- the sheet members 34 represent paper sheets but instead there could be transparent sheet-protecting envelopes adapted to contain paper sheets, as is known.
- the supporting member 32 which may be made of molded plastic or of some other suitable material, has pairs of projecting means 360 and 38a, projecting from one generally flat surface 400 and corresponding pairs of projecting members 36b and 38b projecting from the opposite flat surface 40b, all of which projections are adjacent one edge portion 42 of the supporting member 32.
- the supporting member 32 may have additional projecting means 44 projecting downwardly from the middle of edge portion 42.
- the clamping mechanism 22 of the lyre 20 comprises a back gripping member 50, which has a gripping portion 52 and a handle portion 54, and a front gripping member 56, which has a gripping portion 58 and a handle portion 60.
- the gripping portion 52 of the back gripping member 50 which has the general appearance of a stylized lyre, has a vertical center element 62, a pair of curved side elements 64, a base 66 connected with the elements 62 and 64, an upper crossbar 68 interconnecting the elements 62 and 64, and side whorls 70 continuing from the respective side elements 64.
- a pair of apertures 72 thus are defined in this gripping portion 52.
- the gripping portion 58 of the front gripping member 56 which has a general appearance rudimentarily similar to the appearance of the gripping portion 52 of the back gripping member 50 (but for the whorls 70) has apair of closely spaced vertical rib elements 74, a pair of curved side elements 76, a base 78 connecting the rib elements 74 and the elements 76, and an upper cross bar 80 interconnecting the rib elements 74 and the elements 76.
- a pair of apertures 82 thus are defined in this gripping portion 58 and apertures 82 and 72 of the two gripping members are of the same configuration.
- a generally flatgripping surface 84 is above the base 66 on the inside of the gripping portion 52 of the back gripping member 50.
- This gripping surface 84 is recessed so as to form a shelf 86, as best shown in FIGS. 3 and 4.
- a recess 88 continuing the gripping surface 84 is formed downwardly from the middle portion of the shelf 86, as shown in FIG. 4.
- a rib 90 which is interrupted by the recess 88 is provided on the inside of the base 66 just beneath the shelf 86.
- a pair of laterally spaced concave bearing seats 92 are formed in the inside of the base 66 beneath the lateral rib 90, as best shown in FIG, 4.
- a generally flat gripping surface 94 is provided on the inside of the gripping portion 58 of the front gripping member 56, as best shown in FIGS. 3 and 4.
- a pair of laterally spaced rocker bearing means or studs 96 are provided on the inside of the lower base 78, as best seen in FIG; 4. These rocker bearing means 96 are spaced so as to mate with the bearing seats 92 in the base 66 of the back gripping member 50.
- the inside surface 98 of the handle portion 60 of the front gripping member 56 is offset outwardly with respect to the gripping surface 94, as best shown in FIG. 3.
- the gripping members 50 and 56 are assembled in opposed relationship with the bearing seats 92 receiving the rockerbearing means 96.
- the apertures 72 then become aligned with the apertures 82.
- the assembly of the gripping members 50 and 56 may be effected by means of a pair of clamping spring means 100.
- Each clamping spring means 100 is generally C- shaped and has an end 102 and a knuckled end 104 carrying an integral tab 106 (FIG. 4). If desired, end 102 may also be made a knuckled end like end 104.
- Laterally spaced seats 108a (FIG. 11) are provided in the outside of the base 66 of the back gripping member 50 to receive the ends 102 of the clamping spring means 100.
- a pair of laterally spaced grooves or recesses 110a are provided in the outside of the base 66 of the back gripping member 50 to receive a part of the clamping spring means 100.
- Laterally spaced seats 108b are provided in the outside of the base 78 of the front gripping member 56 to receive the knuckled ends 104 of the clamping spring means 100.
- a pair of laterally spaced grooves or recesses 11Gb are provided in the outside of the base 78 of the front gripping member 56 to receive a part of the clamping spring means 100.
- the clamping spring means When the gripping members 50 and 56 are held together, the clamping spring means may be snapped into place so as to embrace the rocker bearing means 96, as shown by FIGS. and II, and so as to engage the respective gripping portions 52 and 58 and thereby to bias these gripping portions 52 and 58 together.
- the tabs 106 permit the clamping spring means to be withdrawn if desired by means of needle-nosed pliers or similar implement.
- the handle portion 60 of the front gripping member 56 serves as a thumb tab for opening the clamping mechanism 22. It will be seen that the springs 100 serve the dual purpose of urging the gripping members 50 and 56 together and also of securing the gripping members in assembled relation, with the help of the fulcrum means 92 and 96.
- the rocker-bearing means 96 and the associated sockets 92 constitute the preferred form of fulcrum means for the gripping members 50 and 56 for they pennit rocking movement with a minimum of friction.
- the gripping portions 52 and 58 are pressed together by the springs 100 and are drawn apart by pressing the handle portions 54 and 60 toward each other.
- a hinge pin connection supplemented by a torsion spring could be used, but it is notas advantageous.
- the lyre is constructed to securely hold a support member, such as 32 (FIG. 8), of a music holder which carries many sheets of music and frequently in clear plastic envelopes there are occasions when a musician may want to have the lyre hold a single sheet of music. While the sheet could be rested on the shelf 86 (FIG. 4) and gripped by the upper portions of gripping members 50 and 56, this invention provides yet a better way of securing such a sheet as may be understood with the aid of FIG. 3. It may be noted from FIG. 3 that the projecting rib 90 generally engages the base 78 of the front gripping member 56 when the pair of gripping members 50 and 56 are in engagement, or substantially in engagement, under the action of the springs 100.
- One or more such sheets 110 of paper or light cardboard may be rested upon the rocker bearing means 96 and be pressed by the rib 90 against the base 78 of the back gripping member 56, upper portions of the respective gripping surfaces 84 and 94 also coming together to engage the sheets 110 as well.
- the rib 90 is located at a level where the ends of C-shaped springs are exerting their force against gripping members 50 and 56 and a very strong gripping action is pro- 22 is adapted to generally flatly engage the flat opposite sides 40a and 40b of the supporting member 32 of the music holder 30, because the rocker bearing means, or studs, 96 are of such length that the inner gripping surfaces 84 and 94 of the gripping members, when separated so as to be parallel, are then spaced apart a distance corresponding to the thickness of the supporting member 32.
- the rocker bearing means, or studs, 96 are of such length that the inner gripping surfaces 84 and 94 of the gripping members, when separated so as to be parallel, are then spaced apart a distance corresponding to the thickness of the supporting member 32.
- the lower edge 42 of member 32 rests on shelf 86, the recess 88 receives the downwardly projecting means 44 of member 32, the gripping surface 84 of the back gripping member 50 generally flatly engages and is biased against flat side 40a of the supporting member 32, the apertures 72 receive the projecting means 36a, and the whorls 70 at their peripheries engage the projecting means 38a. Also the gripping surface 94 of the front gripping member 56 generally flatly engages and is biased against flat side 40b of the supporting member 32, and the apertures 82 receive the projecting means 36b.
- the apertures 72, the whorls 70, and the apertures 82 cooperate with the respective projecting means 36a, 38a, and 36b to restrain the supporting member from rotating, tilting and slipping with respect to the clamping mechanism 22, and downward projection 44 in recess 88 also serves to resist rotation, slipping and tilting.
- the supporting member 32 may be reversed in position in the clamping mechanism 22, so that the gripping surface 84 of the back gripping member 50 generally flatly engages flat side 4011 of the supporting member 32, and gripping surface 94 flatly engages side 40a.
- the manner in which the clamping mechanism 22 holds the supporting member 32 substantially eliminates any tendency of the supporting member 32 to become dislodged from or to shake free from the lyre 20, even under violent shaking or rocking.
- the mounting means 24, which is adapted for removably mounting the clamping mechanism 22 to a clarinet or some other musical instrument (not shown) having a generally cylindrical portion, comprises a stem and a generally ring-shaped spring member 122.
- the stem 120 which may be of any convenient length, has a first end 124 (FIGS. 3 and 11), mounted to the handle portion 54 of the back gripping member 50, and a second end 126. At least the first end 124 of the stem 120 is preferably of square cross section.
- the handle portion 54 is formed with a slightly oversize" square socket 128 (FIG. 11), and a conventional bowed spring fastener 130 is inserted within the socket 128.
- the bowed spring fastener 130 is flattened so as to press the first end 124 of the stern 120 against the wall of the socket 128.
- Such a bowed spring fastener 130 has a prong 132 which serves to lock it in place in the socket 128.
- the generally ring-shaped spring member 122 which preferably is made of spring steel, has two closely approximated ends 134 and 136 which tend to separate somewhat from each other.
- a tab piece 138 is integrally connected to one end 134 of the spring member 122.
- An open channel piece 140 is integrallyconnected to the other end 136 of the spring member'122. It is preferred that the spring member 122, the tab piece 138, and the channel piece 140 be formed in one piece.
- the spring member 122 is adapted to be resiliently spread open and slipped into place around a generally cylindrical portion of the musical instrument (not shown). It is adapted to generally tightly fit around any generally cylindrical body that is equal in size to or slightly larger than the nominal inside diameter of the spring member 122.
- a slightly elongated hole 142 is formed in the tab piece 138 and a hole 144, which faces the hole 142, is formed in the channel piece 140.
- the channel piece 140 is adapted to receive the stem 120 which is bent at right angles (at 146) near its second end 126 and adapted to pass through the holes 144 and 142, The second end 126 of the stem 120 is externally threaded.
- Fastening means for fastening the tab piece 138 and the channel piece 140 to the second end 126 of the stem 120 comprises a conventional knurled nut 148 adapted to engage the threaded second end 126 of the stem 120. Any other suitable fastening means may be used in place of this nut 148.
- the channel piece 140 is adapted to restrain the stem 120 from twisting with respect to the spring member 122, and particularly when the stem has a cross section the same as the channel piece 140.
- One sidewall 150 of the channel piece 140 may be extended with respect to the other sidewall 152, as shown in phantom lines in FIG. 5.
- the extended portion 154 of this sidewall may be bent at a right angle (at 156) stem 120 and immobilize the stem 120 with respect to the channel piece 140. Thereby the stem 120 will be immobilized even if the nut 148 is loosened. This modification is considered to be within the scope of this invention.
- FIG. 6 illustrates a second form of mounting means 160 which may be used in place of the mounting means 24 to removably mount the clamping mechanism 22 to a musical instrument (not shown) having a generally cylindrical portion.
- the mounting means 160 comprises a stem 162 and a generally ring-shaped spring member 164.
- the stem 162 which may be of any convenient length, has a first end (not shown) which may be mounted to the handle portion 54 of the back gripping member 50 in the same manner as the first end 124 of the stem 120 of the mounting means 24 is to be mounted, and a second end 166.
- the stem 162 is preferably of square cross section overall.
- the generally ring-shaped spring member 164 is similar to the generally ring-shaped spring member 122 of the mounting means 24.
- the channel piece 174 is adapted to receive the stem 162 which is provided at its second end 166 with an internally threaded lateral hole 180.
- Fastening means for fastening the tab piece 172 and the to enclose the respect to the channel piece 174 in a manner similar to the manner in which the stem 162 (of the first form of mounting means 24) may be immobilized with respect to the channeh;
- the nut 208 which is assembled on the threaded member 200 hasa threaded bore 210 cooperating with the thread of threaded member 200 and has a larger bore 212 which is slightly larger than the head 203 on the threaded member 200. Since the enlarged head 203 cannot pass through the threaded bore 210, nut 208 cannot become separated from member 200 and become lost.
- the clamping mechanism 22 may readily be employed with other stems than the stems 120, 162 and 198 which are illustrated and described above. That is, the stem may have other configurations and may also have its second end 126 of plain, square or other cross section. adapted for insertion in a socket of corresponding square (or other) cross section formed on, or fastened to, a musical instrument. This interchangeability with various stems permits the clamp ing mechanism to be employed with a number of different mounting means and with a variety of musical instruments.
