A device and method of clamping bicycles in a mouth () having a moveable jaw () and a stationary jaw () to which a high load potential may be utilized within a toggle joint () and ratchet mechanism () and a release () may be triggered to open a mouth in a quick movement(s). In embodiments, a multisized object securement grip () may be located on a contact surface of a moveable jaw and stationary jaw to allow for universal gripping of various sized objects.

The inventive technology, in embodiments, relates variously to item support apparatus that offer one or more of a variety of operational benefits, including but not limited to independently operable force enhancers whereby various retention forces may be enhanced independently of one another, and side-assembly. The inventive technology presents, generally, two different types of apparatus&#x2014;one featuring a ball having a passage through which an item support rack member (e.g., a drum rack member) may be slidingly passed, and a second featuring a ball without a passageway therethrough.

Percussion instrument support apparatus

In at least one embodiment, an apparatus () that comprises a compression sleeve element () established at least partially around portions of a first elongated member () that telescopes from a larger elongated member () in which it may nest. A relative motion obstruction element () may disallow only certain types of motion, e.g., rotational and axial, of the compression sleeve element relative to the elongated members around which it may be at least partially established. As it may be the compression enhancement element () &#x2014;which may be used to generate a retaining compression force element&#x2014;that prevents perpendicular displacement of the compression sleeve element, deactivation and effective disengagement of the compression enhancement element may allow for a quick removal of the compression sleeve element without requiring that it be slid off an end of either elongated member.

Telescoping member methods and apparatus

At least one embodiment of the inventive technology may be an item support apparatus () that comprises at least two fee (); a base () from which said feet extend at a first retention element (); at least two risers () retained to the base by a second retention element (); and at least one arm () retained to each riser by an arm retainer (). Disclosed is a novel, efficient yet strong item support stand that may be used to support an item such as a musical instrument (a keyboard, as but one example) and that may be collapsible and/or adjustable in certain embodiments.

Musical instrument support methods and apparatus

At least one embodiment of the inventive technology may be a support apparatus that includes at least two item support rails supported by support legs coupled thereto by pivot coupler apparatus that enable rotatable motion of a coupled support rail about a substantially vertical axis, where at least one of the item support rails is a non-horizontal item support rail, and where a cable passes through at least a portion of one or more of the support rails. In certain embodiments, the couplers may be height adjust couplers that enable substantially purely vertical, translatory height adjustment of coupled support rails and/or the couplers may couple item support rails to rail support legs at an angle other than ninety degrees. Items that may be supported include but are not limited to electronic percussion instruments.

Apparatus for and associated methods of controlling movement of a microphone that may be held in some manner by a microphone support boom. More specifically, the invention focuses upon novel techniques for isolating yaw of a microphone support boom from the microphone stand that may provide a majority of the height required for a desired microphone spatial positioning. The invention also focuses on apparatus that may be used achieve preferential isolation of microphone support boom yaw with respect to motion in any other microphone support boom degree of freedom. A specific type of apparatus that may be used to achieve this preferential isolation&mdash;the double conical clutch&mdash;is also an aspect of the inventive technology.

A reducible support system for supporting various items is presented in various embodiments. A reducible support structure, may comprise an operation element which may be attached to an orthogonal element. Limbs, preferably a tripod may be attached to the operation element and a plug element may provide a slide so that the limbs or tripod may open and collapse easily.
