Application filed January 30, 1926. Serial No. 84,940.
By way of explanation it may be stated that players in orchestras, andparticularly in dance orchestras, are compelled to sup port and play upon heavy instruments oi the hclicon bass type, for long periods or". time. lhe result isthat the player is wearied by the physical work of supporting the instrument, his performance a musician be ing impaired accordingly. It the instrument is laid down on the door or elsewhere, it is ill y to be amaged, and considerable work is involved in what may be called getting into and st of the instrument, if it embodies a large closed loop which ordinariiy "placed about some part of the trunk ot player.
l the toregoing being understood,
stated tiat this invention aims to provide novel means whereby a wind inot the l nd menti ned may be tly witl c pect to the player seated on a chair, the weight of the instrument taken off the player, and it being posh do to swing the instrument up into an ino 'ierative position, thereby enabling the player to leave the chair, and at the same time have his instrument supported in such a position that it will not be trodden upon or broken otherwise.
it is within the province of the disclosure .CGVO generally and to enhance the oi devices of that type to which the ion appertains. h tie above and other objects in view will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the ot ruction hereinafter de (let ails coi scribed and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed, may be made within the scope of what is claimed, without de iiartinp; iron: the spirit of the invention.
in the accompanying drawings Figure 1 shows in perspective, a device is made as desireththe base, if preferred, including legs 2, which radiate trom'a central couphng 3 carrying the lower part 4 of a vertical stancard 5, the standard insaid part 6 being held in adjusted positions through the instrumentality of 7 threaded into the member -l and engaging the member Near to its upper end, the part 6 ot the standard carries a-cushion as which may be a piece of soft rubber, or the like, extended about the part 6. 'lhe upper end of the part 6' of the standard is laterally inclined as at 8.
The numeral 9 marks a clamp for bold-- ing the instrument which is to be played upon, and the clamp may be made lal various ways. As shown, but not of necessity, the clamp tlembodies a main member 10 equipped at one end with an overhanging tianpc ll, the opposite end oi the main member being twisted, as at 12, to form an ear 1% which extends about at right angles to the axis of the clamp, the car 14% being piw otally'connected to the inclined end 8 of the part 6 0]": the standard 5 by a bolt and wing nut 15, it being possible, of course, to tighten up the bolt and wing nut structure, to holdthe clamp 9 in any position to which it may have been adjusted. The clamp 9 includes an auxiliary member 16, one end of which is detachably received beneath the flange 11 oi the main member 10, the opposite end of the auxiliary member 16 being connected to the main member 10 by a tightening device 17, such as a bolt and nut. The members 10 and 1G oi the clamp 9 are bowed in opposite directions, as at 18. Intermediate its ends, the auxiliary member 16 oi. the clamp 9 has a laterally extenifled arm supplied with a notch or socket 19.
The i'iume-ral 20 marks a musical wind instrument, such as a helicon bass, the instrument including a closed loop 21 01. such. size as to receive a part of the trunk of a performer, the loop 21 including convolutions 22 and 23,connected by a brace 24.
The convolution 22 of the instrument is secured in the clamp 9. A layer of felt, rubber, cloth, leather or the like, marked by he numeral 26, is placed within the clamp, to prevent the clamp from marring the ina set crew strum ent.
The brace 24k is received in the socket 19 which is formed in the arm 25 of the clamp, and when the bolt and nut 17, or its equivalent, is tightened up judiciously, the musical. instrument will be held in the clamp 9, for swinging; adjustment, along with the clamp, on the standard The say-port 1 is placed near to a seat- ZT, which the player is to occupy, and the musical instrun'ient is so dieposed that it can swing; npwardly and iilownwardly, in a vcnhtieal direction above the seat ii glance at F'iprlife 1 will show that when the performer desires to leave the seat 2'7, he can swing up the. inutrumen 20, until the cushion E36 buts against the convolution 23 of the instrument, the instrument then remaining in the position shown. ll hen the performer desires-i to play, he merely swing; the instrun'ient down wardly "from the poeition shown in Figure 1, so that the closed loop 2i is disposed about his body.
Not only does the invention enabie the performer to tree hin'ieel'l readily from the musical instrument 20, but, 'l rrthermore, be
cause the in strnment is not Sill iported directly on the body of the player, he can the better regulate the pressure off his lips against the lllOlltlllJlGCQ, and obtain a, more free and flexible embrochure, it being a matter o'l common knowledge among persons skilled in the art that to press the mouthpiece of a brass wind instrument forcibly against the lips, does not, in the long run, condnce to perfection of tone and artistry in execution.
What is claimed is:
1. In a device for supporting a wind instrument which has a loop embodying eonvolutions and a brace connecting the convolutions; a standard, and a clamp adjustably carried by the standard, the clamp comprisimr cooperating members, and means for operatingthem to cause the clamp to engage one convolution of an instrument of the type specified, the clamp being provided with a socket member disposed at an angle to the clamp to receive a brace oi the sort mentioned 52. in a device ot the class described, a support comprising a vertically adjustable standard, a clamp pivoted to the upper end ot the standard and comprising superposed cooperating main and auxiliary gripping members, the auxiliary member being provided intermediate its ends with an arm oil? less length than the auxiliary men'iber, the arm being disposed approximately at right angles to the auxiliary member and being, provided at its outer end with a notch, and
nmans for holding the clamp in adjusted pos-iitions with respect to the stalnli'lrd.
in. testimony that 1 claim the itoregolng as my own, 1 have hereto allixed my signature.
