ABSTRACT:
The connector hardware portion of each percussive musical instrument or accessory comprises strong, practical, rugged, and economical connector parts, one of which is a clamp adapted to grip solidly onto a tube at any desired rotated and axial position, and the other (second) of which is connected to a percussive instrument or accessory portion and is adapted to lock onto the clamp in a way that prevents both rotational and axial shifting relative thereto. The locking is effected in a readily removable manner, as by means including a set screw, and the relationship is such that there can be only one position of the other (second) part relative to the clamp after locking has occurred. Therefore, once the clamp is initially set at a desired rotated and axial position, there is an automatic rotational and axial "indexing" which permits any number of separations and re-connections of the two parts (and of the percussive instrument or accessory) without permitting the locked positions to change.
The clamp is generally C-shaped and has lugs which, when moved towards each other, as by a fastener, effectively lock the clamp at the desired rotational and axial position on the tube. The other (second) part is a receiver which receives at least part of the clamp, having an opening therein through which the lugs extend. Withdrawal of the clamp from the receiver is prevented by a set screw which engages the clamp or an extension thereof.
