Abstract

A snare drum stand with a snare drum bracket ( 5 ), wherein the snare drum bracket ( 5 ) comprises a plurality of interconnected bars ( 11, 12, 13, 14 ), which are movably coupled to one another, and having a snare drum bracket size being changeable by their connecting angle changeable with respect to each other, wherein an inclination of an end bar ( 14 ) is decoupled from an inner angle of a lower bar ( 11 ).

Claims (32)

1. A snare drum stand, comprising:

a snare drum bracket including a plurality of interconnected bars that are movably coupled to one another, the interconnected bars including each of an end bar and a lower bar, and the connecting angle of the interconnected bars being variable with respect to each other to define a plurality of snare drum bracket sizes; and

wherein an inclination of the end bar is decoupled from an inner angle of the lower bar.

2. The snare drum stand according to claim 1 , wherein the inclination of the end bar equals a receiving angle of a receiving part for receiving a snare drum.

3. The snare drum stand according to claim 2 , further comprising a lower bar support and an upper bar support each supporting a plurality of the interconnected bars, and the upper and the lower bar supports being arranged at a bracket support.

4. A snare drum stand, comprising:

a snare drum bracket including a plurality of interconnected bars that are movably coupled to one another, the interconnected bars including each of an end bar and a lower bar, and the connecting angle of the interconnected bars being variable with respect to each other to define a plurality of snare drum bracket sizes,

wherein an inclination of the end bar is decoupled from an inner angle of the lower bar, and

wherein the inclination of the end bar equals a receiving angle of a receiving part for receiving a snare drum;

further comprising a lower bar support and an upper bar support each supporting a plurality of the interconnected bars, and the upper and the lower bar supports being arranged at a bracket support,

wherein the interconnecting bars include a connecting bar, and wherein further the lower bar is connected to each of the lower bar support, the upper bar and the connecting bar.

5. The snare drum stand according to claim 4 , wherein the end bar is connected to the connecting bar.

6. The snare drum stand according to claim 5 , wherein the upper bar is connected with the upper bar support and the end bar.

7. The snare drum stand according to claim 6 , wherein the connections between the bars and the connections with the bar supports are pivotally formed.

8. The snare drum stand according to claim 7 , wherein the connections between the bars and the connections with the bar supports are pivotally riveted to each other.

9. A snare drum stand, comprising:

a snare drum bracket including a plurality of interconnected bars that are movably coupled to one another, the interconnected bars including each of an end bar and a lower bar, and the connecting angle of the interconnected bars being variable with respect to each other to define a plurality of snare drum bracket sizes,

wherein an inclination of the end bar is decoupled from an inner angle of the lower bar, and

wherein the inclination of the end bar equals a receiving angle of a receiving part for receiving a snare drum;

further comprising a lower bar support and an upper bar support each supporting a plurality of the interconnected bars, and the upper and the lower bar supports being arranged at a bracket support,

wherein the snare drum bracket size is variable by varying the distance between the bar supports along the bracket support.

10. The snare drum stand according to claim 9 , wherein for maximum snare drum bracket size the upper bar is adjustable up to a horizontal position by adjusting a maximum distance of the bar supports with respect to each other.

11. The snare drum stand according to claim 10 , wherein at least one of the bar supports is fixable by means of fixing means.

12. The snare drum stand according to claim 11 , wherein at least one of the bar supports is pivotally coupled to the fixing means.

13. The snare drum stand according to claim 12 , wherein the bracket support comprises a thread portion.

14. The snare drum stand according to claim 13 , wherein the fixing means are formed as a screw nut.

15. The snare drum stand according to claim 14 , wherein the screw nut is engaged with the thread portion and movable by thread rotation along the bracket support.

16. The snare drum stand according to claim 15 , wherein the interconnecting bars include a connecting bar, and wherein further the lower bar is connected to each of the lower bar support, the upper bar and the connecting bar.

17. The snare drum stand according to claim 16 , wherein the end bar is connected to the connecting bar.

18. The snare drum stand according to claim 17 , wherein the upper bar is connected with the upper bar support and the end bar.

19. The snare drum stand according to claim 18 , wherein the connections between the bars and the connections with the bar supports are pivotally formed.

20. The snare drum stand according to claim 19 , wherein the connections between the bars and the connectins with the bar supports are pivotally riveted to each other.
