Abstract

Provided is a stand for a musical instrument, the stand including a pole in the shape of a stick extending in one direction, and a plurality of legs extending from the pole and arranged in a circumferential direction of the pole. At least one of the plurality of legs is a rotatable leg attached to the pole so as to be capable of rotating about a central axis of the pole. At least one of the plurality of legs is an offset leg held by the pole such that a longitudinal axis of the offset leg is apart from the central axis of the pole without crossing the central axis when viewed in an axial direction of the pole.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A stand for a musical instrument, the stand comprising:
a pole; and
a plurality of legs extending from the pole and arranged in a circumferential direction of the pole, wherein
a first leg of the plurality of legs is a rotatable leg attached to the pole such that the rotatable leg is rotatable about a central axis of the pole,
a second leg of the plurality of legs is an offset leg held by the pole such that a longitudinal axis of the offset leg is apart from the central axis of the pole without crossing the central axis when viewed in an axial direction of the pole,
the second leg includes:
a leg main portion extending from the pole; and
a connection portion that connects the leg main portion to the pole,

the connection portion includes:
a bearing portion attached to the pole; and
a joining portion joined to the leg main portion, and

the joining portion extends from a periphery of the bearing portion in a direction inclined in the circumferential direction of the pole with respect to a radial direction of the pole when viewed in the axial direction of the pole.

2. The stand for the musical instrument according to claim 1 , wherein the offset leg serves as the rotatable leg.

3. The stand for the musical instrument according to claim 2 , wherein
the bearing portion is attached to the pole so as to be capable of rotating about the central axis of the pole,
the joining portion is provided on the periphery of the bearing portion, and
the leg main portion is joined to a distal end portion of the joining portion.

4. The stand for the musical instrument according to claim 3 , wherein
the plurality of legs includes at least two offset legs serving as rotatable legs,
the two offset legs include the offset leg,
bearing portions of the two offset legs are arranged in the axial direction of the pole, and
the bearing portions of the two offset legs include the bearing portion of the offset leg.

5. The stand for the musical instrument according to claim 4 , wherein
distal end portions of joining portions of the two offset legs are disposed at a same position in the axial direction of the pole, and
the distal end portions of the joining portions of the two offset legs include the distal end portion of the joining portion of the offset leg.

6. A high-hat stand, comprising:
the stand for the musical instrument of claim 1 ;
a cymbal holder disposed at an upper end portion of a pole configured to hold an upper cymbal;
a cymbal support disposed at the upper end portion of the pole under the cymbal holder, wherein the cymbal support is configured to support a lower cymbal; and
a pedal unit disposed at a lower end portion of the pole, wherein the pedal unit is configured to move the cymbal holder.
