Musical Instrument Support Bar with Ball Head Universal Rotation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional musical instrument stands can only adjust height or rotating angle in a single direction, limiting the ability to freely adjust bending direction and angle, which does not meet the diverse playing habits and preferences of musicians.
Innovation Solution
A musical instrument support bar comprising a holder, a ball head bar, and an extension bar, where the ball head bar has universal rotation ability with respect to the holder and the extension bar fixes the musical instrument vertical pole, allowing for independent adjustment of bending direction and angle.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a conventional one-legged structure with a rotating shaft and telescopic bar is used, then the height and single-direction rotating angle can be adjusted, but the bending direction and bending angle cannot be adjusted freely in multiple directions
Solution Approach 1:
The support bar is divided into multiple independent segments: holder, ball head bar, and extension bar. Each segment can be adjusted independently, allowing the vertical pole to achieve multi-directional bending adjustments while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure. The holder clamps the bottom pole, the ball head bar provides universal rotation, and the extension bar connects to the vertical pole, creating a modular segmented system.
Solution Approach 2:
The ball head bar is designed with universal rotation capability, transforming the static single-direction adjustment into a dynamic multi-directional adjustment system. This allows the vertical pole to rotate freely in multiple directions while connected to the holder, providing adaptability without requiring a completely complex reconfigurable structure.
2Ease of operation
If a rotating shaft with single-direction angle adjustment is used, then the structure remains simple, but the player cannot adjust the bending direction and bending angle to a desired position freely
Solution Approach 1:
The ball head bar incorporates a spherical joint mechanism that enables universal rotation in multiple directions. This spherical design allows the extension bar and vertical pole to be positioned at any bending angle and direction relative to the holder, providing operational flexibility without requiring multiple separate adjustment mechanisms.
Solution Approach 2:
The ball head bar serves multiple functions: it connects the holder to the extension bar, provides universal rotation capability, and enables multi-directional bending adjustment. This multi-functional component achieves ease of operation across multiple degrees of freedom while avoiding the need for separate mechanisms for each adjustment direction.

AI summary
The present invention relates to a musical instrument support bar disposed between a musical instrument bottom pole and a musical instrument vertical pole. The musical instrument support bar comprises a holder, a ball head bar and an extension bar, wherein the holder comprises a bottom pole clamp for clamping the musical instrument bottom pole, and a ball type clamp. Two ends of the ball head bar are respectively a ball head end clamped by the ball type clamp, and a columnar end. Two ends of the extension bar are respectively a first end engaging the columnar end and a second end engaging the musical instrument vertical pole. Accordingly, as the universal rotation ability is formed by the ball head end clamped by the ball type clamp, the musical instrument support bar is bent freely so that a bending direction and a bending angle thereof can meet the needs in use.
