Abstract
Abstract A universal support is provided wherein the angular adjustment provided by the universal support for an object supported thereby remains fixed even though the object, such as a drum, has been removed from the universal support. The universal support is capable of holding a support rod relative to a support stand having an attachment member. The universal support includes a receiving member, with a rod press and a support stand press each attached to the receiving member. The receiving member and the rod press each has a concave surface adapted to accommodate the rod support sandwiched between the contoured surfaces of the receiving member and the rod press. In addition, the receiving member and the support stand press each has a concave surface adapted to accommodate the attachment member of the support stand sandwiched between the concave surface of the receiving member and the support stand press. Thus, the universal support is capable of accommodating the attachment member of the support stand independently of the rod support.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
235 words
A universal support comprising: a receiving member; a first press attached to said receiving member, an elongated support, said receiving member and said first press each having a first contoured surface adapted to accommodate said elongated support relative to a support stand having an attachment member, said elongated support sandwiched between said first contoured surfaces of said receiving member and said first press; and a second press attached to said receiving member and spaced from said first press, said receiving member and said second press each having a second contoured surface adapted to accommodate said attachment member of said support stand sandwiched between said second contoured surfaces of said receiving member and said second press; a bracket attachable to an end of said elongated support opposite the end attached to said universal support; a curved arm is attached to said bracket, said curved arm adapted to extend partially around the periphery of a drum having a lower hoop and an upper hoop; a plurality of hoop installations on said upper hoop; said bracket having a vibration-absorbing means to abut said lower hoop of a said drum; and said curved arm connected to each of said hoop installations through a vibration-absorbing seat, said vibration-absorbing seat having a vibration-absorbing upper seat and a vibration-absorbing lower seat, with said vibration-absorbing upper seat and said vibration-absorbing lower seat adapted to sandwich at least one of said hoop installations therebetween.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
235 words
A universal support comprising: a receiving member; a first press attached to said receiving member, an elongated support, said receiving member and said first press each having a first contoured surface adapted to accommodate said elongated support relative to a support stand having an attachment member, said elongated support sandwiched between said first contoured surfaces of said receiving member and said first press; and a second press attached to said receiving member and spaced from said first press, said receiving member and said second press each having a second contoured surface adapted to accommodate said attachment member of said support stand sandwiched between said second contoured surfaces of said receiving member and said second press; a bracket attachable to an end of said elongated support opposite the end attached to said universal support; a curved arm is attached to said bracket, said curved arm adapted to extend partially around the periphery of a drum having a lower hoop and an upper hoop; a plurality of hoop installations on said upper hoop; said bracket having a vibration-absorbing means to abut said lower hoop of a said drum; and said curved arm connected to each of said hoop installations through a vibration-absorbing seat, said vibration-absorbing seat having a vibration-absorbing upper seat and a vibration-absorbing lower seat, with said vibration-absorbing upper seat and said vibration-absorbing lower seat adapted to sandwich at least one of said hoop installations therebetween.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
17 words
The universal support of claim 1, wherein said hoop installations are screwably attachable to said curved arm.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
25 words
The universal support of claim 1, wherein said curved arm is adapted to extend around no more than half the outer periphery of said drum.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
14 words
The universal support of claim 1, wherein said curved arm includes three hoop installations.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
58 words
The universal support of 1, wherein said vibration-absorbing upper seat and said vibration-absorbing lower seat each have terminal ends which are adapted to contact each other for connecting said curved arm to said hoop installations, said terminal ends of said vibration-absorbing lower seat and said vibration-absorbing upper seat being tapered to thereby minimize contact with said hoop installations.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
58 words
The universal support of 1, wherein said vibration-absorbing upper seat and said vibration-absorbing lower seat each have terminal ends which are adapted to contact each other for connecting said curved arm to said hoop installations, said terminal ends of said vibration-absorbing lower seat and said vibration-absorbing upper seat being tapered to thereby minimize contact with said hoop installations.
