profile. The outer support arm profile is preferably made from an aluminum tube, while the inner support arm profile is an injection-molded plastic part, preferably made of fiber-reinforced plastic, e.g. Polyamide, is. A telescopic musical instrument stand has the advantage, on the one hand, that the support beam can be positioned at a desired height, for example as a function of the length of the necks of the musical instruments to be parked. This further increases the flexibility in use and adaptability for different musical instruments. On the other hand, a telescopic support arm enables a smaller installation size or pack size of the musical instrument stand, for example when not in use or for transport.

In an advantageous development of the invention, the support arm has locking means, in particular between the outer and inner support arm profile, in order to fix the contact beam in a specific telescoped position. A locking mechanism, preferably with an actuatable locking button, can be provided as locking means in an overlapping section of the outer support arm profile with the inner support arm profile.

The object is also achieved in particular by a musical instrument stand, in particular a multiple guitar stand, for storing at least one musical instrument having a body and a neck, in particular at least one guitar and / or bass guitar, namely by a musical instrument stand according to the invention described above, the musical instrument stand having a frame and comprises at least one pair of support parts that can be mounted on the frame, each with a support surface for the body of the musical instrument, the frame having a support frame with two support bars running parallel to one another, each with a non-rotationally symmetrical, in particular polygonal, cross-sectional shape and a contact bracket connected to the support frame , wherein the contact bracket has a contact bar running parallel to the support bars and at least one support arm connecting the contact bar in each case to the support frame, the contact bar, directly or above At least one contact surface for the neck of the musical instrument is defined via contact elements that can be fastened to the contact spar, the support frame being pivotably connected to the contact bracket via at least one pivot joint, the contact bracket having first latching means and being fixable in at least one end position by means of a latching mechanism, preferably in both end positions.

A pivotable contact bracket has the advantage that the position of the contact bracket can be changed, for example in order to adjust the angle of inclination of the contact bracket with respect to the support frame for certain musical instruments. This makes the musical instrument stand more flexible. By engaging the contact bracket in an end position, the contact bracket can be secured against unintentional pivoting (folding over). This can damage the parked musical instruments and / or unintentional swinging out of the support bracket, e.g. can be prevented during transport.

In an advantageous development of the invention, the latching mechanism comprises a bending element firmly connected to the support frame, preferably a plastic spring element cast onto the support frame, which has a degree of bending freedom perpendicular to the pivot axis of the pivot joint and second latching means corresponding to the first latching means and a spring supported on the support frame, preferably made of metal, which acts on the bending element in the direction of the pivot axis with a snap-in spring force. Such a locking mechanism can be implemented in a structurally simple manner. The spring can preferably be inserted from the underside of the support frame into a receiving opening of a cross member of the support frame. The use of a metallic spring has the advantage that the latching mechanism can be acted upon with a sufficiently large latching spring force.

In an advantageous development of the invention, the spring has two pairs of spring legs and a cross strut connecting the pairs of spring legs, the pairs of spring legs resting against the support frame and the cross strut engaging a groove in the bending element. The spring is in particular designed as a bent wire bracket, e.g. with a diameter of about 3 mm made of steel. In this way, the spring can apply a sufficiently large snap-in spring force to the bending element.

In an advantageous development of the invention, the spring leg ends of the spring engage in a circumferential groove of the axis of the pivot joint, in particular in order to axially secure the axis or the axle bolt. The spring leg ends are formed in particular by straight leg sections of the spring. In this way, in addition to the pretensioning of the bending element, the spring can also fulfill the function of securing the axis.

Although it is not necessary according to the invention, due to the mounting recess of the support parts adapted to the cross-sectional shape of the support bars for their rotational fixing, in contrast to the prior art, that the total length of the support parts mounted on a support bar is matched to the length of the longitudinal beams, this can still be the case his. On the one hand, the lengths of different mountable support parts, or a set of support parts of different lengths suitable for mounting, can be coordinated with one another and with the length of the support bars so that a large number of different configurations can be produced. On the other hand, filling elements can be provided which are pushed or slipped on between two adjacent support parts in order to prevent axial displacement of the support parts relative to one another in the assembled state. For example, support parts with lengths of 120 mm or 180 mm could be provided and filling elements with a length of 30 mm could be provided in order to be placed in various configurations on a support bar with a free Assembly length (length of the support beam between two cross members) of 420 mm, 660 mm or 900 mm.

Support parts 20a, 20b of different lengths can be mounted. The contact bracket 14 is connected to the support frame 11 via two swivel joints 18. The contact bracket 14 comprises two lateral support arms 16, 17 which are connected via connecting parts to a contact bar 15 running parallel to the support bars 12a, 12b. Three contact elements 30 are pushed onto the support strut 15 and form contact surfaces 31 with lateral contact surfaces 32, 33 for leaning against the neck of a musical instrument 2 supported in a support part 20a, 20b. On a rear side, the support frame 11 has foot elements 110 in order to be able to set up the musical instrument stand 1 in the collapsed state.

In the in Figure 2 The illustrated embodiment of the musical instrument stand 1 of the total of four pairs of support parts 20a, 20b, the front two pairs are mounted in a second support orientation S2, while the two rear pairs are mounted in a first support orientation S1. It is possible to switch back and forth between the two support alignments S1, S2 by remounting the support parts 20a, 20b. This can be done either by interchanging the two support parts 20a and 20b of a pair, ie by mounting the support parts 20a and 20b on the other support bar 12b or 12a, or by mounting each support part 20a, 20b in reverse on the respective support bar 12a or 12b, ie either by sliding on the support part 20a or 20b rotated by 180 °. In Figure 2 all eight support parts 20a, 20b have the same length.

Each support part 20a, 20b has a central support surface 210a or 210b and lateral support surfaces 220a, 220b or 230a, 230b. The support surfaces 210a, 210b each run at an angle to the support bars 12a and 12b and define support planes E that are tilted to one another (see FIG Figures 5 , 6th , 7a and 7b ). In the first support alignment S1, two support surfaces 210a, 210b are each aligned with one another, ie in a V-shape. In the second support orientation S2, the support surfaces 210a, 210b are each aligned away from one another, ie in an A-shape. The first support orientation S1 is particularly suitable for supporting a guitar with a rounded body shape, while the second support orientation S2 is particularly suitable for supporting a guitar with a V-shaped body. The lateral support surfaces 220a, 220b, 230a, 230b are formed by support edges 27 formed by the support parts 20a, 20b, which protrude with respect to the support plane E or support surface 210a, 210b. The lateral support surfaces 220a, 220b, 230a, 230b prevent the parked musical instruments 2 from turning laterally in the support parts 20a, 20b. In addition, the musical instruments 2 cannot hit one another and be damaged.

In Figure 3 is a den Figures 1 and 2 corresponding embodiment with a total of four pairs of support parts 20a, 20b shown, the front two pairs being shorter, z. B. 120 mm long than the two rear pairs, the z. B. are 180 mm long. The shorter or narrower support parts 20a, 20b are particularly suitable for supporting electric guitars or bass guitars, while the longer or wider support parts 20a, 20b are particularly suitable for acoustic guitars that typically have a deeper or wider body. To match, the two rear contact elements 30 are designed with a double indentation with an intermediate projection, which have suitable contact surfaces 31 and lateral contact surfaces 32, 33 for the neck of an acoustic guitar in one of the two possible storage orientations.

The Figure 4 the assembly process or the adaptation of a musical instrument stand 1 can be seen. The support bars 12a, 12b are designed as aluminum profiles with a non-rotationally symmetrical cross-sectional shape Q1, here as square hollow profiles, which are inserted into through openings 190 in the cross members 19 and fixed at the front by means of screws. The cross members 19 are preferably made of a plastic such as polyamide, for example PA6, but could also be made of metal, for example aluminum. The standing elements 191 are inserted from below and the foot elements 110 are screwed on from behind. Analogously to the support bars 12a, 12b, the contact bar 15 made from an aluminum profile with a square cross-sectional shape Q2 is screwed to the support frames 16 and 17 via connecting parts. The support parts 20a, 20b and the support parts 30 are pushed on in the longitudinal direction of the support struts 12a, 12b or the contact strut 15. Alternatively, they could also be clamped onto the support bars 12a, 12b from above or from the side. For this purpose, the support parts 20a, 20b and the contact elements 30 have fastening recesses 24 or and 30 which are matched to the cross-sectional shape Q1 or Q2 or correspond to these in a form-fitting manner. The support parts 20a, 20b and the contact elements 30 can be fastened to the support bars 12a, 12b and the contact bar 15 in a rotationally fixed orientation via the fastening recesses 24 and 34, respectively. This means that further fastening elements can be omitted. Out Figure 4 it becomes clear that the support parts 20a, 20b could also be pushed the other way around onto the support bars 12a, 12b or can be interchanged with one another in order to be brought into either the first support orientation S1 or the second support orientation S2. This results in great flexibility in the use of the musical instrument stand, in particular an adaptability for different types of musical instruments 2, in particular guitars with rounded or V-shaped bodies.

In the Figures 5 and 6th Embodiments of a support part 20a according to the invention are shown, which would have to be shown mirror-inverted for a support part 20b, with FIG Figure 5 two embodiments of a support part 20a is shown, each with different lengths. The support part 20a is constructed in three parts with a central element 21a and two side elements 22a, 23a. The side parts 22a, 22b are flexurally and torsionally rigid from a thermoplastic material, for example polyamide, for. B. PA 6, while the central element 21a is made of a flexible thermoplastic elastomer (TPE). The side elements 22a, 23a are thus made of a different material, in particular more rigid, than the central element 21a. The side elements 22a, 23a each have a triangular basic shape, the fastening recess 24 being provided opposite a central axis M in the region of a lower corner. The fastening recess 24 is designed as a through-opening matched to the cross-sectional shape Q1 of the support bars 12a, 12b and enables the side elements 22a, 22b to be fixed in a form-fitting, torsion-proof manner on a support bar 12a, 12b. The middle element 21a is designed as a hollow body 25, the support surface 210a or the inclined support surface E defined thereby being formed on an outer side 26. The support surface 210a transitions laterally into the lateral support surfaces 220a and 230b, which are formed by inner side surfaces 272 of the curved support edges 27. The side elements 22a, 23b can be plugged onto the side of the middle element 21a or inserted into it, with a non-rotating, positive connection being established between the two side parts 22a, 23a and the middle part 21a via circumferential stepped edge profiles 210 and 220, respectively. The support plane E is rotated by 45 ° with respect to the axes of symmetry A of the fastening recess 24 or the cross-sectional shape Q1. As a result, the support planes E in the first and the second support orientation S1 and S2 are rotated by 90 ° to one another (cf. Figures 7a and 7b ).

In the Figures 7a and 7b a musical instrument stand 1 is shown with a musical instrument 2 supported therein. In the Figure 7a a guitar with a round body is supported by support parts 20a, 20b mounted in the first support orientation S1 and leaned against the contact element 30, while in FIG Figure 7b a guitar having a V-shaped body is supported by the same support parts 20a, 20b mounted in the second support orientation S2. In the Figures 8a and 8b a swivel joint 18 of the frame 10 of a musical instrument stand 1 is shown in each case, the swivel joint 18 being equipped with a latching mechanism 50. A joint head of the contact bracket 14, which is made for example from a fiber-reinforced plastic and is connected to the support arm 16 or 17, has first latching means 141 in the form of two latching grooves formed along the circumferential contour. In the first end position P1 of the contact bracket 14 ( Figure 8a ) the support arm 16 is pivoted in a vertical direction, ie folded out. In the second end position P2 of the contact bracket 14, the support arm 16 is pivoted in an essentially horizontal direction, ie folded over or in, and runs essentially parallel to the cross member 19. A bending element 51 is connected to the support frame 11 that is made of plastic -Bending element is cast on an inside of the support frame 11 and has a degree of bending freedom in the direction of the pivot axis B (in the Figures 8a and 8b from bottom to top). The bending element 51 has second latching means 53 in the form of a latching lug designed to match the first latching means 141, which in the first and second end positions P1 and P2 respectively engages in a different one of the two first latching means 141 to keep the contact bracket 14 in the respective position to lock into place. A spring 53 supported on an inside of the support frame 11 engages in a groove 56 on the underside of the bending element 51 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 clip, for example with a diameter of 3 mm, which has two pairs of spring legs 54 and a cross strut 55 which connects the two pairs of spring legs 54 and which snaps into the groove 56 of the bending element 51. The axis 180 of the swivel joint 18 is inserted laterally into axis openings of the support frame 11, the spring leg ends 57 engaging in a circumferential groove 181 of the hollow axis 180 in order to secure it axially against slipping out. The assembly process of the swivel joint 18 with the locking mechanism 50 is shown in FIG Figure 9 represented by arrows, the spring 53 being first inserted from below into a receiving opening of the cross member 19 and the contact bracket 14 being inserted from above and then the axis 180 being inserted laterally. The spring 53 and thus the bending element 51 is pretensioned in the installed state in that the pairs of spring legs 54 are slightly bent open. In the Figure 10 a musical instrument stand 1 is shown with the contact bracket 14 locked in the second end position P2. In this position P2, the musical instrument stand 1 can, for example, be conveniently transported, be tidied up in a space-saving manner and in particular placed on the foot elements 110. In addition, two or four floor rollers can be provided on the frame 10 for pulling or moving the musical instrument stand 1.

In the Figures 11 , 12 and 13 an embodiment of the musical instrument stand 1 with telescopic support arms 16, 17 is shown. The support arms 16, 17 each comprise an outer support arm profile 41 and an inner support arm profile 42, which are arranged displaceably within one another and can be fixed relative to one another in a telescoped or pushed together position via locking means 41. In Figure 11 a telescoped position is shown. Telescopic support arms 16, 17 allow a smaller storage size 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.

In the Figures 14a and 14b an alternative embodiment of a support part 20a or 20b is shown, which has an inner support element 28 designed to be flexurally and torsionally rigid and with a fastening recess 24 matched to the cross-sectional shape Q1 of the support strut 12a, 12b. The inner support element 28 can be mounted in different support orientations S1 and S2 on the support bars 12a and 12b, as previously in connection with FIGS Figures 1 to 4 described. A cover element 29, which is preferably flexible and of one-piece design, can be positively plugged or placed onto the inner carrier element 28, preferably on both sides, in order to support a musical instrument 2. On the rear side of the cover element 29, fastening means are provided which are adapted to the inner carrier element 28. The cover element 29 has a lateral bar recess 290 in order to enable the support bar 12a, 12b to be passed through in the assembled state.

In Figure 15 a musical instrument stand 1 is shown with four pairs of support elements 20a, 20b of different lengths, which are mounted in two different support orientations S1 and S2 in order to accommodate a total of three different types of musical instruments 2.

The Figures 16 a and 16 b is a musical instrument stand 1 or its assembly (see arrows in Figure 16a ) with five pairs of support parts 20a, 20b shown, the functionally related to the Figures 1 to 4 support parts 20a, 20b described correspond, but have an alternative shape. The support parts 20a, 20b have doubly curved support surfaces 210a, 210b, the curvature being perpendicular to the support bars 12a, 12b outwards (convex) and parallel to the direction of the support bars 12a, 12b inwards (concave). This results in a smaller contact surface of a musical instrument 2 on the support parts 20a, 20b. The support parts 20a, 20b are formed in one piece and have an integrally formed fastening recess 24 on their underside which is matched to the cross-sectional shape Q1 of the support bars 12a, 12b.

A musical instrument stand 1 according to the invention has the advantage that it can be used more flexibly and can be easily adapted to the individual needs of the musician, in particular to be able to safely set down different types of musical instruments 2, preferably guitars with rounded and V-shaped bodies.
