Abstract
Abstract A holder for microphones and the like, attachable to a vertical wall and having a ledge member whereon the usual mounting button of a microphone is caused to rest by the force of gravity and a spring member fixed relative to said ledge member. Said spring member is formed with a slot, and the resiliency of said spring member urges said button to a position on said ledge member. Such resiliency can be overcome to enable said button to pass clear of the ledge member when desired for removal of the microphone.
