Abstract:
1. An instrument holder suitable for mounting on a stand having a shaft, said holder constructed as a one-piece unit from bending a single, continuous length of metal wire having a circular cross-section sufficiently rigid to support the instruments for which it is designed without significant distortion and comprising: a mounting portion that utilizes a coil shape that spirals downward for approximately 360 degrees at a circumference that will accommodate the shaft of the stand for which it is designed to be mounted; and an instrument securement portion having two cradle-like configurations wherein each cradle-like configuration comprising two upper edges, two front edges connected to each upper edge and extending downward from the two upper edges, and a bottom support extending from the two front edges and below the upper edges, wherein the two front edges and bottom support form in a loop shaped configuration, said loop having a width sufficient to allow the narrow portion of an instrument's tapered handle to pass through but narrow enough to prevent the wider portion of said tapered handle to pass through thereby allowing said loop to also function as a hanger, and each said cradle-like configuration having one prong extending laterally from one of the upper edges and the prong comprises an upwardly facing tip; and a neck portion connecting the mounting portion and the instrument securement portion providing spacing therebetween.
